About this property

Broken Heart Ranch stands as a quintessential Montana legacy property. Homesteaded in the late 1800's, this secluded mountain ranch spans 80 acres, encircled entirely by U.S. Forest Service and State lands. The main residence, built in 1924, is a square-hewn log structure of 2400 sq ft, features an expansive open floor plan ideal for hosting. It has been modernized with updated plumbing and electrical systems while preserving its original stone fireplace. The covered porch offers panoramic views of the pasture and mountains, where a variety of wildlife including elk, moose, deer, and turkey, roam freely and call the ranch home. Accompanying the main house is a contemporary 1200 sq ft log guest house with two bedrooms, loft, and bathroom. "Cabin 6," a charming, vintage creek-front cabin, provides a serene wilderness retreat with complete amenities. Three additional rustic guest cabins are thoughtfully positioned across the grounds. The property also houses a historic log barn, echoing the charm of the old west, a modern four-car garage, and a quaint cottage-style greenhouse. Broken Heart became a working dude ranch and hunting lodge in the 1950's. Back then the lodgers were offered horseback rides, campfire cookouts, hunting trips, and summer rodeos were held on the property. Folklore suggests the ranch may have been a still site during prohibition. Today, thousands of acres of public lands border the ranch, offering extensive backcountry adventures on foot or horseback right from your doorstep. Recreational amenities include an 18-hole disc golf course, several campfire rings, and a small private pond, perfect for gatherings, exploring, and adventure. The recreational possibilities are boundless, with proximity to Clark Fork River for fishing and rafting, Silver Mountain skiing, hunting, hiking, snowmobiling, and various outdoor activities. Broken Heart Ranch promises ultimate seclusion with its end of the road privacy, nestled roughly an hour from both Missoula, MT, and Coeur d'Alene, ID, with convenient I-90 access. This distinctive estate is ideal for a family retreat, an Airbnb venture, or a personal sanctuary to relish the tranquility of western Montana.
