Located nearly adjacent to the bedroom community of Frenchtown, the Clark Fork River Ranch is a rare opportunity to own a sizable, river influenced holding near one of Montana's largest population centers. This stunning +/- 160 acre mix of meadow and forest comes complete with a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home, shop, calving barn, equipment and hay storage. Ideally set up for livestock, the ranch is fenced, cross-fenced and well-watered with both sloughs and ditches traversing the property. The Clark Fork River and a seasonal channel cut through the ranch's southwestern corner providing riparian ambiance and significant recreational amenities.

Operationally, the property is currently being leased to a local rancher for summer grazing. Frenchtown, an unincorporated town of roughly 2000 is minutes from the ranch with Missoula and its robust suite of amenities and services, is another 15 minutes to the east. A riparian oasis, the Clark Fork River Ranch offers an accessible and affordable respite with production potential and exceptional recreational amenities, minutes from Missoula.
