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.

They were untreated timbers; they were hand planed and refinished for the remodel. The countertops in the kitchen were also custom made from the same beams, stained and sealed professionally with food grade sealant providing a beautiful and durable surface with a unique story. The floors in the living room and master bathroom are the original hardwood floors from the early 1900s; refinished by hand and coated professionally to last for generations to come. Plumbing and electrical were updated in 2021 as well, with a top of the line water treatment system that is easy to maintain along with a Rinnai endless water heater.

The driveway, just North of the shop is a bridge that leads across the ditch to the area by Mill Creek. This is the Sellers’ favorite feature of the property! It very, very rarely freezes and provides fresh live water year around. The original barn from the early 1900’s which still works as great storage. The slough is also live, moving water and remains open most of the year making the property ideal for livestock. The irrigation ditch offers opportunity to irrigate the yard and lower pasture without using the well. The shop has a full concrete floor and is well insulated with an efficient propane heater professionally installed. The carport has a new roof as of 2022. The possibility of additional acreage is possible. Please reach out to listing agent for details. Welcome to Western Montana!

Pack animals such as mules were utilized and the Ninemile property was set up to supply pack stock and train packers. In 1980, the Ranger Station and Depot were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
