Phillips County - 7729 Larb Creek Road, Saco, MT
A Productive, Self-Sustaining Phillips County Ranch
The Gary & Vivian Taylor Ranch encompasses more than 5,000 total acres, including 3,987 +/- deeded acres, and represents a highly functional livestock operation with the resources necessary to support a productive, self-sustaining ranching enterprise. Combining extensive native grazing acreage, irrigated pasture and hay ground, reliable year-round water resources, and a well-maintained home, the ranch offers the components owner-operators seek in a practical and efficient operation.
The deeded ranch acres include approximately 3,362 +/- native grazing acres, 355 +/- acres of improved pasture, previously in CRP, and 264 +/- flood irrigated acres. 400 BLM Acres in the North Third Creek Grazing Allotment, and a 640-acre State Section bring the total ranch acres to just over 5,000. The 5-acre homesite is situated to take advantage of the spectacular views overlooking Larb Creek and the surrounding ranch. Irrigation water is supplied through the Malta Irrigation District, supplemented by water rights from three Beaver Creek pump sites, providing flexibility in years of drought. Historically, the irrigated acres have been utilized as a hay base producing Garrison grass hay, grazed to increase carrying capacity, or managed as a combination of both depending on the ranch objectives.
Water resources are a significant asset to the ranch. Beaver Creek, Larb Creek, Second Creek, and Third Creek contribute to the property's water system, while reservoirs, stock water pits, and a developed spring provide water throughout the operation. Owner reports indicate a carrying capacity of approximately 175 cow/calf pairs.
The headquarters includes a well-maintained residence, constructed in 1977, featuring three bedrooms and two-and-one-half bathrooms on the main level, along with a full unfinished basement. Updates include a three-car attached garage, metal roof, vinyl windows, and underground sprinkler system. In addition, a second homesite located on the irrigated portion of the ranch, approximately two miles south of Saco along Larb Creek Road, offers electrical service and development potential for an additional residence, employee housing, or future operational improvements.
A well-known Sage Grouse lek located on the property highlights the quality of the native habitat and serves as a testament to the stewardship of the land over many decades. The combination of creek corridors, irrigated ground, native prairie, and water resources creates ideal conditions for a variety of wildlife species.
Mule deer, whitetail deer, and upland game birds and antelope are frequently observed throughout the ranch, providing excellent wildlife viewing and hunting opportunities.
The ranch has been operated and cared for by generations of the Taylor and Able families, whose homestead history on the property dates back to the early settlement of the region as some of the first homesteaders to put down roots in Phillips County. Today, the ranch remains a productive agricultural unit with the land base, water resources, forage production, and improvements necessary to support a successful cattle operation.

All the land surrounding this reservoir is owned by the United States Bureau of Reclamation. This cabin sits on a .16-acre lot leased from the Bureau of Reclamation with no immediate leased lots adjoining it. The lease has an annual fee of $452 and is renewed every 5 years to the current lease holder. I have had this cabin and lease for 22 years, while my closest neighbor have had their lease in their family for over 60 years passing from one generation to another. Cabins rarely come up for sale and when they do the lease transfers to the new cabin owner.
Nelson Reservoir is a premier fishery for walleye, yellow perch, and northern pike, and has black crappies, catfish, and other fish species as well. There are excellent birding, big game hunting, upland bird hunting, and waterfowl hunting opportunities on nearby public and private lands, many of which are managed specifically for wildlife and/or hunting.
This cabin sits on a small rise overlooking the lake with excellent views. The front of the cabin and porch faces the east so gets the morning sun and is shaded from the sun during the heat of the day later in the afternoon. The porch is also sheltered from the prevailing northwest winds. The cabin is close enough to the water so ice fishing tip-ups placed out front can be watched from the front window while playing cribbage or over a long lunch.
The mile or two drive into the cabin off the county road provides excellent wildlife viewing of waterfowl, shorebirds and the occasional group of antelope coming to the reservoir for water. Nelson Reservoir is a birding hotspot with 198 different bird species having been recorded here.
A short 15 minutes away is the Sleeping Buffalo Hot Springs resort and adjacent Buffalo Saloon and Prime 54 Steakhouse. This is the only commercial hot springs in Eastern Montana.
