Just ten minutes south of Great Falls, Montana lies the Blackwater Ranch, a unique offering that encompasses 90.79± acres with frontage along Montana’s famous Missouri River. Combining productive agricultural ground and high-quality improvements, with outstanding recreational components, this ranch offers a special opportunity to own one of the larger riverfront properties in a desirable area on the fringe of Great Falls. While the setting is rural and grand, shopping, dining, healthcare, and other conveniences are just minutes away. The ranch has quality improvements that include a custom main residence that was built in 2018, a remodeled guest home, and multiple outbuildings that support a variety of agricultural and recreational uses. Productive hay fields, valuable Missouri River water rights, and a nearby, 314 acre, State grazing lease provide the resources to support livestock or hay production while maintaining the property's recreational appeal for hunting, fishing or horseback riding. Whether you're looking for a productive ranch, an equestrian property, or simply a place to enjoy Montana's outdoor lifestyle, Blackwater Ranch offers the rare combination of river frontage, agricultural productivity, with the convenience of close proximity to the urban amenities found in Great Falls.
The intent of regulations within the FOD is to maintain the open and rural residential and agricultural character of the area and facilitate development that is consistent and compatible with the existing pattern of growth.
