About Willow Creek South Fork Ranch

Willow Creek South Fork Ranch is situated in the rolling foothills of the Long John Mountain Range on the outskirts of the Lower Flint Creek Valley. The ranch consists of 913 picturesque and pristine acres of wide open meadows, grassy hillsides and ridges, timbered draws, wetlands, and riparian habitats along roughly one and a half private miles and both banks of the South Fork of Willow Creek. Spanning from hill-top to valley-bottom with panoramic views of the Flint Creek Valley and several mountain ranges including the Flints, the Garnets, and the Long Johns, this ranch embodies a classic Montana landscape. While just over a one hour drive to the urban amenities available in the university town of Missoula, Montana, Willow Creek South Fork Ranch provides unsurpassed peace and quiet, and a genuine off-the-beaten-path lifestyle. Nighttime on the ranch is especially pleasant and illustrative of this privacy - the view in all directions will produce only a handful of lights throughout the vast expanse of farmland and wilderness, while only the sound of wind and water will fill your consciousness. The ranch is within close and easy proximity to some of the best fly fishing streams in the country including the Clark Fork River, the Big Blackfoot, Rock Creek, and Flint Creek, as well as the outdoor recreation destination of beautiful Georgetown Lake which is located about 25 miles south of the property. Additionally, the ranch boasts its own fishery - one and a half miles of the South Fork of Lower Willow Creek bisect the property, supporting a native strain of small but feisty westslope cutthroat and bull trout. The ranch is one of several in the vicinity that a wide variety of wildlife call home and the property is consistently inhabited by good numbers of elk, deer, and moose, which translates to some excellent big game hunting on the property. Top flight skiing and other winter activities are available just up the road at Discovery Ski Basin. In a wild setting with a quick drive to other recreational opportunities such as golf, horseback riding, hiking, and mountain biking, this ranch is a wonderful retreat from the norm.
