New to the market is this 95+/- acre irrigated hay property
located just outside of Saco, Montana, with excellent access from both Highway
2 and Dehy Road. The property offers a combination of flood irrigated and
dryland acreage, making it well-suited as an investment property or hay base
for a larger agricultural operation.
Approximately 51+/- acres are flood irrigated, with water
rights provided by the Malta Irrigation District. The irrigated acres have most
recently been planted to haybet barley, which produced 94, 1500 pound bales
last year with minimal irrigation. An additional 30 +/- acres were broken in
2014 and seeded to Garrison grass, producing 130 bales with 200 pounds of
fertilizer in 2025.
The property is easily accessible year-round, with direct
frontage along Highway 2 as well as Dehy Road, providing the potential for
commercial development if desired. A three-phase power line crosses the
property, offering future utility potential, although power is not currently
developed on-site.
The southwest corner of the property presents a particularly
functional site for improvements. With access from two sides and its location
adjacent to the Saco Dehy, this area would lend itself well to a homesite, hay
yard, auction yard, or small feedlot operation.
This is a well-located parcel offering irrigation, access,
and development potential. With smaller acreage properties suited for
agricultural production becoming increasingly difficult to find, this is one
worth considering.
