Tucked above the alluvial benches on the west side of the Bitterroot Valley and below Lolo Peak lies a legendary recreational retreat full of potential for the adventurous. With its dozens of professionally designed ski runs and miles of hiking trails and two-track roads, it would be difficult to source a more unique opportunity so close to modern amenities. The Summit at Lolo Ranch, located minutes from Missoula, offers over 800 acres in two tracts. The ski hill boasts nearly 700 acres of mixed timber and meadow with both gentle and advanced runs. These may be used for private downhill skiing/snowboarding in the winter, then repurposed in the summer for other trail-oriented activities like mountain biking or horseback riding. With its stunning setting near McClain Creek and below some spectacular cliff faces, the approximately 109-acre base area offers more moderate topography suitable for a variety of residential or hospitality use profiles. Power, septic and water are in, making the site build-ready. In addition to recreation dedicated to gravity junkies, The Summit at Lolo Ranch is home to one of northern Bitterroot’s most notable elk herds, which are often seen on the property and in the surrounding areas. Mule and whitetail deer, coyotes, and bears also call the ranch home. If over 800 acres isn’t enough, the ranch shares a one-and-three-quarters-mile boundary with the Lolo National Forest, providing exclusive entry at nearly 6,200 feet in elevation. From that point, an owner will have unparalleled access to two mountain lakes, giving way to millions of acres of public land, including the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. Situated half an hour from vibrant Missoula, the property is near a full suite of amenities, including two regional hospitals, the University of Montana, a commercial airport, fine dining and shopping.
