Milk River Valley Ranch

Situated north of the Milk River, where views stretch toward the horizon, and in the heart of the Milk River Valley are 1,519.36 deeded acres ripe with potential for agriculture, recreation, and investment. On land that is familiar to the echo of pounding buffalo hooves long ago throughout history, the Milk River Valley Ranch provides native and natural grasses ideal for grazing. With established perimeter fencing, cattle or horses can mosey along the gently rolling terrain while the occasional coulee protects white-tailed and mule deer or game birds. Mineral rights will be transferred. The ranch comprises two distinct parcels—the north and the south—each offering unique advantages for prospective buyers. The northern parcel includes stock water rights, enhancing its agricultural viability. In contrast, the southern parcel borders state land along its western edge, providing additional acreage for exploration and hunting. The Milk River Valley Ranch exemplifies the harmonious blend of agricultural and recreational living that defines the Montana experience.

Income Potential

Currently, the ranch is leased out during the summer grazing season, generating additional income. There are leases in place for the mineral rights, making approximately $257 per year.
