Anyone with horses will tell you: there are properties that allow horses, and then there are HORSE PROPERTIES and they are very different. This one is the real deal. Plus, located only 20 minutes from Great Falls, its also a fast and EASY COMMUTE! The 20.85 ACRE parcel is fenced/cross fenced into 3 pastures making it simple to rotate grazing. LIVE WATER runs year round through the middle of this property and WATER RIGHTS convey. There is plenty of space to safely train in the sand of the large 60ft ROUND PEN. When they are ready, turn them loose on steers or barrels in your own 250x150 ARENA with 5 FLOODLIGHTS to keep you going even after it gets dark. The south half of the 2800sf SHOP is heated and features a concrete floor with drains, a 12ft automatic overhead door, work benches, and a storage loft. The north half of this building is not heated and is the BARN area with a combo of concrete and dirt flooring, stalls, TACK ROOM, and hay storage above. See addtnl remarks. .. . There are 3 small wood pens and 2 large wood pens to separate stock, if needed. The single level home is a spacious open concept with vaulted ceilings and large windows for plenty of natural light! Recent updates have been completed on the home as well including: a new wood stove in 2020, a metal roof and oven/range in 2022, new refrigerator and windows in 2023, and a new dishwasher in 2024.
