History & Heritage
Originally part of a 1,200-acre cattle ranch, this land was home to rancher Paul Heidegger and his family, who relocated from Washington in 1974. They ran 400 head of cattle and conducted annual cattle drives to 30,000 acres of grazing land near Bitterroot Lake—a testament to the authentic ranching legacy that still resonates here.

At the heart of the ranch sits a warm and inviting 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom farmhouse. Thoughtfully updated for comfort while preserving its rustic charm, the home offers breathtaking views of the Mission Mountains, sweeping pastures, Dry Fork Creek, and the tranquil waters of Dry Fork Reservoir. Whether you’re cooking in the spacious kitchen, relaxing in the cozy living room, or watching the sunrise from the front porch, this home exudes comfort, history, peace and solitude.
