Efficient and compact in a setting that rivals some of the best in the West, Hart Bench Ranch sets a new bar for what a hobby operation can be. Situated on an eponymous bench in the shadows of the Bitterroot Mountains’ most scenic peaks lies a near-perfect assemblage of irrigated meadows, riparian-influenced gullies, and a complete set of operational and residential improvements. With views of Trapper Peak and the most impressive prominences in the southern Bitterroot Range, the 2,895± square foot main home sits to the south of the Ranch’s improvement cluster.
