Description of the Country Home
|
In the heart of the Gallatin Valley, just 30 minutes west of Bozeman Montana on the famed Madison River valley lies 540 Acres of Montana. This Property boasts its own spring creek, which rises entirely within boundaries and meanders over a mile across this gorgeous property. Spring fed and constant flow keeps this creek open year round, making it an ideal waterfowl wintering and brooding area. Brown and Brook Trout spawn and reside here as well. This creek has been restored and enhanced to provide excellent trout habitat and maintains a large trout population, with tremendous sized brown and brook trout being taken.
Lying just to the west of this property on public land with complete access is not only the famed Madison River—a blue ribbon fishery—but also the Darlington Spring Creek. Both provide year round fishing and sporting recreational opportunities. Pheasant, Hungarian Partridge, Geese, Ducks and White Tail area just a few of the many wildlife present in this gorgeous river bottom.
Perhaps one of the key amenities is the Historic 1898 2 story ranch house that still remains on this property. Completely restored and modernized in 2000 put this home on a new foundation, added central heating and air conditioning, updated insulation, plumbing and electrical wiring along with a new and modern kitchen has made this virtually a new home, Yet maintained the 10 foot ceiling and quaint farming home features of the early 1900’s.
Much of the original wood flooring and trim has been restored and refinished. 3 Bedrooms and 2 baths make up the upstairs, while down stairs is the large modern Kitchen with eating area, a dinning room, living room, family room, mud room and full bathroom.
Outside two raised flagstone patios allows one to sit and enjoy the view of the spring creek, horses grazing in the pasture and river bluffs from which this ranches name arises. A fully landscaped and irrigated yard further sets the scene of relaxation on this ranch.
2 Barns, a Tack building, grain bin and corrals along with a 300’x 160’ outdoor riding arena adds to the amenities of this ranch. Sub irrigated pastures plus water rights from the spring creek as well as the Darlington Ditch/Madison River help keep this ranch green long into the summer. Historic stocking rates on this ranch have been 60-70 AU’s.
The Madison Cliffs Ranch lies in the School and mailing district of Three Forks. A small rural town of 2000 people. The School consists of K-12 grade with approximately 550 students in the entire school system. The School mascot is the “Wolves” and provides students sporting activities in Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Track and Golf.
Three Forks has its own public golf course, and due to the milder weather of the Madison Valley, golfing is nearly year round. In addition, 4 restaurants, 3 lodgings, including the historic Sacajawea Inn, shopping, bars, fuel, even a small airstrip can all be found in Three Forks. Also within eyeshot of Three Forks are the Jefferson River, the Gallatin River, as well as the Madison River. All three of these join together just north of Three Forks to form the Missouri River, which winds its way to join the Mississippi some 2500 miles later.
