PROPERTY

OVERVIEW Starfire Farms | Churchill, Montana Starfire Farms offers a rare opportunity to own a substantial tract of irrigated land with creek frontage in the greater Bozeman area. With expansive views and versatile topography, the property presents a multitude of potential uses, including residential, agricultural, and recreational opportunities.

Starfire Farms offers a rare opportunity to own 165± contiguous acres of productive and scenic land located between Amsterdam and Churchill, Montana, just 20 minutes west of Bozeman. With panoramic views of the Spanish Peaks to the south and the Bridger Mountains to the northeast, this property combines expansive views with versatility. Unzoned and free of covenants, the land supports a wide range of potential uses, including residential, equestrian, agricultural, or future development. The property is divided into three separately deeded parcels, each offering unique features.

The largest tract, tract 5, totals approximately 82± acres and includes 45± acres of level, irrigated farmland, ideal for growing oats, barley, or seed potatoes. An additional 37± acres of gently sloping pastureland follow roughly 1,200 feet of Camp Creek. This parcel features multiple prime building sites, wide-open views, and convenient access from both Churchill and Camp Creek Roads. It’s well-suited for a private estate, working farm, or multihome development.

The second parcel, tract 4, consists of 46± acres, with approximately 30 acres of level, irrigated ground and 16 acres of rolling pasture. Elevated terrain provides excellent potential homesites with sweeping views and beautiful sunset exposure. Like the other tracts, this parcel is served by a shared water agreement with the Low Line Ditch Company, allowing for productive agricultural use alongside residential or equestrian development.

The third parcel, tract 3, totals 38± acres and features 29± acres of irrigated farmland along with 9± acres of gently sloping pasture. This tract offers excellent soil, multiple homesite options, and flexibility for a smaller farm, rural retreat, or part of a larger family compound.

All three tracts benefit from existing agricultural lease income and multiple access points, and the entire property lies within the Amsterdam/Churchill School District for elementary grades and Manhattan High School for secondary education. Manhattan Christian School, serving grades 1–12, is also located nearby.

Whether purchased individually or as a whole, Starfire Farms is a unique offering in the Gallatin Valley that combines location, views, and versatility in one of Montana’s most desirable regions.

BROKER INFORMATION

MEET THE BROKER

JIM TOTH Broker (406) 539-2550 jim@westernranchbrokers.com With 20 years of experience as a ranch broker, Jim Toth knows that land is worth more than just its physical assets.

With a career built in the agriculture business, private ranch management, and as one of the busiest outfitters in Western Montana, Jim knows the view from the saddle as well as the view from the office and how important they are to each other. But he just might not take off his boots in the conference room.

Jim also understands the value and importance of tillable acreage, how cattle stocking rate affects rangelands, the ins-and-outs of water rights, habitat management, and a lot more. Along with a desire to get to know a prospective seller or buyer, Jim’s ability to gauge a property’s values and understand the desires of a buyer is a large part of his success–the rest of his successes are the result of his approachable and personable demeanor.

Always willing to share a favorite fishing hole or be the one to buy the first round, Jim finds that nearly all of his clients come to him first through business but then remain as friends.

In 1991, he opened the Grizzly Hackle fly shop in Missoula, a brand that became synonymous with fly fishing in Southwest Montana. When his fishing clients started turning to him for help buying Montana ranches of their own, ranch brokering became a logical next step in his career. In 2002, he sold the fly shop and dedicated all of his time to ranch brokerage, eventually founding Western Ranch Brokers.

Jim and his wife Cassandra spend time on their small ranch outside of Belgrade, Montana. When not fishing or riding their horses, they enjoy traveling the West to visit their adult children.
