Running J Ranch

Philipsburg, MT 59858

Positioned near Philipsburg in southwest Montana, Running J Ranch is a 640-acre recreational ranch rich in wildlife and featuring a desirable blend of mountain meadows and forest. Expansive views of the Pintler Mountains extend across much of the property. Well-defined ridges, varied topography, and a blend of productive meadows and timbered cover create a landscape that feels significantly larger than its 640 acres suggests. An internal road system provides easy access throughout the ranch for hunting, horseback riding, ATV use, and general exploration. The property borders both conservation easement lands and a large neighboring ranch, helping preserve broad wildlife movement and unobstructed views. The owner has historically used Running J Ranch as a hunting camp and has enjoyed consistent opportunities to pursue elk and deer on the property year after year. Recreational ranches of this size, with diverse habitat, strong wildlife populations, and exceptional privacy, are becoming increasingly difficult to find in western Montana. Accessed via private road easement from the Skalkaho Highway, the property enjoys a convenient location near Discovery Ski Area, Georgetown Lake, and the upper stretches of Rock Creek. Philipsburg is approximately 14 miles away, while Missoula and Butte remain within a comfortable drive. Running J Ranch is a standout in today's land market and offers an increasingly uncommon opportunity in one of Western Montana’s premier recreational corridors.
