Far and Away Estates

Rooted in the spirit of the Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman film that captured scenes in this area, Far and Away Estates is a private, gated ranchette community where Montana’s open spaces meet the convenience of Billings. Set across 200 acres of elevated terrain, the development offers sweeping views, unmatched privacy, and direct adjacency to State Land — giving residents exclusive access to thousands of acres of natural beauty right from their doorstep.

With only 19 tracts ranging from 8–12 acres, Far and Away Estates is intentionally low‑density. Each homesite is positioned to maximize views, preserve privacy, and create a sense of retreat. Private paved roads wind through timbered ridges, canyons, springs, and rimrocks, revealing building sites that feel both rugged and refined.

Despite its sense of seclusion, the community sits just minutes from everything Billings offers. Whether you’re heading to Yellowstone Country Club for a round of golf, driving downtown for dinner and a show, or catching a flight at the airport, you’re less than twenty minutes from it all. It’s proximity without sacrifice — the rare ability to live in wide‑open space without giving up access to the city’s amenities, medical corridor, schools, and culture.

Bordering State Land along its western edge, Far and Away Estates offers residents a private limited easement for hiking, biking, running, and exploring. This connection to protected land enhances both privacy and lifestyle — a feature unmatched by any other west‑end ranchette community.

It’s ideal for those seeking a legacy property, a custom home, or a telecommuting lifestyle surrounded by Montana’s natural beauty.

Far and Away Estates is a place to build a home that feels like a retreat — private, elevated, connected to nature, and still close to everything that matters.

With over half the community already sold, Far and Away Estates continues to attract buyers seeking privacy, space, and modern connectivity.

The location offers proximity without sacrifice — quiet Montana living just minutes from Billings and convenient access to nonstop flights from Billings Logan International Airport.
