CLARKS FORK
RIVER
LOCATION:
This rare and beautiful farm
borders the North side of the Clark’s Fork
River for more than a mile. It is
just thirty two miles from Billings, MT;
and not more than thirty six miles from the resort
town of Red Lodge, MT. This
farm on the Clark’s Fork could be just an easy, daily commute from Billings;
or a very accessible retreat from any
place in the country via Billings airport and a short drive.
DESCRIPTION:
The Clark’s
Fork Farm is scenic and affords a good deal of excellent big game habitat.
It is also a very productive and well- improved
‘working’ farm for anyone wanting to continue the farming/ranching
operation. Abundant water rights
from the Clark’s Fork River and the Edgar Canal will transfer with the farm. Approximately 222 Acres of the total 278.93 Acres are
irrigated. The balance is pasture land, woodlands, and farmstead. The fields are inexpensively irrigated by flood irrigation
from ditches and ‘gated pipe’.
Soils are very good, deep loam and clay-loam texture.
The growing season is fairly long for an area this close to the
mountains; and the scenery is gorgeous! A
potential buyer could test the Clark’s Fork fishery by ‘independent inspection’.
