Description
Jefferson Springs Ranch is the epitome of a Montana riverfront ranch, boasting hundreds of acres of lush, wildlife-rich riparian bottomland, productive ranchland, recreational amenities, and outstanding views of the Bridger, Madison, and Tobacco Root mountains. The 650± acre property is nestled alongside approximately 1.6± miles of the Jefferson River, a few miles south of Three Forks, under 30 minutes from the Bozeman airport, and approximately 40 minutes from downtown Bozeman, Montana.
Perhaps the most unique aspect of the ranch is the lush, spring-laden bottomland along the Jefferson River. Here, springs, wetland complexes, and remnant river sloughs intertwine among hundred-year-old cottonwoods. The wildlife is prolific. A wide variety of waterfowl, including ducks (mallards, widgeon, blue winged teal, cinnamon teal), Canada geese, and tundra swans, as well as geese, turkey, pheasant, eagles, sandhill cranes, and songbirds, are perpetually present. Big game, including whitetail deer, moose, and occasionally elk also call the ranch home.
The ranch is being offered in “turnkey” condition. A charming farmhouse provides 3,056± square feet of living space, including five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and two living rooms. The current owner has identified and secured permits for septic systems at two additional premier homesites, tucked against the private, wooded bottomland and providing panoramic mountain views.
Jefferson Springs Ranch offers an unparalleled blend of outstanding wildlife habitat, productive ranchland, and convenient location, making it an ideal retreat for a new owner to create their own secluded, wildlife-rich oasis.
