Petty Creek Valley, Montana

Gus Creek Ranch

Sixty-five acres of pasture, creek, and forest — a place we return to through every season.

Life at the Ranch

The land sets the pace. Snowmelt, green pasture, dry grass, and the quiet weeks when the valley holds its breath.

Gus Creek and Petty Creek run through the property. The ranch borders Lolo National Forest, so a walk from the porch can turn into a day in the timber. Horses, wildlife, and weather — that is the daily news.
