Broker's Comments
FIRST TIME ON MARKET
THE BIG 5: It is an honor to be presenting this beautiful and well-maintained ranch to buyers seeking property offering all 5 of the most valuable investment land features - trees, meadow, view, creek, forest service.
Montana’s Bitterroot Valley is the most scenic valley in Montana with the fewest residents and most public land. What makes the area special is that it is a non-place - more fish, less people - country stores instead of box shops, small ski hill instead of mountain resorts. Just regular folks going about living and small-town activities to enjoy mountain living to its fullest.
