Remarks: Under Contract Back Up Offers - Your Affordable Montana Dream Ranch just came on the market! Welcome to 37663 Hawkins Road in St. Ignatius, Montana. This 39.90 acre parcel & farmhouse has the majestic Mission Mountain Range as its backdrop. It is truly stunning! Located a few minutes off Highway 93, just north of St. Ignatius and 50 minutes from Missoula, this family ranch is everything you have been dreaming about. The property is on level, highly usable, ag land and was originally part of a large Mission Valley Ranch. For many years it has been a special home for the Maynard family. Enter the home and imagine cold Montana evenings gathered around a large farm-style kitchen table with friends and family while Mom is busy preparing the evening meal. The large eat-in-kitchen off the family room creates a wonderful open space just right for these type of gatherings. Light streams in through over-sized windows. Down the hall are two large bedrooms and one bath. While the master bedroom does not currently have a bathroom attached, there is space to add a master bathroom. The lower level is 1334 square feet of space waiting for your creativity. Featuring a true walkout basement with large windowed double doors that lead to the large yard, this home was built with expansion in mind. Both the upstairs and the downstairs of the home are each 1334 square feet for a total possible living space of over 2600 square feet. An additional basement bathroom is a possibility. The finished downstairs bonus room could easily become a legal 3rd bedroom with the addition of an egress window. The entire home is heated by an energy efficient pellet stove for most of the heating season and, when it gets Montana winter cold, an additional oil furnace helps keep the home toasty. This home on Hawkins Road has been meticulously maintained. The exterior has just received a top of the line paint job, a new multi-dimensional roof and new Hardiplank soffits and custom gutters. The driveway has recently been paved, leading to a large parking pad for all your guests, a basketball court or RV parking. Clean, neat and well-maintained, this rancher style home should prove trouble-free for many years to come. Lovely deciduous trees fill the yard and provide shade to the large family-friendly yard that surrounds the home. The property is well-watered with Secretarial Water Rights giving the owner of this acreage strong water rights. A gated irrigation system flood-irrigates the property, keeping it green through the growing season. The year-round creek, located on the south side of the home is a highlight of this unique Montana style ranch. The 39.9 acre ranch is perfect for horses or cattle and yearly produces an abundance of Timothy and Orchard grass hay. The grazing grounds on the property are currently leased to a neighbor on a month to month for $2,000/year, with the possibility of continuing. The land is fenced and cross-fenced and the fencing on the property has recently been upgraded. A great Montana barn sits just behind the house.

There are large lean-tos off each side of the barn providing a workshop and protection from the elements. Are you a gentleman rancher?
