Property Description
The Wolfe Hereford Red Rock River Ranch is a 2,080-acre high production operation that includes 840 deeded acres along with a combined 1,240 acres of State and BLM grazing lease. Located near Dell, MT sitting at 6,004' of elevation, the ranch combines senior water rights, high alpine grass, and good stocking density to provide the owner with a high quality stand-alone ranch or a wonderful addition to an already existing operation.
Historically the Ranch has run 400 AUM, and 700 AUM throughout the seasons with added summer grazing. The lush flood irrigated hay meadows produce rich, dense grasses that pack on pounds. Around 500 of the 840 deeded acres are irrigated, with 420 being under flood irrigation and 80 acres watered by wheel line. Owner stated production of 2 tons of hay per acre provide ample winter grazing feed. Irrigation and stock water rights are procured from the Red Rock River as well as Wolfe Springs. High flow rates and senior water right positions help keep the ranch green and in production.
The Red Rock River flows through the property for about 1.5 miles. Known as one of the best fisheries in Montana the Red Rock contains some of the biggest brown and rainbow trout in the state. Not only are the fish good sized, but they rarely see any fishing pressure. Limited access to this stretch of the river makes it hard for the general public to wet a fly. Wolfe Springs traverses about 2,000' from its source just outside the property boundary and tumbles into the Red Rock just downstream of the house.
The ample water features also attract ducks and geese. Flocks of birds take up residence on the ranch and when the cold weather hits, the spring water attracts migrating birds throughout the season. White-tailed deer bed up in the river bottom and feed out into the hay fields, and the occasional elk and moose also call this ranch home.
A modest ranch house was built in 1912 and has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. An updated furnace and new fireplace keep it warm and cozy in the winter. The home rests above Wolf Springs and new flooring has been laid on the main floor creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A hired hand or guest quarters is operational for staff or guests.
Working corrals and additional ranch infrastructure, along with improved fencing, easy swinging gates, and end of the road privacy make the Wolfe Hereford Red Rock River Ranch one of the nicest and refined ranches to hit the market in Montana in some time.
