Land with Home for Sale in Deer Lodge, Montana

Located in the heart of the Deer Lodge Valley, this exceptional 520.5+/- acre ranch offers a rare combination of productive agricultural land, first-class livestock facilities, quality water rights, and spectacular 360-degree mountain views. Approximately 364.5+/- acres are irrigated under three center pivots, with updated sprinkler packages on two of the pivots.
