Description

Tract 1

An agricultural tract with proven yields rarely hits the open market in this area of Montana. This 269+/- acre farm is situated in Montana’s renowned “Golden Triangle”, an area known for flowing fields of grain and amazing views of the Rocky Mountain Front. If cackling upland game birds, whitetail deer, and amazing fishing is up your alley, then a closer look would be advisable. This area is a hidden gem, conveniently located within about an hour’s drive from Great Falls and its international airport.

The agriculture in the area consists of winter/spring wheat, barley, canola, and hemp. With the water shares that convey with the purchase and topography of the farm, it is set up perfectly for flood irrigation, dryland farming, and highly productive pasture production. As the seller explains, wheat yields of 85+ bushel per acre are not uncommon on the irrigated portion. 15 water rights, as well as historical wastewater from the Pondera Canal and Reservoir Company, has been used to irrigate this fertile land. At approximately 4 acres in size, the properties’ reservoir is gorgeous and is filled by using the shared water right with the adjacent home.

NOTE: The home (tract 2) will retain 5 water shares, and the farm and reservoir (tract 1) will retain 15 water shares.
