With 17,000 acres of pure Western heritage, the history of Montana’s FL Robinson Ranch is deeper than you think.
It’s rare that a piece of land so perfectly prepped for any agricultural endeavor hits the market. Originally purchased and developed by mysterious Montana mogul Fred Lee Robinson in 1911, the FL Robinson Ranch is 17,146 deeded acres of living history — all yours for $12,400,000.
Well known in Phillips County as a jack of many trades, Fred Lee Robinson left his mark across many facets of Montana before turning his sites to ranching, kickstarting a general store in Wagner and serving as the Mayor of Malta to name a few of his endeavors.
After leaving Tennessee to escape his “not-so-kind” father, Robinson landed in Wagner, Montana, in 1911. He purchased a piece of land and established a ranch north of Wagner before getting swept up in the whirlwind of World War I. Upon returning from service, Robinson set his sights on developing community and economy in his new hometown.
Rick Robinson, grandson of Fred Robinson, remarks “I gather, through the stories, that Fred felt that growing the community of Malta and Phillips County was more important that owning any one piece of property.” With a generosity that matched his ambition, Robinson turned Phillips County into a bustling town of entrepreneurial opportunity. The FL Robinson Ranch, Robinson’s pride and joy, is one of the many living reminders of the man’s contributions to Phillips County and beyond.
The property reaches across the Northern Great Plains of Montana, encompassing mountains, sweeping valleys, and fertile fields ripe for sowing. With an extensive list of water rights, cattle-raising resources, and soil perfect for growing a variety of crops, the FL Robinson Ranch is a turn-key operation for anyone ready to kickstart their ranching career. For the wildlife lovers, Mule Deer, Whitetail Deer, Pheasants, and Upland Game Birds are abundant across the property.
Available as a trio of parcels for sale, the FL Robinson Ranch can be purchased in full or in sections, ensuring that there’s always enough Fred Lee Robinson history to go around.
