SWITCHBACK RANCH

Switchback Ranch encompasses +/- 840 acres just outside Alberton, MT. The property combines scale, timber, and direct access to public land in one of Western Montana’s most scenic corridors.

An unimproved easement road provides access, and upkeep is the responsibility of the owner.

The land itself is a mix of steep timbered slopes and usable benches, with many offering elevated views of the Clark Fork River. Power is nearby, so the new owner can choose to extend utilities or build off-grid. 

Locals recognize this historic timberland for its strong wildlife habitat, with elk, mule deer, black bear, mountain lions, and upland birds regularly moving through. Two year-round creeks, Adams Creek and a small section of West Mountain Creek, flow through portions of the ranch.

The property borders Lolo National Forest to both the north and south. The result is direct access to thousands of acres of public ground for extended hunting, hiking, and recreation. Recreational opportunities extend beyond the property line as the nearby Clark Fork River is renowned for trout fishing, floating, and whitewater rafting through the Alberton Gorge.

Switchback Ranch is minutes from the town of Alberton and just 30 minutes from Missoula and Missoula International Airport, making it both connected and wild at scale.
