NORTH FORK OF THE SMITH RIVER 80

Welcome to a rare opportunity to own a pristine 80-acre irrigated farm and ranch nestled along the tranquil North Fork of the Smith River. This property offers an ideal blend of productive agricultural land, natural beauty, and comfortable country livingperfect for ranching, recreation, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of Montanas wide-open spaces. With over half a mile on both sides of the North Fork of the Smith River, there is excellent private small stream fishing for feisty rainbow and brown trout. Located a little over two miles from the community and services of White Sulphur Springs, within 30 minutes of Showdown Ski Area, and just over an hour from the vibrant communities of Bozeman and Livingston, the gateways to Yellowstone National Park. This productive flood-irrigated pasture has been well-maintained throughout its history. Initially used for hay production, it has more recently been leased to a neighbor for seasonal grazing. The property offers excellent potential for various agricultural uses. The land is mostly level, but the water flows from east to west in the irrigation ditches and flood-irrigated fields. The well-established grass base produces strong yields and could easily return to active hay production under new ownership. Reliable water rights and well-managed irrigation ditches provide a consistent water supply for maintaining high productivity. The property offers multiple income opportunities. You can use it for your own livestock, continue leasing the grazing rights, or harvest and sell hay crops. With the addition of corrals or working pens, it would work well for a small cattle or horse operation with on-site feed production. The local demand for leased pasture is strong, making it easy to generate income while letting tenants handle the day-to-day agricultural work. If desired, this setup allows you to benefit from the lands productivity without managing the operation.
