Welcome to Riverbell Ranch, a rare and exceptional offering in Montana’s Bitterroot Valley. With nearly one mile of pristine Bitterroot River frontage, this 170 acre legacy estate blends luxury, privacy, and natural beauty in an ideal location just minutes from a paved road and about 40 minutes from Missoula. The Bitterroot River—renowned as one of the nation’s top fly-fishing streams—forms the ranch’s boundary, while the dramatic Bitterroot and Sapphire Mountains provide an ever-present, awe-inspiring backdrop. Set within the valley’s mild climate and vibrant ecosystem, Riverbell Ranch is a gateway to endless outdoor recreation including world-class fly fishing, hunting, horseback riding, rafting, hiking, snowmobiling, and skiing. The property is also near premier destinations such as Montana Snowbowl, Lost Trail Pass Ski Area, the exclusive Stock Farm Club, and multiple national parks. At the heart of the ranch is a masterfully crafted log home where rustic elegance meets refined comfort. Towering timbers, vaulted ceilings, and expansive windows fill the residence with light and frame panoramic mountain views. A monumental 400-ton, double-sided river rock fireplace anchors the open-concept living and dining areas. The gourmet kitchen features a Viking range, custom cabinetry, premium appliances, and a large central island for both cooking and gathering. The owner's suite overlooks serene ponds and mountain scenery and includes its own fireplace and spa-inspired en-suite bath. Two additional guest suites, a home office with full bath, private guest quarters with a separate entrance, and a spacious three-car garage provide ample comfort and flexibility. Outdoor living is elevated with a large patio and wood-fired pizza oven, ideal for alfresco dining under Montana’s vast skies. Impeccable landscaping, tranquil ponds, and meandering waterways surround the home, creating a peaceful oasis. For equestrians, Riverbell Ranch features a well-maintained riding arena, irrigated pastures, and extensive trails, while natural forested areas attract abundant wildlife and game birds. Additional improvements include a self-contained three-bedroom caretaker’s cabin and a versatile one-bedroom barn apartment complete with a small kitchen and full bath—ideal for guests, rental income, or creative use. Multiple outbuildings and utility structures add to the property’s functionality and potential. Riverbell Ranch is more than a property—it’s a lasting legacy in one of the most coveted corners of Montana, where unmatched riverfront, wide-open land, and refined living come together in perfect harmony.
