Jackson, MT (Beaverhead County)

Comprised of approximately 3,054 deeded acres, the Schindler Ranch offers fertile river bottom, wide open pastures and big mountain views of the Beaverhead and Pioneer Mountain Ranges. This picturesque setting is complemented by two miles of riparian corridor on both sides of the Upper Big Hole River, along with expansive tracts of aspen groves. Sprinkled along the western portion of the ranch are conifer stands. The Schindler Ranch is located five miles outside of the small ranching community of Jackson, Montana in Beaverhead County. Jackson provides small town conveniences, which include a hardware store, feed and tack, grocery store, post office, hotel and restaurant while larger town amenities can be found in nearby Dillon. The ranch is currently an operational cattle ranch with good hay production, water rights, newly enhanced irrigation canals, numerous new stocked ponds and a number of in-progress river enhancement projects. Excellent brook trout fishing, with rainbows and browns, can be found on the two miles of Upper Big Hole River as it meanders through the ranch. Natural springs are onsite as well. These water sources are also valuable for attracting big game, as evidence from the large number of elk that reside on the property and nearby National Forest. These combined recreational components create a paradise for the avid hunter and fly fisherman. Improvements include a recently upgraded and remodeled homestead serving as the caretakers home and a newer home located along the river corridor which functions as the main ranch home.
