Located minutes from the rural community of Simms, Sun River Equestrian is a gem, offering both recreational and agricultural amenities. Encompassing ±116 acres, the ranch is a mix of irrigated farm ground , improved pasture and river-influenced riparian corridors, offering a variety of use profiles for both the ranching and sporting set. Water is a defining asset as the ranch offers over 1,300 feet Sun River frontage along the northern boundary with an additional 1,920 feet of both banks of Simms Creek, which supplies irrigation to the pivot and improved pasture. Currently operated as an equine breeding and training facility, the property is well suited to horses. Beyond the irrigated pastures, the ranch includes a full training complex with corrals, shelters, a lighted outdoor arena, a round pen and a foaling/calving barn. A recently remodeled, three-bedroom ranch home with an attached garage and detached shop completes the improvements. The ranch is perimeter and cross fenced throughout. Recreationally, the ranch delivers as well. It lies within Hunting District 444 and holds some of the best whitetail habitat available in the area, on top of its Sun River frontage. With Great Falls just 35 minutes away and Helena an hour and fifteen minutes out, Sun River Equestrian is as convenient as it is diverse.
The MU-20 District is intended to provide for exurban residential development and mixed uses along major transportation and amenity corridors. The District serves as a buffer zone between denser MU development and less dense, more intensive use in the A District.
