You’ll Need Big Bucks to Live Next to the ‘Duttons’ in Darby

"Yellowstone" may be winding down at the Chief Joseph Ranch in Western Montana. Even so, the odds of eventually owning the iconic ranch, and being able to afford it, have likely soared from 5-years ago.

But if you have a "well-heeled" cowboy boot attitude, you could certainly be "neighbors" with the Duttons if you buy this Darby ranch that's on the market.

Just be prepared to write a LOT of zeros on the check.

Another Montana landmark

The Hart Bench Ranch isn't right next door to the "Duttons", but less than 5 miles away is "neighborly" in Montana geography. And the ranch being offered through legendary brokers Hall and Hall certainly checks all the "Yellowstone" boxes.

The ranch is parked on a "parked out" 155 deeded acres, with meadows, fields and forest with a sweeping view of the Southern Bitterroot Front and the dominance of Trapper Peak.

A working or "hobby" ranch? Maybe both

The listing says the spread is "efficient and compact in a setting that rivals some of the best in the West, and "sets a new bar for what a hobby operation can be."

Yet there are possibilities for making money too. The gorgeous log home isn't huge at just under 2900 square feet. But there's also "a guest house, two car garage, two shops, a saloon", and a "heated and vented tunnel-style greenhouse".

Add a 9200 square foot hay barn, a 3360+ square foot horse barn, a fishing pond, and Bitterroot River access and five miles of "new split rail fencing", and you've got a perfect spot to share with vacationers looking for that western "video vibe."

In fact, with that "western saloon" and river fishing, it might even be the Duttons that come over to hang out!

How much?

Well, like the old expression says "if you have to ask you can't afford it." Listing agent Deke Tidwell has the full info, but the asking price is $10,750,000.

Just be sure you raise your own steaks because the neighbors can get a little grouchy if you decide to "borrow some."
