161 Evan Campbell Rd, Choteau, MT 59422

If you are looking for large acreage accompanied by a spectacular setting with creeks and covered in water, this is it! Find approximately 6448 deeded acres, plus 366 of a state lease and 1038 of a private lease along the Rocky Mountain Front. This is a genuine, historic cowboy ranch that can support up to 450 pairs AND 500 yearlings. Whether you want to maintain it as a cattle ranch or pursue other endeavors, you will not be disappointed with the myriad of commercial and recreational opportunities. Even consider it for a secluded home or a retreat/compound. While the property pays homage to land conservation and stewardship, you have the opportunity to build within a generously sized envelope. Hay production is prolific with approx. 450 acres of sub-irrigated native hay producing 1.5 tons, per acre. Beyond the obvious agricultural advantages of this ranch is the extensive and direct access to wildlife to include elk, deer, bear, moose, mountain lion, upland birds, waterfowl, antelope, beaver, eagles and more. The fact the property abuts a public game range signals the abundance of wildlife and the coveted location for you to create a popular hunting destination, too. If equestrian pursuits are your goal, this would be the ideal spot with two barns, abundant grass and so many places to water them. Existing buildings already on the property are two modest, but charming dwellings (one was previously the old school converted to a house; the other is a newer cabin), a 50' X 150' 4-year-old barn with an attached 30' X 150' lean-to that is only 3 years old! Also, enjoy the original barn with timber frame construction, quonset shop, fuel tanks, kennels, several sheds, an open lean-to, active root cellar and storage buildings of assorted ages. Water is vital to ranching and this property has part of Gansmen Creek and Blackleaf Creek running through it, along with several ponds, springs, reservoirs and 47 water rights. You'll also be impressed by the 53 MILES of perimeter and interior fencing that are part of this sale. Not to be overlooked are the "bonus" features of this acreage. It is covered in old teepee rings and several vision quests and the seller has found historic relics, like arrowheads. Additionally, if paleontology appeals to you, start digging for dinosaurs. Seller has several places, on the property, where he has uncovered real dinosaur bones! INVEST IN ONE-OF-A-KIND PROPERTY AND IMAGINE YOUR BEST LIFE: running cattle, enjoying a beverage while gazing at the expansive views of the Rocky Mountain Front, hunting for wildlife, fishing in the creeks, riding horses, researching on-site Native American history, searching for dinosaur bones and all with close proximity to quaint, rural Montana towns. Seller may consider seller financing. Call Lynn Kenyon at 406-770-0013 or your real estate professional.
