COTTONWOOD RANCH
Custer is a typical agriculture community with friendly people and great community spirit. The majority of farmers and ranchers have been in the area for generations. Social life revolves around school (K-12th grade) and ranch activities. The area is a sportsman's paradise with elk, mule deer, whitetail, antelope, turkey, waterfowl, pheasants and sharptails, all converging at the Yellowstone and Bighorn River confluence. The fishing waters at the ranch are in a transitional zone with both cold water Brown and Rainbow Trout and warm water Walleye, Sauger and Catfish.

Brokers Comments:
Cottonwood Ranch is a rare find in the tightly held Custer Area. Laying about 5 miles west of the confluence of the Big Horn and the Yellowstone Rivers, the ranch offers the sportsman and naturalist a unique combination of habitat for big game, birds, and fish. Whitetail in the bottoms; elk, mule deer and antelope on the range; turkey, pheasants, and sharptails in the meadows and river bottoms; and a large, fall migration of ducks and geese along the Yellowstone and its backwaters give an unsurpassed concentration of wildlife. The ranch is large enough to have control of the habitat while still being agriculturally productive. It’s in a quiet rural setting, but less than an hour to Billings, offering the best of all worlds to the absentee owner. The ranch has been leased to a neighbor who would like to continue leasing if so desired by the new owner. |
