This Montana farm, ranch, and recreational property is comprised of 3,384.00 +/- deeded acres and 802.07 +/- acres under a transferable DNRC lease for a total of 4,186.07 +/- acres. This collective farm consists of 5 separate, but closely situated, farms that are being sold as a single asset only. The offering is located northeast of Geraldine, in Montanas Golden Triangle.
There is a total of 1,976.93 +/- cropland acres included, broken down as follows: 1,827.19 +/- deeded cropland acres per the Chouteau County Farm Service Agency and 149.74 +/- leased cropland acres from the State of Montanas Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC).

The farm is currently operated under a verbal lease agreement with a local farm tenant. The tenant is responsible for all operations costs, while the landowner is responsible for all property taxes. The historical crop rotation has included winter wheat, barley, peas, and oil seeds. The cropland acres are operated under a three-year summer fallow rotation, with approximately 1/3 of the farm in fallow each year. The current tenant would welcome the opportunity to continue to lease and operate this farm for a new owner on a long-term basis.
The tenant runs approximately 75 pairs year-round on the rangeland acres. There are approximately 3 +/- miles of seasonal creek flow, 11 stock dams, and 3 +/- miles of water lines from a domestic well that feed 9 stock tanks. In addition, the creek and rangeland acres used for cattle grazing provide excellent habitat for upland birds, waterfowl, mule deer, and various other species, offering a great opportunity for hunting rights on the farm.
