Description
Situated in the heart of Montana's Bitterroot Valley, this exceptional 241.15± acre irrigated ranch represents one of the valley's increasingly rare large landholdings. Comprising five separate legal parcels, the property offers productive agriculture, premier homesite potential, and long-term investment appeal in one of Montana's most sought-after regions. Multiple locations throughout the ranch provide exceptional settings for a custom residence or ranch headquarters with expansive views of the Bitterroot and Sapphire mountain ranges. Existing infrastructure includes a well, septic system, electrical service, and high-speed internet. Frontage along Highway 93, additional access from Gold Creek Loop, and the five-parcel configuration further enhance the property's long-term flexibility. The sellers have successfully operated a commercial peat moss business from the ranch for many years, harvesting and marketing peat for horticultural use. Buyers interested in this opportunity should conduct their own due diligence regarding future production and commercial potential. The irrigated acreage is supported by valuable water rights and has historically been utilized for hay production and livestock grazing. According to the owner, the property has supported approximately 105 cow-calf pairs from April through October. Productive pasture, irrigated ground, and relatively level topography offer versatility for a variety of agricultural operations. Whitetail deer, waterfowl, sandhill cranes, migratory birds, and seasonal elk frequent the property. Just minutes away, the Bitterroot River, Bitterroot National Forest, Lake Como, and Lost Trail Powder Mountain provide exceptional opportunities for fly fishing, hunting, horseback riding, hiking, boating, and skiing. Large irrigated ranches of this size rarely become available in the Bitterroot Valley, making this an outstanding opportunity to own a true legacy property.
