| Location:
The Snowy Mountain Foothills Ranch is located 9 miles
south of Lewistown with access to the property being
7 miles of paved road and 2 miles of county gravel
road. The intimate setting of this ranch is exquisite
and luxury of being within minutes of one of Montana's
most sought after communities is remarkable. Lewistown
has been recognized by national magazines and journals
as one of the best places in America to live, hunt,
and fish.
Lewistown
Area: Lewistown, with a steady population
of 6,500, is in the Center of Montana surrounded by
five area mountain ranges. Located to the north is
the Missouri River and Fort Peck recreation area noted
for all types of hunting and fishing recreation. Lewistown
is 130 miles from Billings and 105 miles from Great
Falls, both have service for major airlines. The local
airport also has commuter flights available from Lewistown
to Billings, provided by Gulf Stream Airlines.
Water:This
ranch is in a high moisture area resulting in lush
foliage and extensive water resources, including:
Hanson Creek, Middle Fork Creek, natural springs,
and seasonal creeks. Water Rights information is available
upon request.
Improvements:
The Montana Department of Revenue
records indicate the following improvements: Residence,
Shop, Garage, Pole Building, Lean To, and various
Sheds.
Big
Snowy Mountains:There are several
smaller mountain ranges in Central Montana with a
variety of recreation. The Big Snowy Mountains are
just south of Lewistown that include 106,776 acres
of Lewis and Clark National Forest. The most widely
used accesses are from the Red Hill Road, Cottonwood
Creek Road, and Crystal Lake Road. The area is designated
a federal wilderness study area. The result is almost
total solitude for anyone who travels the area exploring,
hiking, or hunting within minutes from Lewistown.
Wildlife
and Habitat: This ranch has a wide
variety of wildlife. The habitat is ideal for Mule
Deer, White-tail Deer, Turkey, Mountain Lion, Black
Bear, and migrating Elk and Moose. The meadow, brush,
aspen, and scattered timber provide a good home for
the animals. To create a higher wildlife population
a new owner could introduce 100 to 150 acres of small
grains per year into the crop rotation, this would
retain the migrating population and encourage longer
durations of time spent on the property.
Climate:
Fortunately, this property lies within
a climate zone that has 20 inches of precipitation
yearly and a 105 day growing season. Climate reports
indicate that this area receives about 60 inches of
snowy during the winter months. This property experiences
the best of all four seasons Montana has to offer.
