Property Description
This Historic Farmstead, ± 290 acres of rolling farm ground and grass, sits nestled high above the Shields Valley on the at the base of the majestic Crazy Mountains. This circa 1905 farmstead is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The views from the farmstead are truly exceptional. The Crazies command the view from the northwest around to the east, where the sky sits upon a horizon of grass and sage. To the south is a panorama of the Absaroka and Beartooth Mountains, including a view deep into Paradise Valley. To the west, is 180 degrees of mountains and valley—first the Bangtails, behind them the Gallatin’s, and then the Bridgers, reaching all the way to the Belts, over 50 miles to the northwest. The view encompasses miles of grain fields, hay and native grasses, as well as the tree-lined drainages of the beautiful Shields Valley.
Unlike other more populated areas in SW Montana, the Shields Valley has retained its agricultural character. Development has been kept to a minimum by large working farms and ranches. Like much of the valley, the Robinson Bench harkens back to an earlier, simpler time where many of the early homestead families still farm and ranch in the area. This is a pastoral, gentle landscape of cultivated fields, native grasses and sage. The contrast of the green and straw-colored fields, combined with the tree-lined creek drainages and the timbered, snow-capped peaks of the Crazies is mesmerizing. It is extremely rare for land in this area to change hands. The discerning buyer will appreciate the opportunity to enjoy a special retreat in a gorgeous piece of Montana landscape.
