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.
The Horse Creek Ranch is a 635± acre property located along the western foothills of the Crazy Mountains in a private setting consisting of undulating terrain which includes forested hills, grassy meadows, grain fields, ponds and riparian corridors. Two forks of Horse Creek flow through the ranch providing water for irrigation. The ranch has been meticulously maintained with an acute focus on wildlife habitat, particularly upland birds. The focal point of the ranch is a 2,672± sq. ft. custom home built with reclaimed square logs and other materials found on site and in the area. The residence is unobtrusively sited in a stand of conifers and commands views over the property and to the expansive Shields River valley. Separate from the main residence is a horse barn, guest house and caretaker’s residence near the entrance to the ranch. The Shields Valley has become a very sought-after location in Montana as it retains its ranching character with larger holdings and attractive small towns like Wilsall, yet is less than an hour to skiing and the amenities offered by Livingston and Bozeman.
Tim brought two colleagues to the property initially, leveraging years of experience and perspective related to valuation.
