Worden, MT 59088 - Yellowstone County

Situated along the banks of the Yellowstone River just 25 minutes from Billings lies this well-balanced estate offering something for everyone. The nicely constructed, low-maintenance home is perfect for those wanting to spend their time recreating or traveling instead of maintaining an oversized residence, while the shop, sheds, and barn make for a perfect year-round equine oasis or farmstead. Twenty-one acres of premier irrigated ground produced 6 Tons per acre of alfalfa hay, creating an excellent hay base or income for the owner. Nearly a quarter mile of low-bank, highly usable river frontage provides an incredibly unique opportunity to own your own sand beach that you can even launch and dock your boat at. Fishing is fantastic much of the year for numerous species while large whitetail bucks can be drawn from dense cover into the established food plot areas in the fall. Rare and unique are the words that best describe it here.

The Home:

The home is a solidly built "Barndominium" style structure featuring 2 beds, 2 full baths, and an office or bonus room that would make a great spare bedroom. At 2,400 square feet of living space the house provides ample space, soaring ceilings, quality finishes, forced air heat and air conditioning, a gas fireplace and all the modern amenities one would expect, including the primary bedroom and laundry on the main level. Attached to the home is a 2,000 Square foot fully heated and finished shop with an oversized door that you could pull your machinery in to work on if you desired. The home and shop were built for functionality and ease of maintenance which would bode perfectly for snowbirds or those wanting to focus their efforts on other things.

The outbuildings:

The property's outbuildings would serve most any owner well, regardless of their needs. The large hay shed is perfect for storing winter hay and could easily be enclosed if another full shop was desired. A small tack shed, modest set of corrals, and additional sheds round out the storage on the place.

The ground:

Twenty-one acres of highly productive and well-managed irrigated ground is planted to Roundup-ready alfalfa and produced 6 Tons per acre on three cuttings last year. The irrigation is fed by gated pipe, which transfers with the sale, and some newer ditch infrastructure for ease of use. The owner states that having plenty of water has never been in question and that the field irrigates nicely toward the river. This is a clean field that has been well maintained and would serve any producer well. Roughly 1 acre is dedicated to the homesite with the remaining being the riverbottom portion of the farm. The riverbottom has been extensively improved over the years and could be used for a number of things depending on the new owner's goals. Currently a roughly one-acre farmed portion of the riverbottom has been used as an area for horse training and roping practice, while the previous owner had the area set to an impressive alfalfa food plot to hunt whitetail over. If food plots and hunting were of importance, the bottom has multiple areas which have been previously cleared and would make excellent habitat improvement locations.

The River:

Boasting roughly 1/4 mile of highly usable river frontage, this property claims one of the most unique features in the area, a beautiful natural sand beach complete with a firepit for total relaxation. In previous years the owner has even rented the camping area next to the beach on websites such as hipcamp for considerable extra income. Fishing from the beach is excellent much of the year for numerous species including bass, catfish, ling, and the occasional brown or rainbow trout. A jet boat could easily be launched and remained docked on the beach throughout the summer for ease of access to all that the rest of the Yellowstone offers, including the thousands of acres of huntable public land that lies directly across the river. This portion of the river is lightly used and is an angler and waterfowl hunters paradise.

In general, this property has the resources to make most any owner happy, regardless of their focus. Whether as an escape from the craziness of city life, a recreational summer getaway, homesite for a larger operation or equine oasis, you, your animals and your dreams will fit right in here.
