About this property
Tucked away at the end of a private drive in the heart of the Bitterroot Valley, Bear Creek Ranch offers a rare combination of privacy, live water, and premium hunting opportunities-just minutes from the welcoming western town of Victor, Montana. Set on 20± acres of open meadow, aspen groves, and towering pine, the property features over 2,000 feet of private, year-round creek frontage on the North Fork of Bear Creek. Just 1.5 miles upstream from the famed Bitterroot River-a designated blue ribbon fishery-the ranch provides trout fishing access right out the back door, with rainbow, brown, and brook trout calling these cold, clear waters home. For the avid hunter, the ranch sits squarely within Montana's General Unit 240, offering general big game combination licenses for elk, mule deer, and whitetail deer. The Bitterroot Valley is known for its strong game populations, varied terrain, and extended seasons. From early fall bugles echoing through the timber to whitetail action along the creek bottom, this property offers outstanding potential for resident and non-resident hunters alike. Wildlife frequents the property throughout the year, drawn by the water, shelter, and transitional habitat surrounding the ranch. _ Anchoring the property is a 2,546 sq ft, 3-bedroom, 2-bath home that captures the essence of creekside living. Thoughtfully sited to take in the sounds and sights of Bear Creek, the home features a wraparound deck with creekfront views, a walkout basement, forced-air heat, central A/C, and a durable metal roof-ideal for four-season comfort at 3,500 feet in elevation. Whether you're enjoying a summer evening on the deck or watching elk pass through during a snow-covered dawn, the home is designed to be both a peaceful refuge and a basecamp for adventure. _ The landscape itself is classic Montana: open valley bottom giving way to forested edges, with pockets of quaking aspen and native grass meadows bordered by old-growth pine. A barn and equipment shed provide utility for land stewardship and storage, but the true value lies in the land, the water, and the access to the outdoors. Year-round access, domestic well, septic, and city power ensure you're never far from comfort, even as you feel a world away. Bear Creek Ranch is an exceptional year-round property for the discerning sportsman or those seeking a lifestyle immersed in nature. Just 18 minutes from Hamilton and under an hour to Missoula, it offers an uncommon blend of seclusion, scenery, and sport in one of Montana's most desirable valleys. _ PROPERTY ATTRIBUTES • 20 ± deeded acres • 2,546 ± sf home (3 Bed/ 2 Bath) • 1,032 sf barn (hay storage, chicken coop, stalls) • 384 sf shed/garage • 2000 + ft of private creek access (Northfork Bear Creek) • Secluded property (private drive with end-of-the-road privacy) • Year-round abundant wildlife • Hunting for Elk, Whitetail, Turkey, Bear, Grouse • Back of property offers amazing views of the Bitterroot Mountains • Walkout basement • Fenced-in livestock area • Fully fenced property • 2 miles south of Victor, MT (small town community, restaurants, outdoor recreation) • 37 miles to downtown Missoula (Costco, Missoula Montana Airport MSO, Skiing) • 12 miles to Hamilton, MT (shops, restaurants, Ravalli County Rodeo) _ HOUSE • 2,546 ± sf (3 Bed / 2 Bath) • Home built in 1991 • Main floor living with walk-out basement • Graveled drive • Main level room: Master suite, Living room, Kitchen, Dining room, Wrap-around deck, W/D • Lower level room: Rec room/Living room, Cabinet storage, Utilities, Fireplace/stove, Metal roof _ ADDITIONAL FEATURES • City power to property (House, Barn, Shed) • Forced Air heating • Water: 120 ft deep private well, 16 gallons per minute • Extra water rights for irrigation • Water softener • Whole home AC • Water and power to the barn • Fenced-in livestock area • Multiple natural springs on the property

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
