North Mountain Ranch

Along the historic route of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, where the Beaverhead Mountains rise above the confluence of Fourth of July and Little Fourth of July Creek, this 58.5± acre holding offers a rare combination of water, infrastructure, access, and long-term flexibility. The creek flows just 12± feet from the 3,180± square foot ranch-style home before feeding a fully stocked private pond known to produce 10-pound rainbow trout. Directly beyond the irrigated pastures lie more than 375,000 acres of National Forest, providing immediate access to premier big game habitat. Year-round paved access ensures reliable usability in every season.

Built in 2006, the four-bedroom, three-bath residence is designed for practical multigenerational living, featuring two primary suites and an open, functional layout. The kitchen includes a raised bar top, generous storage, and a south-facing breakfast nook that draws in consistent natural light. A walk-out south-facing porch along the creek extends the living space outdoors, well-suited for dining, gathering, and evenings beside the water.

The improvements are substantial and deliberate. A heated nine-stall barn with automatic waterers currently operates as professional-grade dog kennels and previously supported an award-winning equestrian breeding program. The 40’ x 70’ heated shop includes a finished office and a dedicated meat processing room. A 30’ x 60’ hay and equipment building stores RVs, boats, and machinery. A professionally engineered underground survival shelter with integrated air filtration adds long-term resiliency. Solar-tracking panels, a central boiler for heat, and a 12.5kW Kubota marine diesel generator provide a self-sufficient infrastructure with turnkey off-grid capability.

Seven legally titled parcels offer meaningful generational flexibility, and an elevated homesite above the current residence presents a striking vantage point for future construction.

Resident elk frequent the property year-round, with the opportunity to harvest mule deer, whitetail, and elk directly from your own ground.
