Bass Fishing!!
National
Forest
This area of Northwest Montana is a recreational paradise with less than 10% private ground.
The majority of the surrounding area is either the Kootenai or Lolo National Forest lands. The
Clark Fork River runs at the base of the Cabinet and Bitterroot Mountains creating many
treed drainages flowing into the river. There are three hydro dams on the river providing power to much of the northwest and amazing reservoirs for boating and fishing. Rare
and endangered species find solace in a region representing the largest remaining intact
mountain ecosystem on earth. Visit www.y2y.net for more information. We live in an area
that co-exists with wildlife like few others in the world. We stop on the roads not for traffic,
but for big horn sheep, elk, deer, turkeys and other natives. Join us. It’s amazing.
Two Shadows Ranch encompasses 182+- acres of beautifully balanced mature timber, pasture
and hayground. The land lies in seven parcels, including a 100 acre subdivision with five 20 acre
parcels served by scenic and substantial access road, Two Shadows Lane. Resources include a
spring-fed pond, private rock pit, extensive firewood, mature timber, hayground and much more.
42 acres of the property includes a 1600’ rolled gravel runway with a high speed ramp, an asphalt parking ramp, and an insulated, heated aircraft hangar. A 6-stall wood-sided horse barn has Priefert stall
panels, doors and feeders. Heated and insulated , the tack room has a sink, hot water. There are stall
mats throughout as well as feed and hay storage up to 80 tons.
Two+ horse run-in shelters with lights, power and rain gutters provide horses cover in that occasional
Montana storm. Barnyard three stall parking and storage is provided for equipment, while an insulated
and heated shop with a large uninsulated storage room keeps dry those many seasonal recreational
toys necessary to the Montana lifestyle!

What makes the Yellowstone to Yukon region so special?
The Yellowstone to Yukon region represents the largest remaining intact mountain ecosystem on earth. It contains some of the
most spectacular landscapes in the world and holds a wide variety of wildlife, habitats and human communities and cultures. This region
provides the best remaining habitat for North America’s threatened or sensitive species including grizzly bears, wolves, wolverines, lynx
and native fish populations.
The vast lands of the Yellowstone to Yukon region will also give animal and plant species some of the space and resources
they need to adapt to changing climate conditions. It is one of the few places left in the world with the geographic variety and biological
diversity to help organisms adapt to a change of this magnitude.
The earth’s other mountain ecosystems such as the Himalayas, the Andes and the Alps have a long history of human occupation
and cultivation, which has irreversibly altered the natural processes of those mountain ecosystems. As a result, many of the large native
mammals and other endemic species have become extinct or are now endangered. Only since the late 1800’s have humans permanently
settled in the Rocky Mountains of North America. For this reason, the Rockies have so far escaped the intense development and occupation that has fragmented other mountain ecosystems. This is why it is so critical to maintain the Yellowstone to Yukon region – it is the
best opportunity to preserve one of the world’s last intact, ecologically healthy mountain systems.

Kootenai NF
Ranges of high craggy peaks mark the Forest with Snowshoe Peak in the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness at 8,738 feet, the highest
point. The Whitefish Range, Purcell Mountains, Bitterroot Range, Salish Mountains, and Cabinet Mountains are all part of the rugged terrain
radiating from the river valleys. In the north central part of the Forest, the land is more open with gently rolling timbered hills lying in the
shadows of the Whitefish Range.
The Forest is dominated by two major rivers, the Kootenai and the Clark Fork, along with several smaller rivers and their tributaries. Two hydroelectric dams on the Clark Fork have created the Cabinet Gorge and Noxon reservoirs within the Forest boundary. State
Highway 200 parallels these reservoirs as it crosses the Forest. The Kootenai River is spanned by another hydroelectric (and flood-control)
project, Libby Dam. This structure located about 17 miles upstream from Libby, Montana, has created Lake Koocanusa, a 90-mile-long
reservoir reaching northward into the Canadian Rockies. Lake Koocanusa is almost totally surrounded by national forest lands...no private
summer home or condominium developments here. State Highway 37 follows the east shore to Rexford and beyond to Eureka, Montana.
The elevation of the Kootenai River as it leaves the Forest and the State is 1,862 feet, the lowest point in Montana.
The Yaak, Fisher, Tobacco, and Vermillion Rivers are smaller rivers within the confines of the Forest. There are over 100 lakes
inside the boundaries of the Kootenai ranging from small alpine lakes to 1,240-acre McGregor Lake.
The climate of the Kootenai has been described as “modified Pacific maritime” in character, meaning that compared to the remainder of Montana, this area’s climate resembles that found along the Pacific coast. The character becomes “modified” by occasional
intrusions of the arctic air masses, more commonly found in the remainder of the State, which can bring winter temperatures down to -30°
F. with heavy snowfalls in the mountains. Average annual temperatures of 45° F. reflect the moderating influence of the Pacific air masses.
Summer temperatures are moderate with few days reaching over the 90° mark. The wet season in the Forest usually occurs in the fall and
early winter.
A light and open log home of 3,560 square feet, including a bright, fully finished basement is home on
this ranch. Cultured stone and brick bring the kitchen and fireplace distinctive flavor, as well as a hand
carved mantel of the ranch. The Xtrordinair firebox keep the living room fires burning. The kitchen
boasts a 48” dual fuel DCS range and double oven with custom brick surround and antique tile insert,
custom alder cabinets with seeded glass doors, a GE Profile panelized refrigerator, KitchenAid dishwasher and trash compactor, Absolute Black granite countertops with chiseled edge, reclaimed distressed
pine floors and a walk-in pantry with alder shelving and custom alder doors. Best of all, not a neighbor
is to be seen from the kitchen windows, just the horses, horse barn, air strip and hangar.
