Squaw Creek Meadow

Lolo, Montana - $2,178,000 New Listing

Perfectly situated between the picturesque Sapphire and Bitterroot Mountain ranges, Squaw Creek Meadow represents a lifetime of outdoor recreation opportunities on a rare undeveloped 121 acres of the famed Bitterroot Valley. While less than 15 minutes from the urban amenities available in the university town of Missoula, MT, this property provides quick and easy access to three world-class cold water fishing destinations – the Bitterroot, Clark Fork, and Big Blackfoot Rivers – as well as close proximity to the seemingly endless wilderness and big game opportunities in the Sapphire Mountains and the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area. The property itself consists of lush pasture, healthy ponderosa pine forests, and riparian habitat and wetlands along both sides of an approximately ½ mile stretch of the spring fed Squaw Creek. This property boasts several excellent building sites and would be a great match for several permanent residences, or a private fishing and equestrian getaway. Additionally, the proposed Bitterroot Resort is just across the road providing the potential for year-round recreation ranging from golf, horseback riding, hiking, and mountain biking in the spring, summer, and fall to downhill and Nordic skiing in the winter.

Squaw Creek Meadow is located on the northern end of the Bitterroot Valley, just outside the small Montana town of Lolo. Lolo marks the site of a centuries-old Native American campsite called “Traveler’s Rest” which was used by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark before they braved the rugged Bitterroot Mountains on their famous expedition across the west in 1805 and 1806.

The property contains both sides of a half mile stretch of the spring fed perennial Squaw Creek. Squaw Creek is a beautiful small stream, used for many years as source for irrigation and watering pastured cows. At the same time, Squaw Creek supports  a small resident trout population and has the potential to become more productive with some intense stream rehabilitation work, the best fishing options in the area exist just off the property. The Bitterroot Valley holds enough trout streams to keep a fisherman busy for a lifetime. From countless cold, boulder-strewn mountain streams, to the big water and trophy trout opportunities in the valley bottom, the Bitterroot drainage has every brand of trout fishing available.
