Framed by the Clark Fork to the north, Rock Creek to the east, and timbered ridges to the south and west, the 736 +/- acre Rock Clark Ranch is positioned at the confluence of Rock Creek and the Clark Fork and includes over a mile and a half of combined river frontage. The property is a spectacle of diverse terrain. The rivers’ riparian areas give way to lush grasslands, while multiple ridges rise from the valley floor, giving the property its own mountainsides and drainage. This range of habitat supports nearly every species found in western Montana, from trout to big game, from mountain grouse to waterfowl. The landscape here is built for hunters, anglers, and wildlife enthusiasts alike. Sharing nearly a three-mile boundary with difficult-to-access National Forest and BLM lands, the property is completely surrounded by public lands and conservation easement ground, offering unmatched privacy and a protected viewshed in every direction. Improvements include the main lodge, a beautiful 4,725 +/- square foot custom home positioned within earshot of Rock Creek at the base of the mountain. In a separate location nearby, the guest cabin was built in 2024 and includes 1,434 +/- square feet with 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Perched at the top of a ridge, a primitive hunting cabin overlooks the rivers and ranch below and provides a jumping-off point for adventure in the surrounding forest. Access is via a shared private road and a private bridge across Rock Creek, a blue-ribbon trout stream boasting over 1,500 fish per mile. After crossing the bridge, internal roads connect the improvements to both rivers and the adjoining public lands. Few Montana properties can claim frontage on a high-caliber river. Fewer still can claim frontage on two world-class freestones, let alone their confluence. The Rock Clark Ranch is truly one of a kind in Montana’s ranch market.
