Set along an exclusive stretch of the renowned Missouri River, Hemingway Flats, the Brown Drake at 159 Barnes Lane in Craig represents a rare offering of refined riverfront living in one of Montana’s most iconic fly-fishing destinations.
This exceptional home blends understated elegance with the rugged beauty of Big Sky Country, delivering a private sanctuary where luxury and nature exist in perfect balance. With direct frontage on the Missouri River, owners enjoy immediate access to blue-ribbon trout waters, whether wading from the bank at sunrise or launching a drift boat for a day on the water.
Thoughtfully designed for both sophisticated entertaining and relaxed retreat, the residence features expansive gathering spaces, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and panoramic river views that create a stunning backdrop in every season. Evenings are best spent unwinding on the deck as the river moves quietly below and Montana’s vast skies unfold overhead.
Ideally positioned just moments from Craig’s amenities yet offering a sense of seclusion and exclusivity, Brown Drake is perfectly suited as a legacy property, private escape, or high-end income-producing retreat catering to discerning anglers and travelers when you are not utilizing the property yourself.
Opportunities to own luxury riverfront property of this caliber on the Missouri are exceptionally limited making this a truly distinguished offering in the Montana market.
