Seclusion. Abundant Water. Private Hunting & Fishing. Historical Significance. The Nez Perce called this ancient trail “Qoq’aalx ‘Iskit!” meaning “Buffalo Road. ” Although Meriwether Lewis had the native spelling wrong in his journal, he did however translate it correctly as “Road to the Buffalo. ” The well-worn trail crossed the Continental Divide at a low pass and is still used today as a migratory path for diverse wildlife. This contiguous property totals 2775+/- deeded acres in Lewis and Clark County near Lincoln, MT. The opportunity to purchase this non easement holding that borders mostly National Forest and State ground is hard to find. This is a big game paradise! Species on the property include Elk, Mule Deer, Whitetail, Moose, Mountain Goat, Mountain Lion, Black Bear, Wolves, Waterfowl, and Trout. Additionally, this ranch is coupled with over 30 registered water right claims. It has been leased in the past for summer grazing from June through October with forage leftover.
Alice Creek Ranch is the headquarters of the Road to the Buffalo Ranch. It encompasses 2 main homes, a guest cabin, a horse barn, shop, outbuildings and corrals. The 2,392 +/- square foot executive home is a one level, 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom, log cabin that was built in 1998. This home has a newly renovated kitchen with updated appliances. The large windows in the living room offer spectacular views of the Alice Creek Basin bordered by timbered mountains and the Scapegoat Wilderness to the north. This basin is host to many big game and trophy trout that can be found in the spring fed pond that is only a short walk from the executive home. Even with these rustic views in a modern log home you are still able to connect to the world (that is, if you wish to do so) through fiber optic internet.
