Jefferson River Preserve presents a rare opportunity to own a premier riverfront property in Montana, encompassing approximately 250± acres of fertile bottomland, productive pastures, and exceptional recreational features. Located just a few miles south of Three Forks and within a half-hour drive of Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, this ranch offers a remarkable setting with panoramic views of the Bridger, Madison, and Tobacco Root mountain ranges. Bordering nearly 0.6± mile of the Jefferson River, the property is defined by 115± acres of vibrant, spring-fed riparian zone. Ancient cottonwoods tower over a mosaic of wetlands, natural springs, and meandering sloughs, creating a sanctuary for wildlife. The ranch hosts an impressive array of species, including waterfowl such as mallards, teal (both blue-winged and cinnamon), widgeon, Canada geese, and tundra swans. Upland birds like pheasants, wild turkeys, and sandhill cranes are also common, along with raptors, songbirds, and large game like white-tailed deer, moose, and the occasional elk. This property offers both beauty and flexibility. An existing home offers the next buyer the ability to immediately enjoy the property. In addition, a designated homesite with an approved five-bedroom septic system is already established, allowing a future owner to begin building without delay. Whether you envision a custom-built home, a recreational getaway, or a working ranch, the Jefferson River Preserve provides a pristine canvas on which to realize your vision. With its combination of wildlife-rich habitats, agricultural potential, and strategic location near Bozeman, this riverfront ranch is an exceptional offering for those seeking a unique combination of privacy, convenience, and recreation.
