Ranching Begins
The Madison Ranch started as a working cattle operation, where long days and changing seasons defined life on the land.
Stretching across miles of riverfront and open country, The Madison Ranch is a place where land and legacy come together. Our family-owned property sits along eight miles of the lower Madison River, offering a rare balance of working cattle ground, trout-filled waters, and bird-rich uplands. Guests who visit today walk the same fields and fish the same currents that have sustained generations before us. With hunting, fishing, and ranching woven into everyday life, the Madison Ranch stands as a living story of Montana’s enduring spirit.

Eight miles of private Madison River frontage became a haven for trout fishing, while managed uplands grew into bird-rich hunting grounds.
Each generation carried forward a commitment to stewardship, preserving wildlife, open space, and Montana ranching traditions.
With a new lodge opening in 2026, The Madison Ranch is building new traditions while honoring the history that shaped it.
