Land for Sale in Saco, Montana

400± Deeded Acres | 264± Flood Irrigated Acres | Phillips

County, Montana

The Taylor North Irrigated Property encompasses 400± deeded acres, including 264± acres of productive flood-irrigated hay ground located in

Phillips County, Montana. With established Garrison grass fields, irrigation water supplied through the Malta Irrigation District, and Beaver Creek winding through the property, this tract offers a valuable combination of forage production, grazing opportunities, and reliable water resources.

The irrigated acreage has historically produced approximately 1.5 to 2 tons of Garrison grass hay per acre from a single annual cutting. The property is currently leased, with the tenant harvesting one cutting of hay before utilizing the fields for grazing during the remainder of the season. This combination of hay production and seasonal grazing provides flexibility for livestock operators seeking to expand their forage base or secure additional pasture.

Irrigation water is supplied through the Malta Irrigation

District, with historically modest annual water costs. In 2025, irrigation expenses totaled approximately $218 for one irrigation, compared to $572 in

2024 for two irrigations. Beaver Creek traverses the property, contributing to its natural character and agricultural appeal.

Originally homesteaded by the Taylor and Able families in the late 1800s, the property has remained in the same family for more than a century. Generations of agricultural stewardship have preserved its productive land base, creating an opportunity for the next owner to continue its longstanding ranching tradition.

With 264± irrigated acres, established hay production, and additional grazing opportunities, the Taylor North Irrigated Property is well suited for an existing livestock operation seeking to expand its hay base or an agricultural buyer looking for productive irrigated acreage in northeastern

Montana.
