Alpenglow Ranch
Rare Riverfront Ranch with Beartooth Mountain Views – 251.3 Acres
Just 25 minutes from Red Lodge, Montana, Alpenglow River Ranch is a remarkable 251-acre riverfront property that captures the true essence of Big Sky Country. With the Beartooth Mountains towering just beyond your doorstep and a half-mile of pristine Clarks Fork River frontage, this ranch combines beauty, productivity, and recreation in a way that’s rarely found.
Over 200 acres of rich, irrigated grass/alfalfa fields flourish here, providing both exceptional hay production and excellent grazing. Approximately 130 acres are under a center pivot, with additional acreage irrigated by gated pipe and flood systems. Water rights come from the reliable Mutual and Bridger Ditches, ensuring consistent yields year after year.

Set within Hunting District 555, this ranch offers more than just agricultural productivity — it’s a wildlife haven. Towering cottonwoods shade the riverbanks, creating perfect bedding and nesting habitat, while the irrigated fields serve as a prime food source. The property supports abundant wildlife, including ducks, geese, sandhill cranes, pheasants, whitetail deer, and wild turkeys.
For the angler, the Clarks Fork River is a true gem. Flowing cold and clear along the edge of the property, it offers excellent trout fishing — with rainbow, brown, and cutthroat trout waiting in its riffles and deep pools. Cast a line in the morning mist or spend long summer evenings along the riverbank, where the only sound is the rush of water and the call of a distant crane.
Improvements include a custom-built 6,000-square-foot home, thoughtfully designed for comfort and panoramic views of the mountains and river valley. The home features quality craftsmanship throughout and an attached three-car garage. A second, older home also sits on the property — currently in need of some renovation, but full of potential for a guest house, caretaker’s residence, or rental opportunity. The property is fully equipped with working corrals, a barn, and multiple outbuildings, making it ideal for livestock or horses.
Whether you’re looking for a productive working ranch, a premium horse property, or a one-of-a-kind recreational retreat, Alpenglow River Ranch delivers. From haying in the lush meadows to fly-fishing at sunrise and hunting trophy whitetail, waterfowl, or upland birds in the fall, every day here celebrates the Montana lifestyle.
