Haskill
Mountain Ranch (HMR) is comprised of a total of 2,130 acres,
approximately 17 miles from downtown Kalispell to the front entrance.
The entrance is a large log accented bridge over Mount Creek which
flows year around. The property is the largest contiguous land holding
in northwest Montana and encompasses the highest privately owned
mountain peak (Haskill Mountain) from Kalispell to the Idaho border.
Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks has designated this property as Big
Game Winter Range. Two timber companies selectively logged this
property opening it up wonderfully for farm and ranch operations. The
property is bordered by an 800 acre cattle ranch which is the only
privately owned neighbor. The other neighboring properties include a
section of Montana State Land, thousands of acres of Flathead National
Forest and Plum Creek Timber who has an open lands policy. Since
Montana is an open range state, all of these acres, that are suitable,
will allow cattle to graze effectively increasing the size of
productive ranch land.
Three wells have been drilled on the Ranch varying in depths of
between 550 and 900 feet. A water quality and availability analysis
was completed showing more than adequate supply for ranch and farming
operations.
About 8 miles of roads have been completed through the property to
provide primary access to all parts of HMR. Primary power and phone
conduits are in the ground and are sufficient to service the property.
The project has it own onsite gravel pit so haul distances for road
construction are kept to a minimum. The insitu soil and rock
conditions are such that very little pit run is necessary for road
construction making access to all the Ranch easy for year-round
operations.
The Montana Land Reliance toured the property and said it was an
excellent candidate for a conservation easement which would still
allow ranch and farm operations. Their web page explains the
advantages of a conservation easement being applied to all or only a
part of Haskill Mountain Ranch.
