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 M Lazy 8 Ranch is a scenic foothill ranch residing in the shadows of the east face of the scenic Crazy Mountains near Big Timber, Montana. The 1,220± deeded acres transition from its northern boundary through pleasant grassy bowls, down steep, timbered canyons with iconic buttes that step down to gentler irrigated meadows and a mile of riparian corridor with a premium fishery pushing through its boundaries. Along the way, springs emerge and flow to confluence with the larger stream, which teems with trout while also providing a water resource for wildlife and livestock. It is a myriad of diversity in landscape with a surreal backdrop of steep snowcapped peaks that arise out of the prairie to over 11,000 feet in elevation. Its privacy is guarded by its undulating topography keeping it exclusive to only a few. The unimproved lands await the next owner to discover a sense of place and create their own chapter in the history of ownership. M Lazy 8 Ranch is a treasured place, relatively simple to own and checks all the boxes of water, wildlife, views, privacy, operations, and importantly- within proximity to the vibrant communities of southwest Montana. Storied in native American history and settled by ranchers long ago, the M Lazy 8 Ranch, and the rural area in which it resides, is quintessential mountain ranch country, vastly undiscovered.
