Description

Lucky Duck Ranch

The ranch spans 230 acres and fronts the Yellowstone River for over a mile. Across the river, one can admire a picturesque view composed of agricultural fields and the foothills of native range, with the majestic Crazy Mountains serving as a scenic backdrop in the northern direction. When first arriving at the property, the breathtaking prominence of the Crazy Mountains immediately captures one's attention. The driveway traverses a flat bench before descending from a bluff towards the river, creating a remarkably secluded setting for the residence.

Behind the house, a beautiful spring-fed wetland emerges, forming several acres of cattail wetlands. These wetlands not only contribute to the aesthetic appeal but also serve as a habitat for trout spawning. A small stream, which has been enhanced to support the spawning of trout, meanders through the wetlands and eventually flows into the Yellowstone River at the eastern end of the property. Mowed trails invite visitors to take a leisurely walk along the creek and the riverbank, offering a serene and enjoyable experience.

Lucky Duck Ranch is situated along the Yellowstone River in close proximity to Springdale, MT, approximately 21 miles east of Livingston. Continuing further east, one would reach the town of Big Timber, located approximately 15 miles away. The Yellowstone River originates from Yellowstone National Park near the park's north entrance in Gardiner, MT, which is roughly 75 miles from the ranch.

For those seeking a vibrant cultural experience, convenient retail options, and various services, the bustling city of Bozeman, MT awaits approximately 47 miles to the west. Bozeman-Yellowstone International Airport, the busiest airport in Montana, is located roughly 60 miles away from the ranch, providing convenient air travel options. In addition, Livingston offers a paved 5,701-foot airstrip at an elevation of 4,659 feet. This airstrip is equipped to accommodate most jets with instrument approaches, and it also offers fuel and hangar rentals.

We were the lucky ducks!

We so enjoyed our stay on at the Lucky Duck Ranch. It was amazing to be in this beautiful natural setting, with the Yellow Stone River running through the property. This is the perfect fly fisherman's paradise or the perfect getaway for solitude. We also enjoyed the neighboring town of Livingston and Bozeman, which have some great restaurants, but are a bit of a drive. Allen our host was warm and friendly and gave us some nice options for things to do. Montana is beautiful. ”
