Location:
The
ranch is located on the Judith River 30 miles northwest
of Lewistown and 11 miles east of Denton. Entrance
to the property is about 1.25 miles north of Highway
81. Nearby to the north about 2 or 3 miles are over
6,500 acres of lands entrusted with Montana Dept of
Fish & Wildlife for public hunting and other recreation.
Lewistown has been in national magazines and journals
as one of the best places in America to live and hunt
& fish. The privacy and quality of life in this
area is unsurpassed.
Lewistwon
Area: Lewistown
(Pop. of 6,500) is in the Center of Montana surrounded
by five area mountain ranges. To the north is the
Missouri River / Ft. 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. Currently
Great Lakes Airlines provides daily commercial air
service from Denver to Lewistown.
Ranch
Size:
This
ranch contains 880 + deeded acres. The Fergus County
Farm Service Agency indicates there are about 303
acres of tillable lands on the property. The current
use of these lands are hay production and tame pasture.
The land is leased for the 2011 year. There are about
200 sprinkler irrigated acres along the Judith River
bottoms.
Water:
The
Judith River meandering through this property for
two miles. Besides the river there are 3 or 4 coulees
and draws that have seasonal water and there is a
developed spring with a water tank on the northeastern
corner.
Wildlife
& Habitat:
This
property would make an excellent Deer and Bird habitat
project. There are Mule Deer, Whitetail Deer, Pheasants,
and Upland Game Birds with occasional turkey and elk
on the north end. The number and varieties of wildlife
would increase with some wildlife management practices
such as introducing small grains (wheat, barley, oats,
safflower, corn, millet, new alfalfa) and rows of
shelterbelts. The natural habitat especially with
all the riverfront is ideal for Mule Deer, Whitetail
Deer, Pheasants, Geese and various other waterfowl.
Conservation
Easements:
There
are no conservation easements in place on this property.
Comments:
This
is a very private property with about two miles of
Judith River. It is secluded with good natural habitat.
There are no buildings that you have to pay for. It
is very aesthetic and yet productive with an abundance
of water. With all this water food plots and shelterbelts
would thrive. All the natural ingredients are there
plus a little work this could be a wildlife masterpiece.
What a fun project this would be.
