Melstone, MT 59054 - Musselshell County

The 11,920+/- acre Orchard Coulee Ranch lies immediately north of the State Highway 12, approximately 65 miles east of Forsyth. It consists primarily of native range with coulees rising from over a mile of frontage on the Musselshell River. There are 75 acres of irrigated hay and 600 acres of dryland hay. The simple but well-done improvements are easily accessed year-round and are situated nicely on the river. This area is very good grass country and is well-watered by wells, dams, springs, and the river. The ranch boasts lots of wildlife from trophy quality deer to antelope, pheasant, and upland birds. Orchard Coulee is a quality standalone ranch rated at 500 AUs but the opportunity for expansion is available with the adjacent Keggy Coulee Ranch being offered for sale exclusively by Hall and Hall. The Keggy Coulee Ranch has over 8 miles of common boundary and, combining the two would allow one to carry approximately 1,000 cows and 150 replacement heifers.
