Preserving Legacy Properties.
In Montana, land isn’t just land.
A ranch, a cabin, or a lakeshore home can be the heart of a family’s story—where generations have worked side-by-side, celebrated milestones, and passed down traditions that define who they are.
I know this firsthand. I’m a partial owner of my family’s ranch, which we’ve held for over 150 years. That kind of history doesn’t survive by luck. It’s the result of each generation making intentional choices to protect it, even when it’s not easy.
Over the years, I’ve also seen the other side—properties sold under pressure, ending up in the hands of buyers who see only a transaction instead of a legacy. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to help people save, obtain, and, if needed, sell legacy properties to the right kind of buyer.
Why Legacy Properties Matter
Legacy properties aren’t just investments. They’re living pieces of history that carry:
Stories – Every barn beam, fence line, or lakeshore tells one.
Traditions – Annual hunts, summer barbecues, harvest seasons.
Identity – They connect families to a place and a way of life.
When these properties are preserved, they keep those stories alive for generations. When they’re sold without care, those traditions can be lost forever.
Helping You Keep What’s Yours
If your family wants to hold onto your property but isn’t sure how to make it work financially, there are solutions.
I help owners explore:
Creative financing and restructuring options.
Revenue opportunities like grazing leases, hunting rights, or short-term rentals.
LLC or trust structures to protect the land and avoid future disputes.
Keeping a property in the family often takes strategy—and I can guide you through it.
Selling Without Losing the Soul of the Land
Sometimes selling is unavoidable. But that doesn’t mean the property’s spirit has to be lost.
When I represent sellers of legacy properties, I:
Vet buyers to find those who will respect the land’s history.
Negotiate terms that protect unique features and access.
Market the property in a way that speaks to like-minded stewards, not just investors.
Helping Buyers Start Their Own Legacy
Whether you’re the first generation or the seventh, I help buyers find properties worth keeping for decades to come. That means focusing on:
Unique land and water assets that hold long-term value.
Understanding zoning, water rights, and easements.
Connecting new owners with the resources to manage and protect their property.
Who I Am and Why It Matters
I’m not just a real estate agent. I’m someone who understands what it means to protect a property for future generations because my family has been doing it for a century and a half.
I believe these properties deserve more than just a sale—they deserve stewardship. And I want to be the one who helps make that happen.
