Six Meadows Ranch on the Boulder River

The Ultimate Montana Property. The 842-acre Six Meadows Ranch on the Boulder River not only offers all that this wonderful state has to offer—including panoramic mountain views, endless hiking, bird, deer, and elk habitat, but it might be one of the greatest fishing properties to hit the market.

In addition to the property being located along the famed blue ribbon trout stream, the Boulder River, it also has four spring fed trout ponds situated in the middle 63-acre riparian corridor of the property. The water rights are quality and have the potential to redevelop the flow into a spring creek fishery or to update the ponds for enhanced fish habitat. The owners, with the help of an engineer and local contractor, restored the river bank just north of the house for better bank stabilization and improved fish habitat and water flow along the river. While wandering around from pond to pond or over to the river, in between casts, be sure to watch your step, as gallons of morel mushrooms have been harvested from the riparian corridor in the spring of the year.

Once you leave the pristine riparian bottom land, you travel around the hill and start up a two-track road heading to the back of the property. As you climb out of the Susie Creek drainage, you will head towards the mountain divide where you are surrounded by panoramic mountain vistas in all directions.  The top end of the property runs all the way from the East Boulder divide to the head of Susie Creek where the stream runs across it for over a quarter mile.

The property is conserved with a MLR conservation easement that allows for two additional building sites on the property. The easement notes that this is a very diverse landscape and provides vital open space habitat preservation for many species of plants and wildlife.

The “Triangle” House, What a treasure!  An LTS Architecture design and completed in 2022. Situated just off the Boulder River against a grassy meadow lies the 2,000 sq. ft., 3 bed, 2.5 bath home.  Wrap around decking provides endless viewsheds to watch sun rises, sunsets, and the night stars while over 26 custom Marvin windows allow the panoramic views to be seen from every angle in the house.

Custom building throughout. From the herringbone oak flooring, Montana designed oak doors, and unique window coverings, to the tiling and fixtures in the bathrooms, the premium features and attention to detail are truly top notch.  Two large sliding glass doors allow a seamless transition from inside the kitchen living area to the large front deck with a firepit and hot tub area.

This home is very thoughtfully furnished and can convey that way for the right deal.

An oversized two car garage lies just beside the home allowing for plenty of storage for all of the toys one might need to enjoy this great property.

Why wait years to have someone build a home like this when it could be yours in short order?

Come down and take a look, cast a line, and enjoy the Six Meadows Ranch on the Boulder River in the “Best Last Place.”
