With its dozens of professionally designed ski runs and miles of hiking trails and two-track roads, it would be difficult to source a more unique opportunity so close to modern amenities.

Mule and whitetail deer, coyotes, and bears also call the ranch home. If over 800 acres isn’t enough, the ranch shares a one-and-three-quarters-mile boundary with the Lolo National Forest, providing exclusive entry at nearly 6,200 feet in elevation. From that point, an owner will have unparalleled access to two mountain lakes, giving way to millions of acres of public land, including the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness.

From there, the elevation increases up the McClain Creek Canyon, where it meets with Lolo National Forest and a coveted 640-acre, 83 AUM state grazing lease. The centerpiece of the ranch is a 5,000+ square foot custom log home nestled in the trees overlooking the bucolic Bitterroot Valley.
