The Backwards Z Ranch in Lewistown, MT (so named because of the cattle brand carried by the same family since the late 1940’s) is a very unique opportunity to own a sizeable piece of property, functional as a recreational ranchette with tremendous potential for development. The ranch is located along the northern boundary of the city of Lewistown, Montana, in a very secluded, pretty area with surprising views of all the area mountain ranges and access to the famed Big Spring Creek.
The Backwards Z Ranch is a very unique opportunity to own a very special piece of property in the heart of one of the most beautiful and least know areas of Montana. It is apparent that much pride has been taken in the care and preservation of this property through the years, and as a result of those efforts the possibilities for a new owner are limitless. For the outdoorsman, the recreational amenities on and around the ranch are exceptional. For those looking for a nice horse property the Backwards Z has more than ample hay production and grazing as well as the Central Montana Fairgrounds facilities right next door. Another avenue would be to continue to generate income through livestock leases. With the inevitable growth of the city of Lewistown, this property will ultimately also have very good potential for development in the future; this would be a model property for a conservation easement due to the proximity to the Lewistown City Limits and the wetland area on The Homestead Place. The possibilities are as endless as they are varied.
