Bearcreek Lane, Belfry, MT 59008 - Carbon County

This ranch has been in the same family for just about 100 years! The original buildings where the family raised their children and the children raised their children are still on the property. The corrals are still functional and in use. The 200 inch of water rights date back to 1893 and 1897 and come directly from the Clark's Fork (of the Yellowstone) River. Even though the land follows the river for a mile, it is NOT in a flood plane. The mostly level tract includes four 20 acres parcels with a 73 acres remainder. The irrigation is via ditch and gated pipe. The homestead has been used for ranching only and is still fully fenced.

On the other side of the river are the hills of BLM land (Bureau of Land Management), so privacy is assured. There are nice homes in the area, good access via county road and private easement.

Electric is on the property, there is cell phone service and stunning mountain views. There are trees along the river and willows along the west side of the properties.

Presently inhabited by geese, ducks, grouse, deer, antelope and cattle. The fish are calling from the river!

Report from the Dept of Fish and Wildlife on the Clark's Fork

The river runs at a pretty good clip through Belfry and gets sluggish farther north around Bridger, where it also gets muddy. The fishing around Belfry is pretty good from what I saw. Maybe you should come out and try-fish :-) Here is an elevation map, the river drops 3,000 feet over 35 miles to Belfry:
