Property Listing 
Bitterroot River Oasis - Fly In; Fish & Ride Bitterroot Valley, MT  
Anglers and equestrian lovers will delight in this immaculately manicured 26+/- acre horse and fishing property on the banks of the Bitterroot River as it traverses 20 miles south of Missoula. In four parcels, the holding features two beautifully maintained homes, guest bunkhouse, perfectly groomed barns, corrals & outbuildings, irrigated agricultural land and over 1,200 ft. of river frontage. And, with landing strip potential it could easily be conceivable to fly in for long weekends on your private plane and be fishing or astride a horse within minutes! The beautiful log sided primary residence is positioned immediately alongside the river. The master bedroom suite, living and dining areas and lovely kitchen (plus full guest bathroom) are situated on the main level in a concept of open-style design. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms occupy the lower level. This home was completed with entertaining in mind; not only from the high guest occupancy it can support and the lodge atmosphere prospective, but also from the added touch of a screened in sun porch complete with Viking hood over a True outdoor grill with two-burner stove top and True bar keg/refrigerator. This al fresco vantage point is perched to overlook the river as it winds through the grounds. Every window in the home beholds a vision of beauty; from the kitchen can be seen the paddocks looking north, the Bitterroot mountains looking west, the Bitterroot River to the east and the Sapphire range to the southeast…giving literal meaning to the term 360-degree views. Further enhancing the capacity for guest stays, a serviceable bunkhouse matching the primary home is located just beyond the home for close access, and a lovely second home of about 1850+/- square feet lies just upstream makes for a perfect caretaker’s quarters or a wonderful guest house. All of this living space, coupled with a river setting and complete equestrian facility, combine to provide for excellent potential for a recreational lodge – private or commercial. The current owners have chosen to utilize the property as a successful Appaloosa horse breeding, raising and training operation. They pride themselves in being able to produce their own alfalfa and grass hay on the property’s rich agricultural pastures kept productive through a sophisticated water/irrigation system. The barn, equipment shed, storage & outbuildings and corrals provide an amazing network of equestrian opportunities for a novice or the experienced horseman. All are maintained to an impeccable standard of cleanliness and visual appeal. Absolutely immaculate! The grounds comprising this property are manicured with precision enhancing what nature has graced this property with. Nestled between the Bitterroot and Sapphire mountain ranges this gorgeous riverbank setting is truly phenomenal. Wildlife flourishes. Besides the recreational opportunities taking place on and from the ranch, the Bitterroot Valley is notorious for incredible outdoor options like hiking, snowmobile and ATV exploration, cross country and downhill skiing and is home to many unique shopping and dining experiences. Missoula, the largest city in Western Montana, is only 20 miles to the north providing easy access to an international airport, excellent medical and professional services and sporting and performing arts associated with the University of Montana. Being marketed independently or available with this holding are an adjacent three parcels of irrigated meadows approximately 5 acres each. Packaged with this property the alternatives for additional hay production, or even development, are great. Please contact The Iten Company with your interest in obtaining complete details.
