Tim began working in ranch real estate in 1999. Born and raised in southeast Iowa, Tim moved to Bozeman, Montana in 1991 enamored by the landscape of the Northern Rockies. An avid outdoorsman, he can often be found fly-fishing, bow hunting, alpine skiing, pursuing upland birds and waterfowl with his bird dogs whom are also often companions on ranch tours. Tim holds brokerage licenses in Montana and Wyoming and although the Greater Yellowstone Region is effectively his “backyard”, he equally enjoys the huge expanse of prairie and smaller mountain ranges that make this part of the west so unique. Tim is quite familiar with the region and well versed on how these ranches operate and how that may dovetail to a new owners needs and desires. Particularly, Tim has a strong base knowledge of aquatic development and wildlife management which he enjoys sharing with clients. He is a skilled photographer which naturally is supported in his career. Tim and his family continue to live in Bozeman and enjoy every aspect of the mountain community.
Flathead Pass is a 350± acre retreat located 28 miles northeast of Bozeman on the ultra-scenic “backside” of the Bridger Mountains. The rolling landscape includes native range grasses, sage, large pockets of conifers and during the summer, a full display of wildflowers. The property is appointed with a 3,264± sq. ft. residence crafted from Canadian logs and perched on a hill overlooking the incredible vistas of the east face of the Bridger range as well as a more distant view of the west face of the Crazy Mountains. There are only a handful of neighbors creating a place of solitude and serenity shared with an abundance of wildlife including elk, deer, antelope and black bear. Approximately a half-mile of the Middle Fork of Flathead Creek courses diagonally through the bottoms providing a water resource for wildlife and livestock. For skiing enthusiasts, Bridger Bowl ski area resides a mere 15 miles to the south with alpine skiing as does the Crosscut Ranch for Nordic skiers. The national forest is a very short distance up the road providing access into more incredible country. Bozeman has become one of the more desirable mountain towns in the western United States. Given its close proximity to the forest, skiing, and the luxuries of Bozeman combined with a greater degree of open space and privacy, this property is very desirable in the current marketplace.
Tim brought two colleagues to the property initially, leveraging years of experience and perspective related to valuation.
