8950 Chevallier Drive

Helena, MT 59602

Held by the same family since 1871, the Chevallier Ranch represents one of Montana's rare legacy ranch offerings. Encompassing approximately 13,935 deeded acres together with 1,360 acres of State Lease ground, this all-contiguous holding combines productive agricultural land, exceptional wildlife habitat, live water, and outstanding recreational opportunities in one remarkable property. Located just 25 minutes from Helena, Montana's capital city, the ranch offers a rare balance of privacy, scale, and accessibility. Large ranches of this size seldom come to market, particularly those without a conservation easement, providing future ownership flexibility while preserving the ranch's working agricultural foundation and historic character. The ranch supports up to 700 AUMs and includes approximately 650 acres of irrigated hay ground complemented by expansive native rangeland, rolling meadows, creek bottoms, timbered draws, and mountain terrain. Strong water resources and diverse landscapes support both livestock production and abundant wildlife. Elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, antelope, black bear, upland birds, and other native species frequent the property. Nearby recreation includes Great Divide Ski Area, Helena National Forest, the Continental Divide Trail, world-class fishing, boating, horseback riding, mountain biking, and snowmobiling. Historic improvements include the original ranch home built in 1890, the iconic Stone House, a ranch hand residence, bunkhouse, horse barn, newer shop, multiple barns, grain storage, sheds, windbreaks, and extensive pipe corrals supporting a well-equipped ranch operation. The Chevallier Ranch is a rare opportunity to acquire nearly 14,000 deeded acres of Montana history, productivity, recreation, and Western heritage in one of the state's most sought-after locations.
