Nearly 100 Acres on Rock Creek near Red Lodge
Joliet, Carbon County, Montana
Offered for the first time in 4 generations, the Mydland Farm on Rock Creek is a legacy property adorned with water and wildlife, and teaming with potential for its new owner. The south portion features a quarter-mile of premier Rock Creek frontage, a meandering spring creek, sloughs, and riparian habitat home to whitetail, pheasant, moose, cranes, and many more. The north portion is dedicated to agriculture and boasts roughly 31 acres of premier irrigated farm ground, a 5-acre horse pasture planted to grass hay, and a high-producing orchard. Much of the untapped potential here lies in the south section. Currently in pasture, this part of the farm features between 10 and 15 acres of level, cleared, bottom ground traversed by an untapped spring creek, with the majority being out of the floodplain. The opportunities for this area are endless with the immediate ideas that come to mind being a wedding venue, luxury campground, private ponds, or managed foodplot location for the extensive wildlife population.
Due to the close proximity to Red Lodge (32 Miles), Yellowstone Park (96 Miles), and Billings (35 Miles), the opportunity for commercial development in the venue and hospitality space is tremendous. If your idea of development potential is more personal, then look no further, as one could choose from an array of homesites catered to their preferred view. Commanding views of the Beartooth Mountains and Rock Creek drainage are available throughout the property providing the new owner with their choice of mountain, river, orchard, or farm scenery.
Currently, many highly functional outbuildings are present, as well as the original farmhouse which is modest but clean and highly livable. Three large, metal storage buildings totaling roughly 17,000 square feet are in good shape and could serve numerous purposes depending on the owner’s intention with the property. An original wooden barn with a beautiful stone add-on is a fixture of the homesite and keeps the allure of the original farmstead.
North of the farmstead area lie two level areas which would make tremendous areas for riding arenas or horse facilities. The upper area near the home and orchard is roughly 100ft by 300 feet, nearly level, and would be easily worked into beautiful arena. The lower area had been used as a feedlot in the distant past, is roughly 100ft by 400 feet square and would also make an excellent arena or winter lot to feed livestock.
Rare is the opportunity to own a piece of Montana in this location, with this size, and with this kind of unlimited potential.
