Stevensville MT, Stevensville, MT 59870 - Ravalli County

With the oldest filed water right in Montana (dated 1852) which exists only in the Bitterroot Valley, White Feather Ranch has extremely productive hay ground. This 98+ acre ranch is located on the east side of the valley and is situated in the midst of approximately 7,000 acres of conservation easements. A focal point is the historic barn, one of the last still standing in this area and in great shape. This barn is 101 feet long and contains 14 box stalls, a feed room, and a heated room. A root cellar built in 1900 is also very useable. The cottonwood-lined North Bunt Fork Creek runs the entire east/west distance of the property on a year-round basis. There are three ponds that feed 6,000 feet of buried mainline used to irrigate the hayfields and pastures with three wheel lines, water guns, and hand lines. This property is currently used as an equestrian and sheep ranch but is suitable for other uses. There are multiple building sites all of which have sweeping views of the Bitterroot Mountains. It is located approximately four miles from Stevensville and three miles from the local Stevensville airport. This is the first time this ranch has been on the market in 34 years.
