NHN Maclay Road

Thoughtfully overseen by the same family for over four generations, the Maclay Ranch is a 918 deeded-acre ranch property located at the doorstep of the vibrant city of Missoula. Set on a landscape rich in scenic beauty, the ranch spans nearly 2.5 miles from east to west and is a significantly large holding for the region. Lush, irrigated meadows make up the lower portions of the ranch before the topography slopes upwards through rolling foothills and into a mosaic of upland forest. The connectivity from the valley floor to high-elevation timber creates ecological diversity and a critical corridor for a wide range of wildlife.The ranch provides excellent opportunities for both wildlife viewing and hunting and is adjacent to public lands that are otherwise difficult to access. Resident and migratory elk frequent the ranch, and whitetail and mule deer are plentiful. Other wildlife includes wild turkeys, grouse, foxes, coyotes, black bears, songbirds, raptors, and waterfowl. The ranch benefits from valuable water resources and historic water rights for irrigation and stock. The Maclay-Lolo Ditch runs through the property, and much of the agricultural lands are riparian in nature. The Maclay Ranch is a bare land offering, allowing a new owner a blank canvas and numerous building site locations to take in the mountain views. Large parcels like this one are not readily available so close to the cultural and recreational amenities of a thriving city. Maclay Ranch offers plenty of solitude and spectacular potential for those looking to enjoy life on the ranch while having access to all Missoula has to offer.
