N Bar Ranch
Grass Range, MTSteeped in the history of the American West lies the N Bar Ranch spanning more than 60,000± contiguous acres in the foothills of central Montana’s Snowy Mountains, 100 miles north of Billings, Montana.
Pope Ranch has a diverse mix of habitats situated against a steep wall of mountains that provide an intense view of jagged granite with snow most of the year. Ashley Creek flows out of the mountains and onto this 910± acre ranch through a lush, fern-filled forest before opening up to the green hay meadows below. The ranch currently runs about 175 pairs and produces 660 tons of hay on average annually. All irrigation is on gravity flow which makes for a more cost-effective operation. The upper one-third of the property is timbered hills while the lower two-thirds is almost entirely irrigated with a combination of one pivot, wheel lines, hand lines and flood. The recreational resources on the ranch and in the surrounding area offer everything you’d expect from the northern Rockies.
