Sarpy Creek Ranch

Property Summary: It is rare that you can travel paved road to a ranch with so much game. There are 160 acre tracts on this 10,000 acre ranch. This property is at the end of the road and boarders a section (640 acres) of state land. It has a commanding view of the surrounding area. This is a very quiet part of Montana, not visited by tourist. The main inhabitants are ranchers! The privacy and solitude give one the sense of truly being alone with nature! The section of state land bordering the east side of the property gives the owner a place to hike or hunt or ride horses without going on private property. The town of Forsyth Montana is about 40 miles from the property. It also has all the amenities you'd need including a golf course.
