When purchasing a ranch, it is essential that an in-depth investigation is done in order to ensure that you know exactly what you are purchasing. While this is true for any real estate transaction, it is extremely important when it comes to buying a ranch, farm or recreational tract of land.

4th Annual Buying and Selling Ranches in Montana
Thursday, March 7 & 8, 2019 - Helena, MT
Mike Swan is honored to be a presenter at The Seminar Group's 4th Annual Buying and Selling Ranches in Montana.
Seminar Summary:
The solitude and the beauty of the 1,994± acres of Knapp Creek Basin Ranch is set in a basin with virtually nothing else visible except Cascade Butte, Mount Cecelia and the mountain vistas. Being located only 3.5 miles from Cascade and the mighty Missouri River, makes this an ideal location for a retreat while also serving as a productive grass ranch.
The 4,500 square-foot main residence was built in 1993-1994 by Dave Zion, a renowned builder, and the 2,000 square-foot art studio was built in 2013. The deluxe artist’s studio could easily be converted into a guest house. All of the improvements sit in the middle of the Ranch, creating a lovely compound, miles from anyone, or so it seems.
Have you ever hunted Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep? If yes, then you are one of the lucky few. Getting the opportunity to hunt for bighorn sheep requires many factors ̶ not only skill and physical prowess but also some luck.
There is a very limited quota for bighorn sheep licenses. Depending on the area, the chances of drawing a tag in a random draw are typically less than one percent. And once you do obtain a license, then you have to wait another five years before applying again.

Hunting
A deeply rooted activity in American culture dates as far back as history can take us.
Hunting is deeply ingrained in our national heritage and still carried today in various forms through family traditions.
Long ago, Native American indians roamed the land and hunted animals for food and well-being. Hunting was used by aspiring young braves as a symbol of their passage into adulthood. Thus, using the ability to hunt and feed the family was an ultimate test of manhood.
As the white man arrived bearing European traditions, they quickly shed the concept that all hunted animals were the property of the governing state, private owners or the wealthy.
