Trophy Ranches is proud to offer you the largest contiguous deeded acreage ranch for sale in the state of Montana. The L.I.T. Ranch encompasses an impressive total of 64,812 +/- acres. Within this expanse, approximately 45,286 acres are deeded, complemented by an additional 16,966 +/- acres leased from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and 2,560 +/- acres leased from the State. Two large ranch headquarters combined with a 10,496 sq/ft 3-story lodge provides a surreal western lifestyle, but accommodates a luxurious stay for friends, family, and visitors.
With water in every section of the ranch, it is known as one of most well-watered ranches in Montana. The diverse terrain and habitats support a multitude of ecosystems, with mature Ponderosa Pine and Juniper trees, Buffalo, and Chokecherry brush providing dense cover. The lush coulees and grassy ridges amongst the 1,000 acres of dryland hay ground provides phenomenal forage for both cattle and wildlife. The wildlife is abundant and varies from trophy elk, mule deer, white-tailed deer, antelope, turkeys, sage grouse, sharp-tail grouse, huns, pheasants, waterfowl, and rainbow trout just to name a few.
Furthermore, this ranch is rich in history, having been visited by the iconic Teddy Roosevelt, who explored its expansive terrain and hunted across the region. Additionally, the property can be explored for old buffalo remains, teepee rings/Indian artifacts, ammonites, seashells, and the two dinosaurs that continue to be unearthed, adding an intriguing dimension to its already rich legacy. Multiple income producing possibilities elevate this ranch above the rest. A sprawling road network spanning the entirety of the ranch encourages exploration, captivating you as you gaze beyond each successive ridge. This distinctive composition presents an unmatched opportunity to acquire a world-class hunting, recreational, and cattle operation all in one.
For the year 2024, the owner will be grazing 3,500 yearlings from May 1 to December 1 and 600 pair year-round while rotating the cattle throughout the 34 pastures. The ranch can run 2,000 pairs year-round if a new owner is interested in operating as a mother cow operation. The grass is high in protein and plentiful throughout the ranch yielding top of the market heavy weight calves and stacking superior gains onto the yearlings in the fall. The pastures vary in size from 100 to 7,600 acres, with most being on the larger size. With miles of new fence and the unique layout of the ranch with two headquarters and multiple working corrals, it allows for cattle to flow from one pasture to the next, making it easy for the ranch manager when rotating pastures.

Ranch and provide an authentic review for prospective buyers seeking a world-class ranch in Montana. The L.I.T. Ranch is truly unparalleled, so seize this unique opportunity and don’t miss out on the chance to make it yours.
