Montana Ranches for Sale

Montana has three geographic regions with very distinctive climates and natural resources. Each region offers different recreational and ranching opportunities.

1. Western Montana is characterized by its tall mountains, winding rivers, and abundant forests. The space between the mountains is fertile which can be used for agricultural production. The largest city in this region is Missoula with a population of approximately 75,000 people. There are many smaller and medium-sized towns in Western Montana. The mountains in this region are rich in gold, silver, and copper. Another characteristic of Western Montana is that it sees more rainfall than any of the other regions in the state.
2. Central Montana has a diverse landscape that includes plains and mountains. This region of Montana is the most characteristic of what most of us imagine as “classic Montana”.  Wide open spaces, small populations, and an overall rural way of life. Lewistown is located within this region which is Montana’s geographic center. It is also home to one of the nation’s purest water supplies. This region of Montana is also home to its largest rivers: the Missouri River and the Yellowstone River. The soil in this religion is primarily Scobey soil. The well-drained and deep nature of the soil makes this area greatly suitable for agricultural and ranching use.
3. Eastern Montana is often characterized as dry and windy. This region contains mostly rolling hills and wide open spaces as well as badlands. The temperatures here are more drastic than any of the other regions in that state. In the winter, the temperatures are colder and in the summer the temperatures are warmer than in the other areas of the state. This area is rich in coal and natural gas as well as buffalo, cattle, and sheep.
