OVERVIEW & EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This premier ranch and farm property is large, contiguous, and offers prospective buyers the opportunity to control miles of country in Western North Dakota. Large tracts in Western Country are often available but rarely provide the combination of alluring beauty and earning potential this property boasts. This working ranch and farm has versatile appeal, complete with a nearly even split of crop and pastureland. Water is everywhere, both naturally and through dugouts and various wells. The home at ranch headquarters is an updated 1970’s Bowman County gem fit for an out-of-area purchaser who might enjoy the tranquility and escape written about in books and enjoyed by many American icons throughout history. When you consider the market for comparable properties with recent sales within this region, you will find these tracts within reach while offering many of the same attributes which attract people to Western Country.
This real estate is accessible and remote in ways many large adjoining tracts in this region are not. Well-maintained gravel roads define the boundaries of the property. As you traverse through the acreage, you’ll find private roads maintained in a similar fashion and open section line prairie roads where they are needed. The Slope/Bowman County line lays adjacent to the north end of Tract 1, and a mile north from there, you will find yet another well-tended road which divides section 27 from the government leased land and the balance of the southern portion of the property.
LOCATION
The driveway leading to Ranch HQ is within a mile and a half of Rhame, ND and US Hwy. 12. Bowman, ND, the regional hub of the region, is 15 miles southeast. Bowman Co. Regional Airport (KBWW) is 19 miles southeast with a recently constructed 5,700’x75’ concrete 13/31 runway.
