Big Hole Sporting Reserve is located just 7± miles southwest of the small town of Twin Bridges, one of the most classic trout towns in Montana. Prairie meadow, native rangeland, large deciduous trees and lush river bottom form the 74± acres. Over one-third of a mile of the Big Hole River traverses the northern boundary of the ranch with an additional quarter-mile of the spring-influenced Big Hole Ditch (also known as the Owsley Slough) running alongside the residence providing 2 excellent fishable options. The property is accessed via paved Montana Highway 41 and then 2± miles of graveled County Road known as Pennington Road. Pennington Road, which crosses over the river, provides a boat launch not far from the property and continues beyond the property to Glen, near Interstate 15. A beautifully placed private home is situated next to the pond and along the Big Hole Ditch and a large barn with guest quarters above the barn complete this recreational retreat.
This 74 acre property will steal your heart with its magnificent setting along the Big Hole River. Complete with timber frame 4200+ shop with 2 bedroom 1 bath apartment on the upper level & 3 BR, 2 bath 1635+/- SF home that will delight the most discriminating buyer. There is almost a half mile of Big Hole River frontage which is riverbank accessible and bisected by the Big Hole Ditch known for its suburb trout waters. Productive hay meadows and a delightful spring and groundwater fed pond to gaze over from your front porch. Whitetail deer and moose for the wildlife enthusiast and ducks, geese, and wild turkeys also compliment the acreage for the wing shooter. The existing improvements are a wonderful compliment for either seasonal or full time residents but owner has also had a septic approved for another home nestled in the trees closer to the river. The property abuts a parcel of state land only accessible by boat so you have another semi private hunting and fishing preserve.
