N-Bar Ranch, Ranch and historical site in Fergus County, United States.
The N-Bar Ranch extends over 60,000 acres of land in central Montana, featuring rolling timber, bottomlands, and riparian corridors near the Snowy Mountains.
Thomas Cruse, a Helena banker, purchased the ranch in 1885 and expanded it through acquiring adjacent properties until selling it to Judith Farms Company in 1913.
The property maintains thirteen original buildings from the 1880s, including a cookhouse and barn, representing the early range cattle period in Montana's development.
The ranch supports 2,000 animal units year-round through its natural resources and maintains water rights dating back to the 1880s through Montana Supreme Court adjudication.
The land hosts approximately 1,900 elk and contains Flatwillow Creek, where trout populations flourish among the diverse Montana wildlife.
