STORY CREEK PRESERVE

Buyer Represented
  • Belgrade, Montana

  • 373 Deeded

  • $7,500,000

Story Creek Preserve encompasses 373± acres of prime sporting land nestled in the Gallatin Valley just north of Belgrade, offering convenient access to the airport while remaining within easy reach of Bozeman and all the valley has to offer. Despite its proximity to urban amenities, the property sits at the heart of thriving agricultural country dotted with recreational havens of every scale. The high groundwater table characteristic of this section of the Gallatin River watershed feeds numerous hidden spring creeks throughout the area. Thoughtful development has transformed the land into exceptional waterfowl habitat while creating conditions that draw impressive trout upstream from the Gallatin River into Story Creek’s headwaters. Beyond its water assets, the ranch supports thriving populations of whitetail deer and ring-necked pheasants. Through careful stewardship focused on both agricultural production and wildlife enhancement, the Preserve has been optimized to support abundant game populations. Story Creek Preserve represents a blank slate—an opportunity for the discerning buyer to craft their vision of the perfect sporting estate.
