Montana Ranching Legacy
The historic 1,000 acre Angelus Ranch near Missoula, Montana is a true ag production property with extensive circa 1800’s water rights epitomizing the dream of the West.
Set at the base of the Bitterroot Mountains, the Angelus Ranch is a working cattle operation spanning just over 1,000 acres in one of Montana’s most productive valleys. Located outside of Stevensville with quick access to Hamilton and Missoula, the property offers the rare combination of privacy, functionality, and proximity—close enough to town when needed, far enough out to get real work done.
The ranch is made up of five separate parcels and supports a fully self-sustaining hay operation that feeds its year-round cattle program. Water is plentiful, with a deep bank of historic irrigation and stock water rights—some dating back to the late 1800s—sourced from Kootenai Creek, Bass Creek, and Brooks Creek. Multiple ponds, established pasture, and a network of irrigation keep the land productive season after season.
On the operational side, there are three large barns, plenty of space for equipment and livestock, and infrastructure that reflects decades of practical use. This is a true generational ranch—well-managed, no fluff, and built to last.
The home, originally constructed in 1931, has been well cared for and retains its original farmhouse character. It spans 3,258 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Large windows bring in natural light and frame sweeping views of the Bitterroots and the ranch below. Hardwood floors run throughout. A generous mudroom/utility room serves daily needs, while a fireplace and a woodstove add warmth and function. A two-car garage includes upper-level storage space for gear or tools.
Angelus Ranch is more than acreage—it’s a rare, ready-to-go operation with the water, infrastructure, and setting to support the next generation of land stewards.
The few fortunate families who have owned the Angelus Ranch have raised, crops, cattle, and kids on foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Montana. Riding its ridges and hayfields are a trip back in time when the West was majestic and raw.
