Framed by sweeping, unobstructed views of the Pintler Range, this remarkable 78.85-acre property outside Philipsburg offers an exceptional opportunity to own a truly beautiful piece of the western Montana landscape. Expansive hay meadow, open pasture, and year-round natural water create a setting that feels both productive and peaceful, with endless possibilities for a private ranch retreat, equestrian property, or future homesite. Along the northern boundary, spring-fed Trail Creek, a tributary to blue ribbon trout fishing Rock Creek, gently winds through the property, adding both beauty and valuable natural character. The land includes 60 inches of first-priority irrigation water rights from East Fork Reservoir with an unheard-of $0 ditch fee agreement negotiated generations ago, plus direct delivery to the headgate with no seepage loss charged against the rights (additional water rights available for purchase if desired). Electrical power is already on-site, and a shared approach off Montana Highway 38 provides convenient access while preserving the property's open feel. An existing foundation remains on the property and may offer potential for a shop, home, or other future use, with repairs needed at the corners if retained. Currently leased for grazing, this property offers agricultural value, live water, irrigation, infrastructure, no zoning or covenants, and stunning mountain views — a rare chance to own large acreage in western Montana.
