Black Bluffs, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

Usually I don't write up pieces of land without homes on them but this one is pretty impressive, a huge 1,507-acre spread (1,374 deeded along with 133-acre BLM lease) in Montana on the Yellowstone River. This area was named Black Bluffs by Capt. William Clark of Thomas Jefferson's Corps of Discovery and has been basically untouched for over 200 years. The property is bordered on the north by 2.5 miles of private Yellowstone River frontage and has dramatic upriver views framed by the Beartooth Mountains, Montana's tallest peaks. The river is full of wild brown and rainbow trout and the area is rich with wildlife including sage grouse, wild turkey, elk, moose, black bear, antelope, eagle and osprey. The property is located about 30 minutes away from Billings, Montana. Hopefully whoever buys this land will preserve this beautiful open space. It is listed at $5,750,000.

Some people just want to kick back on vacation but if you'd rather be completely exhausted at the end of every day Timberline Adventures can help. They run bicycling and hiking tours throughout the Western United States for those who are interested in experiencing the countryside on an intimate level. They have 25 years of experience and have created a variety of tours from four or five day jaunts to a 12-day trip through Montana or an 18-day Lewis and Clark adventure through the Dakotas. The tours are done in groups from eight to 15 people and tour prices include accommodations, breakfasts and dinners. The Montana Magic tour runs August 20 through 31 and costs for $3,195. Because sometimes the greatest luxury is being able to eat whatever you want at the end of the day, knowing you'll burn up every single calorie on the road the next day.
