About this property

New to the market is this 95+/- acre irrigated hay property located just outside of Saco, Montana, with excellent access from both Highway 2 and Dehy Road. The property offers a combination of flood irrigated and dryland acreage, making it well-suited as an investment property or hay base for a larger agricultural operation. Approximately 51+/- acres are flood irrigated, with water rights provided by the Malta Irrigation District. The irrigated acres have most recently been planted to haybet barley, which produced 94, 1500 pound bales last year with minimal irrigation. An additional 30 +/- acres were broken in 2014 and seeded to Garrison grass, producing 130 bales with 200 pounds of fertilizer in 2025. The property is easily accessible year-round, with direct frontage along Highway 2 as well as Dehy Road, providing the potential for commercial development if desired. A three-phase power line crosses the property, offering future utility potential, although power is not currently developed on-site. The southwest corner of the property presents a particularly functional site for improvements. With access from two sides and its location adjacent to the Saco Dehy, this area would lend itself well to a homesite, hay yard, auction yard, or small feedlot operation. This is a well-located parcel offering irrigation, access, and development potential. With smaller acreage properties suited for agricultural production becoming increasingly difficult to find, this is one worth considering.

    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.

    1. Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
    2. 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.
    3. Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
    4. 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.
    5. RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
    6. Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
    7. UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
    8. 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.
