Mountain House is one of five parts of Alta Meadow Ranch and offers 64+ acres bordering U.S. Forest Service lands and thousands of acres of recreation and privacy. 

Located in the upper West Fork of the Bitterroot River Valley in the southern most part of the Bitterroot Valley, the ranch is part of the second largest land holding in the region. Surrounded by National Forest and Wilderness, the land offers refuge to the owners and a retreat for visiting friends and family. The ranch offers a western lifestyle that few can imagine. Rushing rivers full of trout for fly fishing, large ponds, a huge reservoir nearby for boating, and miles of unspoiled land extending for hundreds of miles into Idaho. Thousands of acres are right out the door to be discovered. 

This land was once a part of a larger ranch and was divided into 6 parcels many years ago. There are 5 owners who share what is precious to all in common areas while maintaining private ownership of their own parcels. Fly fishing is right out to door, hiking trails into the Bitterroot National Forest, boating or kayaking on nearby Painted Rocks Lake, and just enjoying the sound of the breeze through the pines are just some of the benefits of this location and offering. 

It is the last privately owned parcel in Montana before travelers reach the state of Idaho in the upper West Fork of the Bitterroot Valley. A land ownership of this type only comes available once in a lifetime—truly a legacy purchase for a family to be enjoyed for years to come. The restrictions and shared responsibility of the ownership insure that the ranch will always be beautiful, quiet and peaceful.     

The subject property is located 32 miles south of Darby, a charming, small community of less than 1,000 people (zip code 59829). Darby has a K-12 school, urgent medical clinic, grocery store, fly shops, and other unique stores. It is famous for its big town rodeo events and nearby recreational opportunities on Lake Como and Painted Rocks Reservoir. Darby is the gateway to the wilderness experiences right outside of town.

Hamilton is just north of Darby and is an upscale western community of approximately 8,000 residence. The vital downtown main street speaks to the health of the community with local businesses thriving and providing dining and services. Marcus Daly Hospital is rated in the top 100 urgent care facilities in the nation. Stock Farm Club, founded by Charles Schwab in the late 1990’s, offers members an 18 hole Tom Fazio designed golf course as well as other amenities on 2,600 acres.
