Swan Land Company was featured in The Land Report for the 2012 Deal of the Year with its listing and sale of the Broken O Ranch. The Land Report stated that there are three elements that stood out in 2012: “1) Legacy properties continue to command a premium… 2) The market continues to crave income-producing properties, especially productive farmland… 3) America’s leading landowners view stewardship as a critical element of their trust… One transaction encompassed all three of these elements: the sale of Montana’s historic Broken O Ranch.”
The Land Report also noted in their article regarding America’s Best Brokerages that: “Bozeman-based Michael Swan secured the listing and closed the sale of Montana’s historic 124,000-acre Broken O Ranch, which was offered at $132,500,000, planting him permanently in the top echelon of land brokers in the U.S.”
