922 Acres in Lavina, MT - $1,300,000
Hoyt Ranch - Home Unit
If youre looking for a small ranching operation in an area that is a bit off the beaten path and where prices are less influenced by mountain views and trout, and more about productivity and value, we invite you to look at the Hoyt Ranch Home Parcel(this parcel). The Hoyt Ranch is a very private and end of the county road ranch. This scenic and well balanced small cattle and farming operation is located about 4 miles southeast of Lavina, MT in a region known for good grass, small grain farming and oil seed production, as well as upland bird and big game hunting. Currently the ranch is used just for cattle production and hunting, but it remains eligible for wheat planting.
Depending on the year, the owners have put up hay on some of the meadows. The ranch is watered with multiple wells (One of which is solar), several springs and reservoirs. (Most of the wells have a storage tank.)

Possible Home Parcel Subdivision
The Home Parcel has two separate parcels that could also be sold independently of one and other, but are currently being offered as one unit. The first of which is a 604 ac. parcel located on the west side of Utopia Road (see the Detail Maps tab). The other is a 319 ac. parcel located on the east side of Utopia Rd. The West Parcel is land only with one solar well. It has a number of nice building sites, all with beautiful views of the surrounding area and Snowy Mountains to the north. This parcel has a good blend of improved grasses in the part that used to be farmed and native grass and forbes in the unfarmed area. It borders a full section of State land, which can be legally accessed for recreational purposes. Access is from the Utopia County Road. The parcel east of Utopia Rd. also has a good mix of improved and native pastures and is where the home and other farm buildings are located. Both parcels have meadows that can be hayed and/or farmed as they have been in the past.
Brokers Comments
This relatively undiscovered area of Montana presents an investor with a great opportunity to own a productive farm/ranch that is only about 40 minutes away from Billings, MT yet, far enough away youre able to enjoy the peace and quiet of Montana. Demand for productive, nuts & bolts type, agricultural land like this property is tight. Its competitively priced, move-in ready and should prove to be a rewarding, long term investment.
