Dark Skies Farm is a rare opportunity to own one of Montana's premier recreational and sporting properties. Encompassing 209.281± deeded acres across two parcels along the legendary Big Horn River, this turnkey estate has been meticulously developed to maximize waterfowl habitat, productive agriculture, and year-round recreation.
Approximately 1,800 feet of Big Horn River frontage, complete with a grandfathered private boat ramp, provides direct access to one of the West's most renowned fisheries while creating exceptional river hunting opportunities.
Extensive water management infrastructure—including pumps, aerators, managed wetlands, electrical service, and ice eaters—maintains open water during Montana's coldest months, attracting ducks and Canada geese throughout the late season. Additional sloughs and carefully managed habitat provide outstanding early-season hunting, while diversified food plots of corn, millet, sorghum, peas, buckwheat, and other forage crops hold birds throughout the migration. Three new Valley pivots currently irrigate more than 70 acres, with additional expansion potential.
Beyond waterfowl, the ranch features pheasant and turkey preserve permits, a professionally stocked trout pond, and a commercial-grade sporting clays course. Every aspect of the property has been designed to provide an unmatched sporting experience while emphasizing habitat enhancement and wildlife conservation.
The improvements are equally impressive. The fully furnished 3,328± square-foot main residence offers seven bedrooms, three full baths, one half bath, central air, and gas forced-air heat. A newly completed 60' x 100' heated shop includes approximately 1,345 square feet of finished living quarters with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and ten climate-controlled Priefert dog kennels featuring indoor/outdoor runs. Oversized shop doors provide abundant storage for equipment, boats, and recreational vehicles.
Located just 25 minutes south of Hardin and within an hour of Billings and Sheridan, Wyoming, Dark Skies Farm offers exceptional accessibility without sacrificing privacy. Whether your vision is creating family traditions, entertaining clients, operating an elite hunting property, or investing in one of Montana's finest recreational farms, Dark Skies Farm is a truly rare legacy offering where premier hunting, productive farmland, luxury improvements, and outstanding wildlife habitat come together in one remarkable property.
