Blackwater Ranch

Just ten minutes south of Great Falls, Montana, lies the Blackwater Ranch, a unique offering that encompasses 90.79± acres with frontage along Montana’s famous Missouri River. Combining productive agricultural ground and high-quality improvements, with outstanding recreational components, this ranch offers a special opportunity to own one of the larger riverfront properties in a desirable area on the fringe of Great Falls. While the setting is rural and grand, shopping, dining, healthcare, and other conveniences are just minutes away.

The ranch has quality improvements, including a custom main residence built in 2018, a remodeled guest home, and multiple outbuildings that support a variety of agricultural and recreational uses. Productive hay fields, valuable Missouri River water rights, and a nearby State grazing lease provide the resources to support livestock or hay production while maintaining the property’s recreational appeal for hunting, fishing, or horseback riding.

The Missouri River is at the heart of the ranch. The river is known for excellent fishing, boating, and abundant wildlife. This stretch of river offers opportunities to catch walleyes, northern pike, smallmouth bass, channel catfish, and brown trout. The cottonwood-lined banks and nearby Buckshot Island provide great cover and habitat for waterfowl, raptors, whitetail deer, and many other species. Craig, Montana, is just a short drive upriver and is known for its blue-ribbon tailwater fishery.

The Blackwater Ranch is ideally positioned for a person to take advantage of the world-class fishing and hunting found in western and central Montana. Whether you’re looking for a productive ranch, an equestrian property, or simply a place to enjoy Montana’s outdoor lifestyle, Blackwater Ranch offers the rare combination of river frontage, agricultural productivity, and the convenience of close proximity to the urban amenities found in Great Falls.
