Montana Ranch Homes For Sale In Scottsdale

Montana Ranch consists of 95 homes and is located right off Shea Boulevard and 120th Street in Scottsdale. Montana Ranch is a gated community, and the homes were built between 1988 and 1995, sitting on lots of approximately half an acre and ranging from about 3,500 to just over 6,000 square feet.

Montana Ranch Real Estate Market Overview

Montana Ranch combines an established east Scottsdale address with the scarcity of a small gated community.

Homes here have historically ranged from roughly $950,000 to about $2,500,000, with pricing driven by square footage, lot position, view corridor, and the extent of renovation. Because the homes date to the late 1980s and early 1990s, and many have since been substantially updated, an original residence and a fully renovated one of similar size are not comparable properties. Contact The Holm Group for the most current pricing and availability.
