We all want our piece of Montana, the land, the mountains, and the Big Sky. This is your opportunity to have just that. A piece of Montana. The combination of water and lush cover affords a very prolific and protective habitat for a variety of wildlife. Among the species found on the property are owls, waterfowl, pheasants, Sharp-tailed grouse, Hungarian partridge, Sandhill Cranes, Common Snipe, Killdeer plovers and Whitetail deer. The waterfowl consists primarily of Mallards, Green and Blue winged teal, Cinnamon teal, Canadian geese, and the occasional pintail ducks. The fish of many local (and now national) tall tales are found in the waters of Ben Hart Creek and Thompson Creek. The rainbow and brown trout hiding in these spring creeks are legendary, “For years, fly-fishing magazines would run photos of grinning anglers trundling huge sagging-bellied fish caught ‘in a Secret Montana Spring Creek.’ As often as not, those pictures were take here at Milesnick’s MZ Bar Ranch.” So writes Jeff Hull in his article on Montana Spring Creeks featured in the July/October ‘04 issue of Fly, Rod, and Reel magazine. This property has tremendous water amenities; two ponds, two spring creeks and one irrigation ditch! Thompson Creek, known for it’s “blue ribbon” fly fishing, flows through the northeast portion of the property. Ben Hart Creek and an un-named irrigation ditch originate on the property. The headwater for Ben Hart Creek is a 17’ deep trout pond which offers great fishing. The un-named irrigation ditch originates from the waterfowl pond. The 170 acres are comprised of seven 20 acre lots and one 30 acre lot. The Thompson Creek property is an excellent candidate for a conservation easement.
