Chief Mountain Ranch

Listing Price: $1,750,000

Chief Mountain Ranch is located four miles east of Glacier National Park and five miles south of the United States and Canada border.  This 400-acre tract of unimproved land offers a panorama of peaks and ridges, forested areas and rock outcroppings. Four miles from the ranch is the town of Babb, Montana.  The eastern gateway resort community of St. Mary’s lies twelve miles to the south, and twenty-five miles away is the Canadian resort town of Waterton Lakes Park.

This wild and gorgeous ranch is named after Chief Mountain, the most iconic peak along the eastern mountain front. Standing over 9,000 feet tall, it looms as sentinel over the territory and holds great significance to the Blackfeet Indian Nation and numerous other Native American tribes as a spiritual and historic symbol.  Otatso and Kennedy Creeks flow west to east off Glacier Park’s mountain flanks and merge at the property boundary.  Their combined waters meander for more than a mile through a canyon-cut that provides excellent fishing and wildlife habitat.  A pleasing mix of aspen groves, pine forests, meadows and swales provide enough topographical and vegetative diversity to round off the property’s breathtaking features.  The close proximity to numerous lakes, creeks, rivers and mountain trails add to the abundance of neighborhood recreation options including hiking, fishing, hunting and horseback riding.

The ranch has been in family hands since the 1920s, utilized only for grazing and recreation.  Today, the property is ideally suited for a conservation easement, allowing a new owner to enjoy and protect the beauty of Chief Mountain Ranch for generations to come.  Because the ranch has no improvements, there are endless possibilities for one to create a fine recreational getaway residence.  

Chief Mountain Ranch is a stunningly beautiful property in an immense wild landscape setting. The close proximity to Glacier Park, pristine views, ease of access by paved highway and many onsite angling and recreational opportunities make Chief Mountain Ranch a truly special property.
