Drummond/Clinton Montana, Granite County

Elk and Deer Paradise Near Drummond, Montana

The day before rifle season opened there was a beautiful 6 point bull with his harem of 15 cows on this place. It’s rare to not see elk and there’s always mule deer.  This property is within a hunting district that is growing some extremely nice bucks. The property has open meadows with scattered tree cover, and it’s 4.5 miles behind a locked gate which makes it quiet, safe, and secure for the wildlife. The property holds several natural funnels the elk travel through between feeding and bedding areas during the fall and the beaten trails prove it. There are also several springs they utilize during the fall, but they can be found on the place year round from calving season all the way through their use of the southern exposures for winter range. In addition, you have a huge advantage in both elevation and distance to hunt the country further beyond the property by driving through the gate the public can’t. You have sections of additional State Lands and Nature Conservancy lands that you can roam farther back in to find “the big one” if you don’t want to wait for him to come to you.

The Nature Conservancy lands are slated to be sold to the State of Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (State Lands) within the next several years.  Then this property will border State Land on two sides and your access  on the 4.5 mile access road, all behind a gate, will be almost entirely through the newly created Garnet State Forest.  The public has to walk in from the bottom, but you can drive in any time you want.  Talk about recreational opportunity and hunting.  There will be thousands of acres to explore and hunt from your back yard.

Buy this property before the adjacent ownership becomes State Lands and the price goes up.  Its an amazing deal and investment at only $865/acre.  That’s almost unheard of in western Montana.

It’s also possible to see bighorn sheep on the place as they use the area from time to time.

Building Sites

There are plenty of beautiful choices of locations to build your hunting or recreational cabin or mountain home. You’ll enjoy awesome views of the Garnet and Sapphire Mountains as well as the Welcome Creek Wilderness area. You’re overlooking the Clark Fork River which is only minutes away for fishing as is the Beavertail Pond Fishing Area. And just a few miles across the Clark Fork River from the property is premier fishing on Montana’s Rock Creek.

Ryan Creek (above) is a year round creek that runs through a portion of the property.  

All this and you’re still only 45 minutes away from Missoula and even less to the small town of Drummond.

Drummond/Clinton Montana, Granite County

Live with the bighorn sheep. This property is known for some of its important bighorn sheep habitat. The ewes come here for birthing and the raising of their lambs.  And the rams are here too. There aren’t many properties you can buy where you can say that you own important sheep habitat and see sheep from your front porch. You could also choose to conserve this important sheep habitat forever and receive the financial benefits of placing a conservation easement on the property.

Live with the red-tailed hawks too. They come here to nest on the unique rock formations found on this property. The small cliffs, caves, bluffs, and other rock formations make this property a truly exceptional find. The valley bottom that runs the full length of the property provides your choice of homesites and gives you the elbow room you need and then gives way to the slopes the red-tailed hawks, mule deer, elk, and bighorn sheep call home. This is very good winter range for mule deer, and you’re over a mile from the nearest public motorized access so the wildlife aren’t used to human disturbance.

Owning this full section of ground also gives you access to the adjoining State Lands. There are some exceptional mule deer in this area and the elk won’t be far away either.

Your New Montana Home

This property could easily become your permanent Montana home or just your recreational or hunting get-a-way complete with whatever amenities you desire. It’s only 1 ¼ miles from power and 1 mile from the end of a county road. You’re 45 minutes from Missoula and even less to the small town of Drummond. Bring your horses or other livestock. Did I say quiet? You won’t see or hear anybody because you have a whole section of ground to get away from it all and you’re a mile beyond any other motorized access.

You don’t find prices like these in western Montana. Its only $622 per acre. That makes it a good investment or just a great way to own a lot of Montana land to get away from it all. The low price for the amount of acreage will sell this property let alone the solitude and hunting opportunities that it provides.
