Harwood Ranch

Details & Features

Straddling Gallatin and Madison Counties in southwest Montana, the Harwood Ranch is one of the most significant recreational land offerings to come onto the Montana Ranch market in recent years.

Situated in a beautiful, private, and secluded end-of-the-road setting, the ranch is a scenic 10-minute drive south from the small town of Willow Creek. The property consists of 4,996 contiguous deeded acres of farmland, rangeland, and creek riparian habitat associated with Willow Creek – a fantastic tailwater trout fishery – which meanders through the property for approximately 6± miles. In addition to the creek, the property has significant frontage on the north arm of Harrison Lake, aka Willow Creek Reservoir. Offering strong recreational and agricultural features, the ranch is home to a varied wildlife community that includes elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, antelope, Hungarian Partridge, pheasant and mixed waterfowl species. Historically, 772 acres of the property have been farmed with 216 acres irrigated, and the balance of the crop ground being seeded to rotational dryland crops. Quality improvements including a main residence and guest house were built in the early 1990’s, and upgrades have been made to the support buildings on the ranch, all of which are sited in close proximity to Willow Creek. The property shares common boundary with both State of Montana and Bureau of Land Management lands and immediate neighbors are mostly larger landowners. There are countless wonderful building sites scattered over the ranch and no conservation easements in place.

The surrounding area is one of the most sporting-oriented locations in Montana, renowned for a number of legendary trout fisheries and world-class hunting options for upland birds, waterfowl and big game. The Harwood Ranch is a stunning property with amazing recreational attributes, and combined with a premier location, represents a truly rare and unique purchase opportunity.
