Description of the Country Home
|
LOCATION: This unique property is located thirteen and a half (13) miles west of Pendroy, Montana and approximately thirty-five 35 miles northwest of Choteau, Montana. Great Falls is one hundred (100) miles to the southeast of the property and home to an International Airport.
Situated on the majestic Rocky Mountain Front where Montanas simply refer to this part of the state as The Front. The northern boundary of the Eastern Front begins at the south end of Glacier Park and stretches south for 110 miles to the Dearborn River. The Front is a grand sweep of jagged limestone peaks, walls, reefs and deeply cut canyons.
The front itself is a diverse wilderness range with an intrinsic value of unequaled wildness, but much of its mystique comes from what lies on either side. The western horizon is filled by the 2.5 million acres of the Bob Marshall and Great Bear Wilderness, of which The Front is an integral part. Immediately east of the Front stretches a virtually undeveloped expanse of foothills and prairie in private, State and Bureau of Land Management ownership. This makes Montanas share of the Rocky Mountain Front the last, largest unspoiled meeting of mountains and plains between Canada and Mexico.
The Bob Marshall Wilderness is considered the nations premier wilderness area. Designated the nations first wilderness area, it contains 1 million acres. Later, Congress added the Scapegoat and Great Bear Wilderness area, totaling 1.5 million-acre complex.
LOCALE: The small town of Choteau is approximately 35 miles to the southeast. Choteau is the county seat of Teton County and has a population of 1700 people. The town was named after Pierre Choteau, President of the American Fur Company, who brought the first steamboat up the Missouri. Choteau is small ranching community and offers most services one would expect of a town this size.
Many years ago the area around Choteau was used by dinosaurs as a breeding ground. Egg Mountain is 12 miles to the west of Choteau. It is the site that has yielded more information about dinosaur biology during the Cretaceous period than any other paleontology digs in the world.
CONSERVATION: Situated along the east slope of the Rocky Mountain Front and outside of the National Forest Service boundary are several different conservation organizations that have acquired large blocks of land to preserve the land, culture, wildlife and rare plants. West of Choteau is the Nature Conservancys 18,000 acre Pine Butte Swamp Preserve.
The State of Montana has three large blocks of state land along The Front used for Wildlife Management Areas to provide refuges for thousands of elk and deer to winter on and for public use and recreation. They are as follows:
Sun River Game Range 20,000 acres
Blackleaf Game Range 10,000 acres
Ear Mountain Wildlife Management Area 3,000 acres
The Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch founded by the Boone and Crockett Club owns a 6000 acre ranch starting 2 miles west of the subject property that blocks up with the Lewis and Clark National Forest Service boundary. The mission of the ranch is research, teaching, and demonstration of integrated livestock/wildlife conservation that is integral
to the economic viability of private and adjacent public lands. The ranch is enrolled in Montanas Block Management Program to offer public hunting opportunities.
