Description

Lucky Duck Ranch

The ranch spans 230 acres and fronts the Yellowstone River for over a mile. Across the river, one can admire a picturesque view composed of agricultural fields and the foothills of native range, with the majestic Crazy Mountains serving as a scenic backdrop in the northern direction. When first arriving at the property, the breathtaking prominence of the Crazy Mountains immediately captures one's attention. The driveway traverses a flat bench before descending from a bluff towards the river, creating a remarkably secluded setting for the residence.

Behind the house, a beautiful spring-fed wetland emerges, forming several acres of cattail wetlands. These wetlands not only contribute to the aesthetic appeal but also serve as a habitat for trout spawning. A small stream, which has been enhanced to support the spawning of trout, meanders through the wetlands and eventually flows into the Yellowstone River at the eastern end of the property. Mowed trails invite visitors to take a leisurely walk along the creek and the riverbank, offering a serene and enjoyable experience.

Lucky Duck Ranch is situated along the Yellowstone River in close proximity to Springdale, MT, approximately 21 miles east of Livingston. Continuing further east, one would reach the town of Big Timber, located approximately 15 miles away. The Yellowstone River originates from Yellowstone National Park near the park's north entrance in Gardiner, MT, which is roughly 75 miles from the ranch.

For those seeking a vibrant cultural experience, convenient retail options, and various services, the bustling city of Bozeman, MT awaits approximately 47 miles to the west. Bozeman-Yellowstone International Airport, the busiest airport in Montana, is located roughly 60 miles away from the ranch, providing convenient air travel options. In addition, Livingston offers a paved 5,701-foot airstrip at an elevation of 4,659 feet. This airstrip is equipped to accommodate most jets with instrument approaches, and it also offers fuel and hangar rentals.

Lucky Duck Ranch

We loved our week at Lucky Duck Ranch, an unusual property set among ranches along the Yellowstone River. Host Allen Penn provided great advice and was quick to resolve any problem. Yellowstone Park is about an hour away and easily accessible. You'll do a lot of driving at 85mph to get places in Montana but well worth it to get to know this exciting part of our country.”

Beautiful Place Surrounded by Mountains

We loved the location, far enough away but central for many day trips. Home and property are wonderful, clean and comfortable, views are incredible. We loved the Yellowstone River out your front door. Did some fishing, caught a couple, but river current was strong. Visited Bozeman, Big Sky, Red Lodge, Crazy Mountains and Natural Falls, last two had easy to access waterfalls. Cooked at the house and tried a couple nice places in nearby Big Timber. Thanks to our host, Allen, easy to work with and communicated well.”

Relaxing Stay

We loved our stay at the Lucky Duck Ranch! The house is immaculate, cozy, well styled, and new. The bed was so comfy we've attempted to recreate it at home. Our dog enjoyed watching for birds and chewing sticks on the back porch. The property is secluded and on the river which was nice for taking walks. We brought things to fish but didn't end up attempting it. We enjoyed driving through Big Timber to check out the shops the host recommended and had a fun night exploring Bozeman, which was about an hour away.”
