Each water source has its own water right that will be transferred to the new owner. By owning nearly 400 acres, it’s no secret that you could have all the privacy you’ve ever wanted while living the Big Sky Country dream. In addition to the privacy found on the ranch, there are thousands of acres of federally owned land adjacent to the ranch, which will likely never be developed, preserving your private paradise. The ranch would be perfect for riding horses, hiking, snowmobiling, or riding other offroad vehicles, and while hunting isn’t allowed on the ranch, there are millions of acres of national forest and state lands that can be enjoyed in other nearby areas of western Montana. It’s not uncommon to see elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, bears, fox, coyotes, geese, ducks, eagles, or even the occasional moose on the ranch!

Missoula is only about 50 minutes away, where there is an international airport. With the proper permission, bird hunting, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, or trail riding is all possible on lands adjoining the ranch.
