Description

Nestled in Montana's Blackfoot Valley, Ashby Creek Ranch presents a unique opportunity. This expansive 1,739-acre property boasts a rich agricultural history, dating back to 1888, and offers a compelling blend of productive farmland and recreational land. The ranch features 775 acres of cropland, with 340 acres irrigated by a modern system including three center pivots (two recently replaced in 2021 and 2022), six wheel lines, and a gravity-fed system. Four creeks provide abundant water resources, supported by extensive historic water rights, crucial for both irrigation and the thriving ecosystem. The diverse landscape includes significant timbered areas, providing habitat for deer and elk, and enhancing the scenic beauty of the valley. The ranch's location near Missoula, Montana's second-largest city, provides convenient access to urban amenities while maintaining a secluded, rural setting. Its proximity to over 40,000 acres of state land opens up vast recreational opportunities. The property's strategic location contributes to wildlife connectivity, and its streams are vital to the Blackfoot River's renowned fishery. Currently used as a hay base for a larger operation, Ashby Creek Ranch presents potential for various management strategies, making it an exceptional investment opportunity in Montana's desirable Blackfoot Valley. The property's long-standing agricultural legacy, combined with its abundant water resources and diverse ecosystems, positions it as a premier land offering in the region.
