Switchback Ranch | 840 Acres | Mineral County, MT Switchback Ranch encompasses 840 acres just outside Alberton, MT, combining scale, timber, and direct access to public land in one of Western Montana’s most scenic corridors. Access is via an unimproved easement road, with upkeep the responsibility of the owner. The land itself is a mix of steep timbered slopes and usable benches—many offering elevated views of the Clark Fork River. Power is nearby, though not yet brought onto the property, leaving buyers the choice to extend utilities or build off-grid. Two year-round creeks—Adams Creek and a small section of West Mountain Creek—flow through portions of the ranch. This historic timberland is locally recognized for its strong wildlife habitat, with elk, mule deer, black bear, mountain lions, and upland birds regularly moving through. The property borders Lolo National Forest to both the north and south, giving direct access to thousands of acres of public ground for extended hunting, hiking, and recreation. Recreational opportunities extend beyond the property line. The Clark Fork River runs nearby, renowned for trout fishing, floating, and whitewater through the Alberton Gorge. The ranch is minutes from the town of Alberton and just 30 minutes from Missoula and Missoula International Airport, making Adams Creek Hunting Ranch both connected and wild at​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​ scale.
