LOCATION AND LOCALE Rarely does an offering of this type hit the Bitterroot Valley market…nor will it stay available for long. This is the property Montana dreams are made of with year-round creek, adjacency to Forest Service, mountains, meadows, trees, privacy and views, all on a large, yet easily maintainable acreage. This 103+/- acre property lies at the mouth of Big Creek Canyon, the last privately owned parcel of land before entering the Bitterroot National Forest, and features the cascading, year-round Big Creek as the highlight. The property is centrally located in the Bitterroot Valley just 30 miles south of Missoula, home of the University of Montana, which offers an international airport and a multitude of medical and professional services. Hamilton, the Ravalli County seat, is less than 20 miles to the south providing many services and eclectic shopping experiences. The small town of Victor is just minutes away featuring a variety of the basics and inviting a sense of small-town spirit with annual community events taking place throughout the year.
ACREAGE AND GROUNDS Entry into this prime acreage is by way of a private road accessed from a county-maintained roadway. Traversing past just one other gorgeous residence, winding alongside an open meadow that backs up to an aspen clone and perfectly manicured tree-line as it ascends a timbered hillside, the road ends at this beautiful property facing the canyon. Affording views to the west of Big Creek Canyon within the Bitterroot Range and stunning views of the Sapphire Mountains and valley to the east, this property is an absolute Montana paradise. Predominately, the focal point is cascading Big Creek. Taking advantage of this setting are two cozy cottages perched over the creek bank, an old homestead building that provides character and function, and an area suited for running several head of horses. The property has good water rights utilizing Big Creek Lake shares and the mighty year-round creek as it flows through.

IMPROVEMENTS Two adorable, completely renovated cabins are perched on the upper bank of the creek. The first features approximately 1,136 square feet housing one bedroom and full bathroom, a lovely kitchen, dining/living area with wood-burning stove and a family room that could double as an office or guest room. A utility room with laundry facilities is also included. The second cabin offers approximately 888 square feet with two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchenette and a full sitting area situated around a rock fireplace. Both take in the drama of the rushing creek with spacious decks overlooking the water. Utilize either of these as is, or replace one with the home of your dreams. An 1897 homestead building on the property offers history and functionality, serving as equipment shed, toy and/or other storage facility…and is a definite conversation piece. A small barn/stable is conveniently located in the nearby corral/pasture area set against the hillside in the open meadow and completely ready to run a few head of horses. The fencing surrounding the home sites and entrance is nicely finished in both post & rail and jackleg style. Native resources such as boulders, shrubs, bushes and wildflowers have been incorporated with carefully selected landscaping materials to create lush grounds surrounding the buildings.

Numerous trailheads into the national forest provide unlimited horseback riding, snowmobiling and hiking options. Downhill skiing is available at three different ski areas within an hour’s drive.

Two reservoirs located in the southern portion of the Bitterroot Valley offer boating and water skiing opportunities. Experience the solitude offered by nature. On a daily basis one can view wildlife such as deer, elk, moose, turkeys and eagles from this private haven. All year long this is a paradise to enjoy Montana’s seasons…from the sights and smells of spring to a snow dusted winter wonderland. The Ranch Brokers | (307) 690-5425 | 170 S.
