Mr Ranch

Descriptions

MR Ranch is located just north of Three Forks, Montana, and lies along the south bank of the Missouri River. The ranch varies from deep juniper canyons to a lush riparian bottom along the river corridor, which spans about a mile. The river braids offer abundant wetland habitat, attracting a wealth of wildlife. Wildlife thrives in this valley because of the fabulous water amenities and lack of development. The Missouri River and all its side channels support local varieties of nesting waterfowl. As northern migratory birds arrive and other waters in the area begin to freeze in late fall, ducks and geese search for open water, which concentrates their numbers on the larger Missouri River. White-tailed deer tend to congregate along the river bottoms during the day, with mule deer, antelope, and occasionally elk finding cover in the deep canyons on the ranch. The bulk of the ranch is made up of large sweeping canyons with rugged coulees. A multitude of evergreens and junipers line the canyons, providing excellent cover for wildlife to flourish. The views are equally diverse and dramatic, with the Bridgers to the east, the Spanish Peaks and Tobacco Root Mountains to the south/southwest, and the Elk Horn and Big Belt Mountains to the north. The ranch features a small one-bedroom, one-bathroom cabin with a loft, kitchen, dining area, and two garage spaces, running entirely on solar power. This cabin includes radiant heat and a wood fireplace. A backup propane generator can charge the solar in certain circumstances.
