Description

MOTIVATED SELLERS. The Moiese Valley Ranch is a genuine working operation featuring irrigated farmland, fenced pasture, residences, infrastructure, and equipment, all set within an extraordinary western Montana setting. Roughly 141 acres are entirely unencumbered—free from any codes, covenants, conservation easements, or restrictions. A substantial portion of the property falls under a Five Valleys Land Trust Conservation Easement, which preserves the land from development and supports ongoing ranching, farming, and agricultural practices throughout the scenic Mission Valley. The easement includes three designated areas for residential dwellings or farmsteads. Framed by the snow-covered Mission Mountains to the east, the ranch lies within the Flathead Indian Reservation in a quiet rural community—just a short drive from Polson and the famous turquoise waters of Flathead Lake. Contact Joe Sangimino at (406)407-4287, or your real estate professional. A well-rounded combination of irrigated fields, infrastructure, open range, and homestead ground illustrates the year-round functionality of this property. Six center pivots and approximately seven wheel lines provide irrigation to around +/-1, 250 acres planted in alfalfa, barley, triticale, corn, and mixed hay—with ample water rights. Water is delivered via the Flathead Irrigation Project through a canal system. Reported yields have included approximately 10–20 tons/acre of corn silage, +/-20 tons/acre of triticale, +/-5–6 tons/acre of mature alfalfa, and +/-3 tons/acre of new alfalfa. Non-irrigated ground is used as fenced pasture with native grass cover. This well-equipped ranch includes two +/-30, 000-bushel grain bins, two silage bunkers, and a full inventory of tools and machinery to support active production. The relatively low elevation of the Mission Valley allows for more favorable growing conditions and extended seasons compared to other regions of the state—helping bolster the area’s reputation for nutrient-rich soil and high-quality hay. The property stretches nearly 3 miles from north to south and consists of one large primary section with two smaller blocks nearby. Historically operated as a dairy specializing in Holsteins for continuous milk output, the ranch is equally well-positioned for beef and other agricultural uses. As of 2023, the ranch supported about 750 lactating cows, 92 dry cows, and 654 heifers. With an additional 600 free-stall spaces, the estimated capacity was around 1, 500 milking cows. The +/-1, 125 acres of fenced pasture are estimated to sustain 280–340 AUMs independently. Combined with silage-producing farmland, storage capacity, and livestock shelter facilities, the property offers robust wintering potential. Current dairy infrastructure includes free-stall barns for 750 cows, 850 covered shelters for younger livestock, a loafing barn for over 100 cows, maternity pens, and a double-15 parallel milking parlor with non-slip flooring, auto sprayers, drains, rapid-exit lanes, and a 72, 000-lb milk tank. Equipment, vehicles, tools, seed, silage, and other personal property owned by the ranch are available separately through negotiation. Two non-contiguous parcels total approximately 356 acres and are located a short distance from the main block. Each portion is accessible by gravel roads, and most of the terrain is flat valley bottom. Around +/-1, 125 acres of fenced pasture are traversable via ATV, horseback, or truck. The highest elevation on the ranch reaches approximately 3, 740 feet, offering impressive panoramic views overlooking the Flathead River. A leased cell tower near this ridge adds supplemental revenue. The Five Valleys Conservation Easement was created to “preserve, protect, enhance, and restore, in perpetuity, the Conservation Values of the Protected Property… including protecting agricultural use and related conservation values.” The easement prohibits development for non-agricultural purposes but provides for designated areas for Show Description
