Located at the gateway to the Bob Marshall Wilderness, the Blackfoot River Retreat is a premier fishing property comprised of 85 well-maintained acres and is currently the only property available on the Blackfoot River. The retreat is situated within a diverse ecosystem highlighted by plentiful stands of mature trees, vibrant pasture, lush river bottom, and a private swimming pond. Through this well-balanced landscape runs the storied upper Blackfoot, the very body of water that inspired Norman Macleans classic narrative, A River Runs Through It.

The turn-key three-bedroom, two-bathroom log cabin was built with the river as a visual centerpiece; large windows and doors open to the sights and sounds of the river. Adjacent to the log cabin and built above a two-car garage are guest quarters perfect for visiting friends and family. An additional two-vehicle log garage provides space for ranch implements and other toys. A haven for wildlife, Blackfoot River Retreat is a desirable elk and deer archery hunting property as well. Deeded acreage on both sides of the river and nearly 1,500 feet of river frontage offers privacy and excellent dry-fly fishing for native west slope cutthroat trout. River features on the property include excellent fishing and swimming holes and access to miles of wilderness wade-fishing, both upstream and down.

Rarely, if ever, does a single property feature so many desirables: picturesque end-of-the-road privacy amongst the wildlife, excellent recreational opportunities, productive pasture with old-priority water rights, and a location in a historic Montana valley.

In the heart of Montanas Blackfoot Valley, Ashby Creek Ranch encompasses 1,739 acres and represents the most extensive available land offering proximate to the Missoula area today. The ranch is rich with agricultural history and features a distinctive blend of agricultural production, wildlife habitat, and recreation opportunities, all of which are supported by an abundance of water and the diversity of ecosystems found throughout its acreage.

The ranch plays an important role in the Potomac area of the Blackfoot by contributing to the scenic beauty of the valley while providing, due to its contiguous nature, connectivity for wildlife species between Morrison Peak to the north and the Garnett Range to the south. Additionally, the streams provide rearing ground for native cutthroat trout and cold-water sources for the Blackfoot River and its famed fishery.

The makeup of acreage includes 775 acres of cropland, of which 340 acres are irrigated by three pivots and six wheel lines. Numerous riparian corridors feed water to sub-irrigated areas. Four small streams wind throughout the agriculture, eventually joining each other near the northern boundary, before exiting the ranch as the water drains toward the Blackfoot River. Over a square mile of elevated timber flanks the lush bottoms of the center of the ranch. These timbered areas provide bedding cover for deer and elk and amplify the magnificent views of the winding streams below and distant snow-capped peaks. The ranch borders over 40,000 acres of State Land to the south, creating additional recreational opportunities.

There are many exemplary features to this classic ranch, which lies within thirty minutes of Montanas most vibrant city, making Ashby Creek Ranch stand out in todays land market.

While Ashby Creek can be its own standalone operation, when combined with Montana Little Valley Ranch, they are mutually beneficial, with Ashby Creek Ranch serving as a hay base proximate to the vibrant city of Missoula and Little Valley providing extensive mountain and meadow grazing combined with unmatched wilderness recreation. The Eve Ranches listing shows both ranches as one.
