Do I want a recreation
or working Ranch?
Is your ranch dream 40 acres with fantastic views and close
to civilization, or do you want to run cattle, harvest hay and
market mineral rights and hunting licenses?
What are the water rights and issues?
A water right is a property right, but if you don't use it, you
lose it. Make sure you understand "first in time, first in right"
when evaluating your water resources.
What do I need to know about access and
bordering property?
Make sure you understand the ranch's easement, access
and boundary issues. Knowing your neighbors and their
rights may save you a great deal of aggravation and stress.
Is the location of the ranch right for me?
Montana is the fourth largest state. There is an incredible
amount of land...and distance...between points. How remote
do you want to be? As Tom Brokaw told Dave Letterman:
"You want three things: You want water, you wanna be near
an airport and you don't wanna be too remote."
What Improvements will I have to make?
There are many hidden costs to ranch ownership, from
repairing old buildings to restoring the land. Thoroughly assess
the cost of improvements and management and factor that
into your decision process...and the price you will pay.
