Private Reservoir Fishing: A man-made reservoir sits entirely within the ranch boundaries and is stocked with tiger trout and largemouth bass. This private water provides reliable fishing year-round with limited pressure-ideal for anglers looking for a quiet, controlled environment to fish with family, friends, or clients.

Marias River Frontage: The Marias River winds through the ranch, offering direct access to one of north-central Montana's hidden fisheries. Known for walleye and channel catfish, this stretch of river also attracts waterfowl in the fall. Whether you're casting a line or setting up for a morning duck hunt, the river is a productive and scenic feature with year-round recreational value.

Big Game & Upland Hunting: Whitetail and mule deer are consistent in the river bottoms and surrounding fields, with good age class and solid opportunity each season. The ranch also lies in an area known for producing trophy pronghorn antelope, which roam the open prairie and hayfields.

The diverse terrain-cottonwood bottoms, cropland, native grasses, and brushy draws-also supports upland birds, wild turkeys, and a variety of migratory ducks and geese. Ample water, food, and cover hold game throughout the year and provide quality setups for both big game and bird hunting.

Lease-Back Option with Full Recreation Access: The seller is open to leasing the ranch back for continued cattle operations. This gives a buyer passive income potential while still retaining full hunting, fishing, and recreational access across the entire property-ideal for an investor, rancher, or sportsman who wants to own land without running day-to-day operations.

Operational Cattle Ranch: The ranch is currently being ran as a large cattle operation. Cross-fenced pastures, developed water sources, and functional infrastructure-including corrals, access roads, and water tanks-are in place to keep the operation efficient and workable.

Hay Production: There are several areas where hay could be replanted and harvested to support in revenue stream or in cattle production, helping ensure reliable yields year after year. The ground is productive, with flat fields and easy access for equipment. Located
