Melvin R. Beck Ranch

Rarely does a closely held family farmstead, steeped in such history become available on the open market. The Melvin R. Beck Ranch offers 287 acres in the shadows of the Flint Creek Range less than 15 minutes south of Deer Lodge, Montana. Most recently managed for hay production with 120 acres under pivot and 100 acres under three, quarter-mile wheel lines. The ranch has retained ample water rights, the oldest with priority date back to 1869. There are two historic improvement clusters. The original homestead and an operational headquarters with a barn, shop, grain storage, and equipment storage. A blank slate or fuse old with new, the Melvin R. Beck Ranch is ready for stewards to see it through the next 100 years and beyond.
