Augusta, MT (Lewis and Clark County)

The Sun River Ranch is one of the most complete and awe inspiringly beautiful private ranch retreats we have seen. Consisting of approximately 3,000� total acres (1,539� deeded with the balance consisting of State of Montana and BLM leases), it lies along both sides of approximately 3.5 miles of the trout rich Sun River just below the Gibson Reservoir Dam making it a tailwater fishery with limited public access. The new improvements - highlighted by a spectacularly sited 7,325� sq. ft. owner�s residence built of large diameter logs, a guest cabin, a barn with apartment, guest house and manager\'s house - are comfortable and fully adequate without being over the top. The views are breathtaking of Castle Reef and Scapegoat Mountain. The ranch is easily accessible from nearby Augusta (20 miles east) with commercial air service just over an hour away in Great Falls. This is one of the most protected and prolific wildlife areas in Montana. It was an early target of The Nature Conservancy who has bought or protected large tracts to the north where grizzly bears forage out into the plains. The ranch also adjoins the 19,000 acre Sun River Game Range. It has easy, almost immediate access to one of the most significant wilderness complexes in the lower 48 states that includes both the Bob Marshall Wilderness and Glacier National Park.
