Turn-Key Irrigated Montana Ranchette

For those ready to leave the pace of the city behind and step into a life shaped by land, water, and wide-open skies, this irrigated Vaughn ranchette offers a compelling opportunity. Set on 80 deeded acres in the heart of Montana’s agricultural country, this property offers up a working ranch functionality with the efficiency of a fully remodeled home—all within easy reach of Great Falls.

The land is the foundation here. Equipped with new GPS-guided center pivot irrigation systems, the property delivers precision water application, lower labor demands, and consistent forage production. In a region defined by long summer daylight, fertile soils, and a climate well-suited for hay and pasture, reliable irrigation significantly enhances both productivity and long-term value. The ground is currently leased for cattle, demonstrating its proven capacity to support livestock while offering immediate income potential for a new owner.

Supporting the operation is an impressive lineup of outbuildings and ranch infrastructure. A 40’ x 40’ Quonset, 36’ x 50’ shop, horse barn, chicken coop, greenhouse, fuel stands with tanks, and multiple storage buildings provide ample space for equipment, livestock care, feed, and projects of every scale. Whether your vision includes expanding a cattle operation, establishing a hobby farm, or simply enjoying the freedom of rural living, these improvements add tangible, hard-to-replace value.

At the center of the property sits a home that has been completely reimagined inside, offering modern systems, elevated finishes, and timeless character. The custom kitchen features new, top-of-the-line appliances, butcher block countertops, and sleek cabinetry—designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A long list of upgrades includes a new reverse osmosis water system, new furnace and air conditioning, on-demand hot water heater, new flooring throughout, and a new well pump and controls. Original details add warmth and character, including a refinished wood staircase, wood and pellet stoves, and a whitewashed brick fireplace.

Beyond the property lines, the Vaughn area offers exceptional outdoor recreation and lifestyle appeal. The nearby Sun River and Missouri River provide outstanding fishing and floating opportunities, while wildlife areas, open landscapes, and Montana’s renowned hunting districts surround the region. Just minutes away, Great Falls offers healthcare, shopping, dining, cultural attractions, and a commercial airport with direct flights to major hubs—making this location as convenient as it is peaceful.

This property is a place where the land works, the home comforts, and the lifestyle delivers exactly what so many are searching for.
