The Ashby Creek Ranch, Potomac, MT 59823

The 1,739-acre Ashby Creek ranch is rich with agricultural history and features a blend of agricultural production, wildlife habitat, and recreation opportunities, all of which are supported by an abundance of water and a diverse blend of ecosystems. The ranch plays an important role in the Blackfoot by contributing to the scenic beauty of the valley while providing connectivity for wildlife species between Morrison Peak and the Garnett Range. The acreage includes 775± acres of cropland, of which 340± acres are irrigated by three pivots and six wheel lines. Four small streams wind throughout the agriculture, eventually joining each other near the northern boundary, providing irrigation water and rearing ground for native cutthroat trout, as well as cold-water sources for the Blackfoot River and its famed fishery. Over a square mile of elevated timber flanks the lush bottoms of the center of the ranch, and adjacent State Lands create opportunity for additional recreation. Ashby Creek Ranch has many exemplary features, and lies only thirty minutes from Montana's most vibrant city, making this classic ranch stand out in today's land market.
