21± acres

Broker Quote:

“This 21± acre property offers something very finite in the west. An angling experience where the fish are not fished hard and privacy abounds.”

INTRODUCTION

Nestled between the vibrant agricultural communities of Dillon and Twin Bridges, Montana, the 21± acre Beaverhead River Rock property enjoys an exceptional location. Surrounded by expansive ranches, it features remarkable build sites with panoramic views of Beaverhead Rock and sprawling mountain ranges in every direction. Elevated slightly above the Beaverhead River, which flows through the deeded acreage, the property offers an ideal riparian habitat for pheasants, waterfowl, and whitetail and presents low-pressure angling opportunities for large trout.

Finite are riverfront parcels that truly offer an owner an experience that would not be easily accessible otherwise. Many riverfront properties, such as those on larger rivers, require challenging wading or angling from a boat. Rare properties like this that offer wade-friendly private access and minimal pressures are hard-to-find treasures. OnWater Fish highlights the scarcity of public access points both upstream and downstream from the property, ensuring rare sightings of boats or fellow wade fishermen in your vicinity. While the “lower Beaverhead” may not have the same fish density as the “upper Beaverhead,” it provides an exciting opportunity for those who appreciate targeting large brown trout in the heart of Montana’s fly-fishing haven.

This 21± acre gem offers more than just inspiring views and world-class sporting opportunities at your doorstep. Short drives in any direction lead to some of Montana’s most renowned landscapes. Within 10± to 50± minutes, you can access the famed Big Hole, Madison, upper Beaverhead, Ruby, and Jefferson Rivers, with the Gallatin River just 90 minutes away. The property truly resides in the heart of Montana’s fly angling mecca.

AREA HISTORY

Gazing to the southwest, you’ll transport yourself to the historical moment of Meriwether Lewis and Sacagawea in 1805. Sacagawea, upon seeing Beaverhead Rock, knew she had found home. Lewis documented her description of the hill, referred to by her nation as the beaver’s head due to its resemblance to the animal’s figure. She confidently stated that her people could be found along this river or the one just west of its source, not far, given its current size.

RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FISHING

Most conversations about the renowned Beaverhead River typically focus on its upper stretch just below Clark Canyon Dam. While this area offers excellent fishing opportunities, it tends to attract crowds. However, as you venture downstream and north of Dillon, Montana, the river becomes much less congested, providing an extremely private angling experience.

While the first mile on the lower Beaverhead is less than the upper reaches of the river, the lower Beaverhead maintains a charming winding waterway with sizable brown and rainbow trout that simply do not get fished that hard. Due to upstream irrigation demands, the lower Beaverhead is slightly smaller than its upper counterpart, making it ideal for wade fishing. Like the lower Ruby River, this section of the Beaverhead is most productive during spring, early summer, and fall. Nymph and streamer fishing are particularly fruitful for large trout on this stretch. For dry fly enthusiasts, early summer brings vibrant hatches of pale morning duns, caddis, and yellow sallies, offering exciting opportunities for surface action.

In addition to the lower Beaverhead River frontage, this property is centrally located in what could be argued as the most abundant trout mecca in the lower 48 states. Within just 45 minutes, anglers can access renowned rivers like the Big Hole, Madison, Ruby, and Upper Beaverhead. Venture a bit further, and you’ll find yourself on the Gallatin, Yellowstone, or exploring the fisheries of Yellowstone National Park. And if that’s not enough, some of the finest private spring creek fishing in the country is just minutes away from the property.

WATER RIGHTS

Montana waters, in all their varied forms and locations, belong to the state for the benefit of its people. A water right is the right to use the water within state-established guidelines, and not any ownership of the water itself. Since water rights in Montana are guided by the prior appropriation doctrine, a person’s right to use a specific quantity of water depends on when the use of water began, establishing the relative priority date of use on the water source. The first person to use water from a source established the first right, the second person could establish a right to the water that was left, and so on. Additionally, water users are limited to the amount of water that can be beneficially used. Beneficial use includes, but is not limited to, agricultural, recreational, fish and wildlife and domestic purposes.

Montana is currently conducting a statewide adjudication of all water rights with priority dates prior to July 1, 1973. The statewide adjudication is a court process that prioritizes and quantifies all existing water rights in each Montana drainage

basin. With eighty-five basins in Montana, and over 219,000 water right claims, the statewide adjudication is a massive undertaking that is expected to stretch well into the future. Until the adjudication process is complete, the status of any particular water right claim cannot be guaranteed. Fay Ranches, Inc., its brokers and salespersons do not warrant or make any representation concerning the quantity or quality of any water rights, nor any legal entitlement to use of water rights, permits to appropriate water, exempt existing rights, determination of existing water rights, nor any ditches, ditch rights, or ditch easements appurtenant to or constituting a burden on the property. Water rights claims appurtenant to the property may or may not have been fully or finally adjudicated, and any Buyer is advised to make any offer to purchase contingent upon and subject to such independent inspections, evaluations, and advice concerning the water rights and adjudication process as a Buyer might deem prudent. All Buyers should be aware that Fay Ranches, Inc., its brokers and salespersons involved in this offering have not conducted an expert inspection or analysis of the water rights for this property. 21 Beaverhead

3. DUAL AGENCY If a seller agent is also representing a buyer, or a buyer agent is also representing a seller with regard to a property, then a dual agency relationship may be established. In a dual agency relationship, the dual agent is equally obligated to both the seller and the buyer. These obligations may prohibit the dual agent from advocating exclusively on behalf of the seller or buyer and may limit the depth and degree of representation that you receive. A broker or a salesperson may not act as a dual agent without the signed, written consent of both the seller and the buyer.

A “Dual Agent” is obligated to a Seller in the same manner as a seller agent and is obligated to a Buyer in the same manner as a buyer agent, except a dual agent:

4. STATUTORY BROKER

A “Statutory Broker” is not the agent of the Buyer or Seller but nevertheless is obligated to them to:

Disclose to: i. a buyer or buyer agent any adverse material facts that concern the property and that are known to the statutory broker, except that the statutory broker is not required to inspect the property or verify any statements made by the seller; and ii. a seller or a seller agent any adverse material facts that are known to the statutory broker and that concern the ability of the buyer to perform on any purchase offer; Exercise reasonable care, skill, and diligence in putting together a real estate transaction, and Comply with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations.
