Once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire a Gallatin Valley working ranch with its own wildlife sanctuary. Over 200 acres, 4 bedroom ranch house, spacious 2 bedroom caretakers house, barn and other out buildings.
This is one of the most water enriched parcels in Montana, with the Middle Fork and Main channel of the Madison River. The river meanders and braids through the ranch, creating islands and sloughs, just before the confluence of the Headwaters of the Missouri River. Additionally, the Darlington ditch, a popular local trout fishing spring creek, bisects the ranch.
This area, once the prime hunting grounds of the local Native American tribes, is rich in wildlife. The lush vegetation and water resources are home to mule deer, white-tailed deer and moose. Coyote, bocate, fox, badger, proucpine, mink, otter and beaver have all been seen on the property. Hundreds of species of upland game birds and waterfowl reside here, as well as, use the waters during migration. The owner has documented over a hundred bird species seen here.
The Headwaters Sporting Ranch has been managed as a reserve for wildlife, but additionally there is close to 60 acres of irrigated pasture and hay ground. A design has been drafted for a large center pivot to utilize the excellent irrigation rights that transfer with the ranch.
This ranch is not only abundant in wildlife and agricultural resources but offers a rich history of Native American use, Lewis & Clark travels and pioneer settlement. It has excellent access via paved roads with a short drive on a gravel road to its headquarters, nestled in a grove a trees near the river. Located near quaint ranching town of Three Forks and a short 15 minute drive to Bozeman and an international airport.
