K9’s Cloud 9 is an 80-acre ranch in the Round Butte area — a region respected among competitive field trial professionals for its terrain, climate, and varied water features. Built with intention and performance in mind, the property reflects the standards serious competitors expect, offering infrastructure designed for advanced retriever training while embracing the broader Montana sporting lifestyle. Set in a quiet rural setting with expansive views, the 2,400 SF custom home overlooks a huge pond rich with bird life. The home is designed around a central patio and courtyard that extends to a firepit and seating area overlooking the pond. Additional ponds — including two H-ponds — are positioned across the property, complemented by gated access points. Wheel-line irrigation supports productive hay ground, adding agricultural value. The residence blends craftsmanship and comfort, featuring a gourmet kitchen with top-tier appliances, a 15-foot granite island, and knotty alder cabinetry. Two ensuite bedrooms offer granite showers, while exposed post-and-beam construction and wood finishes create a warm, welcoming feel. A breezeway connects to an oversized two-car garage with fully self-sufficient guest quarters above. The 40’ x 60’ insulated barn is a professional-grade facility with radiant and double-wall construction. The kennel includes six indoor/outdoor runs with access to a one-acre airing yard and is equipped with climate control, bathroom, washer, and dryer. Three RV pads provide full hookups, and a separate building houses bird pens and equipment storage. Designed for the competitive retriever lifestyle, the ranch offers rare, turnkey functionality in one of the nation’s most respected training regions, while remaining adaptable for equestrian use or as a private Montana residence. Accessed by paved county roads, the property is legally divided into three parcels — 40 acres with improvements and two 20-acre parcels — providing long-term flexibility.
