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.
Ohs Willow Creek Ranch is a 429± acre ranch located near the historic town of Pony, Montana, one hour west of Bozeman. The ranch consists of approximately 197 acres of pivot irrigated cropland, 76± acres of range, and the balance being a lengthy riparian corridor with the collective flows from the North Fork and South Fork of Willow Creek. The views of the Tobacco Root Mountains immediately to the west are simply spectacular. Held for generations, including through Karl Ohs elected Governorship of Montana, the Ohs family historically utilized the ranch as a base for their cattle operations while enjoying the recreational use of the small stream trout fishery and the abundance of wildlife that flourish on the ranch. A historical barn pays tribute to the family and is a landmark building in the area. Ancillary ranching buildings still reside, as do the corrals, but the ranch does not have a residence and is a clean slate for a new owner to create one of their own. By location, the ranch is in a desirable area in southwest Montana, with international air service provided at the Gallatin Airfield 45 minutes away. The small community of Harrison is less than five miles down the road providing local food and a school. To the west resides Pony, a once prosperous gold mining town now best known for the Pony Bar hosting live music and serving cheeseburgers and cold beer. The area remains localized and authentic to its roots in agriculture. The property has a conservation easement held by the Montana Land Reliance to help preserve the integrity of the land and the area.
