AREA HISTORY 8 Barnes Creek Ranch | Hall, Montana
The region offers residents incredible fishing, hunting, hiking, water sports, and snow skiing. The Flint Creek Mountains and Pintler Wilderness provide an awe-inspiring backdrop for the small ranching communities situated along Scenic Route 1 and feature abundant mountain lakes and craggy snowcapped peaks that beckon to the adventurer in all of us.
Settlers flocked to the Flint Creek Valley in the 1800s in search of precious metals. They discovered a lush valley with plentiful grass and water, abundant wildlife, and the lifestyle of the Great American West. Ranchers enjoyed the fertile black soil and the grassy slopes, and much of the valley remains in agriculture today, valued for many years of excellent production history. Today the valley celebrates its deep roots in mining and ranching, but new residents have discovered the recreational attributes that the valley has to offer. The small town of Philipsburg has flourished and offers a blend of its history combined with eateries, a brewery, shops, and museums.

The ranch consists of a variety of irrigation systems, including pivot, wheel-line, and flood irrigation. Several fields were newly seeded in 2021, and with the extensive irrigation in place, the ranch presents a unique opportunity with excellent production history. The current tenant puts up hay on the ranch while utilizing a rotational grazing practice with some cattle that reside on the ranch year-round. An investment-minded owner may appreciate extending the existing relationship into the future and leasing the ranch as a source of income. A production-minded buyer may appreciate the opportunity to raise livestock and sell surplus hay produced on the ranch. The existing lease expires in 2024.
