This is Montana as it was meant to be...Just north of Wilsall with the Crazy Mountains front and center, Meadow Creek 320 Ranch is 320+/- acres of the real thing: grazing pasture cross-fenced for cattle and horses, senior water rights and views that stop conversation. A gated two-track leads to an authentic 2,700+/- sf cabin with three beds, two baths and an office, anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and a timber-frame loft. Shields River Road is paved and county-maintained, so access is easy in every season - an hour to Bozeman through Bridger Canyon and 45 minutes to Livingston down Shields Valley. No covenants, No Zoning. It all starts with the water. Meadow Creek is put to work across the ranch through the historic Becker Ditch. Six active DNRC water rights are tied to the property, headlined by a senior Meadow Creek irrigation right with a May 10, 1890 priority date- backed by an 1898 Meadow Creek right, two 1907 spring rights for irrigation and stock, a 1973 Meadow Creek right and a domestic well @ 25 gpm. Seller's interest in the water rights conveys. In Montana, first in time is first in right. Elk move through this ground in numbers, with moose, deer, and antelope as regular company. Huns, sharptails, and turkeys hold in the cover, sandhill cranes feed in the meadow, and hawks and eagles ride the thermals over the creek bottom, all of it beneath the Crazy Mountains rising to the east. Beyond the fence line, the Shields River is minutes away, and blue-ribbon water on the Yellowstone lies a scenic half hour down the valley to Livingston, with National Forest trailheads into the Crazies, the Bridgers and Bangtails to the west, and the Absarokas to the south. Ranches like this are rarely sold - they're handed down through generations. Property and water rights information deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Buyer to verify all acreage, boundaries and water rights with DNRC and qualified counsel. *Interior photos are virtually staged*
