Surrounded by the alluring Highland and Tobacco Root Mountains, the Jefferson Spring Creek Ranch highlights the epitome of a desirable, Montana property.  The crystal, clear waters of these rare 1.5± miles of spring creek will challenge an angler’s skills and patience.  Abundant water resources including a  .75± mile of the Jefferson River, two ponds, and numerous old river channels help to keep the varieties of wildlife on the property, and extend the invitation for return visits each season.

Habitat has been enhanced by planting numerous food plots and engaging in ongoing restoration projects along the spring creek and the river.  The Ranch is a haven for wildlife including pheasants, trout, and waterfowl, and offers opportunities for tremendous and varied hunting experiences.  By fencing the entire spring creek corridor and planting strategically placed food plots, the wildlife and fishing habitat has expanded and improved considerably. 

Improvements have been executed in a careful and thoughtful manner and are modest in both scope and visibility.  Opportunity for the new owner to build and apply a personal touch is very much an attribute of this property.  Built between the two ponds is a well-appointed, handcrafted cabin with spectacular views of the Tobacco Root and Highland Mountains.  A 1900’s era ranch house has been modernized and rests in a resplendent setting perfect for friends and guests.

A beautiful property in a much-desired location near Waterloo, MT, is tough to come by and even more so when the improvements have been limited allowing for personal touches to be expanded on by a new owner.  As the Jefferson River meanders through the property and its rich, riparian habitat, it draws both wildlife and anglers to its waters.  High above, the Tobacco Root and Highland Mountains offer summer grazing and a winter haven for the migrating elk herds and mule deer populations.  Prime hunting and fishing exists across the entire property.  The Jefferson Spring Creek Ranch has one of the healthiest and well-balanced riparian areas we have seen.
