Description
Joliet Cutacross Ranchette | 287± Acres | Joliet, Montana
Where privacy, exceptional wildlife, and true Montana solitude come together.
Located just 10± miles from Joliet along the scenic Cutacross Road, this 287± acre ranchette offers a rare combination of privacy, recreation, and functionality. Tucked into the rolling foothills at the base of Shane Ridge, the property features a beautiful mix of productive pasture and dry land crop ground, timbered draws, pine-covered ridges, and a seasonal spring that creates outstanding habitat for wildlife.
The area is well known for its healthy populations of elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, Merriam’s turkey, black bear, and upland birds. Whether you're a hunter, wildlife enthusiast, or simply enjoy watching animals from your deck, the property delivers year-round opportunities and the kind of wildlife presence that is increasingly difficult to find in this area for this size of acreage.
At the heart of the ranch sits a custom 3,014± square-foot log home offering warmth, character, and modern comfort. The three-level home features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, multiple living areas, and expansive windows that capture the surrounding landscape. Recent updates include a beautifully remodeled kitchen with high-end appliances, refinished hardwood flooring, new carpet, fresh paint, and updated finishes throughout. French doors open to a wraparound deck where morning coffee is often accompanied by grazing deer and evenings conclude with sweeping Montana sunsets.
A newly constructed 40'x60' shop, completed in 2024, provides ample space for equipment, vehicles, livestock needs, recreational gear, or workshop projects.
The setting is what truly sets this property apart. With very few neighboring landowners and an end-of-the-road feel, the Joliet Cutacross Ranchette offers the peace and quiet many buyers seek but rarely find. The landscape feels much larger than its deeded acreage, creating a sense of seclusion while still remaining conveniently accessible to Joliet, Laurel, Billings, and Red Lodge.
Whether you're looking for a private residence, hunting retreat, horse property, small cattle operation, or a place to escape and enjoy the Montana lifestyle, the Joliet Cutacross Ranchette is a property that checks all the boxes. From the abundant wildlife and scenic beauty to the updated improvements and productive acreage, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly special piece of south-central Montana.
