Just northwest of Big Sky Resort and only 20± minutes from Ennis lies some of Montana’s most stunningly beautiful land on mountain slopes that lean toward the Madison River. Fay Ranches is privileged to offer this land for sale to a fortunate investor intent on continuing the legacy of conservation and land stewardship established in this valley. Thousands of accessible acres of National Forest land sit to the north and south, and the ranch is contiguous to two conservation easements, adding to the property’s privacy. This area represents an essential component of a critical migration corridor for wildlife in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. In 1929, Julia Bennett, a dude ranch pioneer, designed and built the Diamond J Ranch with the help of a few local workers. Fred Wilson, known for The Baxter in Bozeman and many other iconic buildings in Southwest Montana, was the architect. Historically run as a summer guest ranch, Diamond J Ranch is a private retreat comprised of rolling hills covered in aspen and evergreens with gorgeous views of 10,000’+ jagged peaks inhabited by elk, moose, bear, and deer. The fenced ranch includes a large old historic lodge with a commercial kitchen, historic cabins, horse corrals, a barn, outbuildings, a pool and pool house, and an indoor tennis court with the Spanish Peaks and Fan Mountain to the north and southeast and the Madison River Valley to the west. Mill Creek and the fishable Jack Creek merge and run through the ranch, totaling about a mile of creek frontage, with a spring-fed trout pond in the southwest corner. No zoning or conservation easements inhibit the ranch.
