Irrigated Farm Ground, Grazing Acres & 5+ Miles of Milk River Frontage |
\nHarlem, Montana<\/span> <\/b><\/p>\n

\nLocated just under 6 miles east of Harlem, Montana, in the productive Milk River Valley of North
\nCentral Montana, Cottonwood Bend Ranch offers a rare combination of irrigated farm
\nground, native grazing acres, live water, and exceptional wildlife habitat. Spanning 1,018.29\u00b1
\ntotal deeded acres, this property presents a highly usable agricultural operation with strong
\nrecreational value in one of the most desirable ranching regions along the Hi-Line. <\/span><\/p>\n


\nWith approximately 639.463\u00b1 acres of irrigated ground, 309.209\u00b1 acres of grazing land, 60.618\u00b1
\nacres enrolled in Wild Hay habitat acres, and a 9\u00b1 acre homestead site, the ranch offers the
\nkind of diversity that supports both cattle production and dependable hay or crop income.
\nProperties with this much productive irrigated acreage combined with extensive Milk River
\nfrontage are increasingly difficult to find in Montana. <\/span><\/p>\n


\nOne of the defining features of the property is its impressive 5.23 miles of Milk River frontage.
\nLive water of this scale creates both operational value and long-term investment strength. In
\naddition to the river frontage, the ranch includes two oxbows, providing additional water
\nresources, wildlife habitat, and strong waterfowl attraction throughout the year. Mature
\ncottonwood trees line much of the river corridor, creating natural protection, beauty, and
\noutstanding habitat for wildlife. <\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe irrigated acres provide strong agricultural productivity and are well-suited for hay
\nproduction, feed programs, or supporting an existing cattle operation. The grazing acres offer
\npractical livestock use with natural shelter and river-bottom forage, making this property
\nattractive for both established producers and buyers looking to expand their Montana ranch
\noperation. <\/span><\/p>\n


\nWildlife is abundant throughout the ranch. The combination of river frontage, oxbows,
\ncottonwood bottoms, and irrigated fields creates exceptional habitat for whitetail deer, upland
\ngame birds, and waterfowl. This is the kind of property where agricultural production and
\nrecreational enjoyment work hand in hand. Strong whitetail presence, duck habitat, pheasants,
\nand upland birds make this an outstanding Montana hunting property in addition to its farm and
\nranch value. <\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe homestead includes modest corrals, a barn, and an established ranch site, offering a
\npractical foundation for continued agricultural use or future improvements. The existing
\ninfrastructure provides functionality while allowing flexibility for a new owner\u2019s vision. <\/span><\/p>\n


\nIts location near Harlem provides convenient access to local agricultural services, markets, and
\ncommunity while maintaining the privacy and usability of a true working ranch. The Milk River
\nValley is well known for productive irrigated ground, strong cattle country, and recreational
\nopportunities that continue to drive demand for quality land holdings. <\/span><\/p>\n


\nCottonwood Bend Ranch represents a rare opportunity to acquire a large-scale irrigated
\nfarm and ranch property with significant live water, grazing capacity, and exceptional wildlife
\nhabitat in North Central Montana. For buyers seeking Montana ranch land for sale with Milk
\nRiver frontage, irrigated acres, and long-term investment stability, this property stands apart. <\/span><\/p>\n
