198 acres in Sanders County, Montana

Description

The Double Circle F Ranch consists of 198.85 acres & half a mile of Thompson River frontage. This pristine & private acreage borders the Lolo National Forest & is about 20 miles away from Marion, MT. The 3048 square foot home has been completely remodeled & is an intricate blend of wood & etched glass. Inside this 3 bed, 2 bath custom ranch style home, you will find a spacious layout with a western feel. From the half glass door with a bull elk etched into it to the early 1900s old west saloon dance floor that is used for floorboards throughout the house, this is the perfect retreat. There is a gourmet kitchen with top of the line appliances, tile countertops, & hand hewn blue stain pine cabinets. The master suite is huge, with vaulted tongue & groove ceilings & a Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. The property is located near the Cabinet Mountain Range about 4 miles from Bitterroot Lake, Ashley Lake, McGregor Lake and Thompson Lakes. The acreage is all useable & can support 25 to 30 cow/calf pairs. There are wheel lines & a gravity fed irrigation system. The property is fenced & cross-fenced with T-posts & 4 strand wire. There is a hay barn, a round pen, a loading dock for cattle, & a 1200 square foot shop/garage. A more unique feature is the half mile landing strip & single airplane hangar located on the property. The land around the house is landscaped & there is a spring & a creek in addition to Thompson River. Thompson River is a gentle river that is home to rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, whitefish & brook trout, with the occasional bull trout. The Thompson River remains relatively clear during the year, allowing it to be fished when many other Montana rivers are blown out by high, muddy water. The meadow forest mix of Double Circle F Ranch combined with the riparian habitat of the Thompson River creates a superb environment. The property is home to a resident elk herd that features a rare albino elk, trophy mule deer, whitetails, moose, bear, mountain lion & turkey
