The owner of the Super Bowl-bound Atlanta Falcons has bought a second ranch in Montana’s Paradise Valley.

The Great Falls Tribune reports that Arthur Blank bought the 6,300-acre West Creek Ranch in the spectacular mountain valley where the Yellowstone River flows north from the national park to Livingston along Interstate 90.

It is the second Montana ranch for the co-founder of Home Depot. He also owns an adjoining ranch, the Mountain Sky Guest Ranch, which he bought in 2001.

The price was not disclosed.

The West Creek Ranch is a working ranch and will serve as an additional platform for The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation’s philanthropic work in the West. That’s according to a news release from the Arthur M. Blank Family of Businesses, the entity that operates Blank’s business interests.

The philanthropic work is focused on conservation of natural resources and wildlife habitat.
