Description

The Clarks Fork River Ranch begins along an undulating stretch of the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River, lined with willows and majestic, mature cottonwood trees. The nearly one mile of river frontage and riparian habitat give way to lush, irrigated pastures, leading up to the higher ground where the beautiful, handcrafted headquarters and improvements command spectacular views of the river below and the Beartooth Mountain Front Range of the Rockies on the western horizon.

The four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home was custom-built by the current owners in 2016. The large adjacent shop features radiant heat, as well as a two-story, two-bedroom, two-bath living quarters for guests.

The ranch boasts excellent water rights, including ample shares in the Orchard Canal that runs through the center of the property, as well as two wells and multiple springs. The 110± irrigated acres are ideal for crops, with the additional 240± acres of land along the river and up in the hills offering ample grass for a livestock operation.

The estate borders a private state section for over one mile that has no public access and affords additional hunting for mule deer, sharp-tailed grouse, and Hungarian partridge. There are good populations of mule deer and upland birds on the upper ranch, with pheasants, whitetail deer, cranes, bears, and turkeys all along the river corridor. The property is situated in a prime Central Flyway waterfowl location, featuring low-lying fields that are ideal for flooding to create habitat and enhance hunting opportunities.

Located just over half an hour away from Billings or Red Lodge, Montana, with mountain views, productive farmland and grazing grounds, and abundant wildlife, this acreage has it all in the heart of south-central Montana!
