5845 Dry Creek Ranch Road

Whitehall, MT 59759

Highland Foothills Ranch is set proudly in the Eastern foothills of the Highland Mountains of southwestern Montana, with commanding views of the expansive Jefferson River Valley and inspiring Tobacco Root, Bridger, Snowcrest, and Gravelly Mountains. Highland Foothills Ranch is the impossible-to-find blend of scenic beauty, privacy, functionality, and recreational opportunities. The ranch’s 317+/- acres blend grass pastures, irrigated hay ground, old-growth coniferous and beautiful willows, and aspen trees lining the banks of Dry Creek, which flows for over a half mile through the property year-round. The riparian corridor is rich with wildlife and defines the ranch’s character. A 41-acre solar-powered, gravity-fed pivot currently provides over 100 tons of alfalfa/grass hay annually and is joined by 32 acres of flood/k-line irrigated pasture. The ranch currently supports a 50-60 year-round cow-calf operation. The current owner runs not only cattle and sheep but yaks, donkeys, horses, goats and chickens. Completed in 2024, the 3933sq ft luxury home features a first-floor primary suite, stone fireplace, chef’s kitchen, wraparound deck, and walk-out basement with guest quarters. A log guest cabin adds flexible space for visitors or rentals. A large barn with hayloft and stalls, original homesteader’s cabin, multiple corrals, and fenced pastures support various livestock use. Located at the end of a private gravel road, the ranch is secluded but nicely situated near Butte and Bozeman, MT, with all the modern amenities of a mountain town. The world-class fly-fishing waters of the Madison, Jefferson, Beaverhead, Ruby, and Big Hole Rivers are nearby, with all the ingredients for excellent deer and elk hunting on the ranch. Limited regional development helps preserve the remote, wild atmosphere here. Highland Foothills Ranch is a hard-to-find opportunity to blend a working ag operation and recreation lifestyle on a single piece of property. Exceptional views and well-considered improvements make the work here enjoyable and productive at the same time.
