Destination Montana Dream - Belly Acres

The Possibilities Historically, this tranquil expanse has served as a cherished site to escape life in town as a private family campground. Over the last 75 years, the owners have spent countless hours working with tractors, skid steers, and other equipment to clear the brush and dead trees from the land. The property was plowed, disked, and leveled to allow the planting of native grasses that are easily maintained and mowed. Thirty years ago, the property underwent a major upgrade to the infrastructure. First, a new water well was drilled and developed. Because it was an artesian flowing well, a well house was required to be built over the top to prevent freezing in the winter months. Six separate 2” water lines were trenched at 6 feet deep, each connected to a manifold attached to the well inside the well house with four lines going north and two lines south. One of the two southbound lines travels to the cabin and two RV hookups in the original campground next to the cabin. The second line goes to a future building site for an elevated house or wedding venue building adjoining this campground and park area that has the creek on three sides of it. The four water lines going north supply: 1) the upper home build site with its own RV hook up; 2) the four-yard hydrants and sprinkler curb stops for the one acre of underground sprinkler systems that water the upper lawns. One of the yard hydrants is paired with an RV dump station next to the road that has never been utilized; 3) Going to a hydrant and curb stop on an upper build site for a shop of whatever building one might want to put on this one acre elevated area; 4) Continues further west to supply the rustic barn and corral area stopping at another yard hydrant and sprinkler curb stop. Lines 2, 3, and 4 are accompanied by the low-voltage sprinkler control wires that are run to the sprinkler control computer in the well house.

Abundant Water Beaver Creek provides a variety of activities, including floating, recreational play, treasure hunting, and fishing. The banks have been developed to facilitate walking along the water's edge, and the surrounding shrubs and bushes have been trimmed to enhance access to the soothing waters. Additionally, the property features an artesian flowing well and a comprehensive 2-inch water distribution system. Underground sprinklers ensure the property can remain well-irrigated and verdant.

Utilities and Infrastructure on Belly Acres • Artesian flowing well and 6 – 2” water supply lines • Natural gas from Northwestern Energy is plumbed to both the upper building site and its workshop. A second small separate line is plumbed to the well house and rustic cabin in the campground area • Farm tap free natural gas lines plumbed to upper workshop and on to well house and rustic cabin in campground • Electrical: 3 separate underground 200-amp services, each with additional underground distribution lines • US West underground phone lines supplied to upper build site workshop and to the well house • Upper build site: sewer collection system from modular hook up and rv pad to septic tank and on to drain field • Lower build site: collection system from rustic cabin and two rv pad locations to septic tank for pumping • Extensive underground sprinkler systems covering multiple areas on the property supplying controlled water to both the upper and lower build sites plus the campground and park area. Both the east property fence and most of the north property line are supplied with sprinkler heads every 10 ft. to supply water for tree lines. The upper shop build site and the barn and corral area are set up for controlled sprinkler systems from the well house. Water Lines The installation of water lines, complete with curb stops and low-voltage control wires, is now finalized, facilitating the addition of sprinkler systems to the western portions of the property. The entire eastern property line, along with half of the northern boundary, is currently equipped with six sprinkler lines and heads. These installations are designed to irrigate and support the growth of a perimeter shelter belt, effectively creating a natural barrier that separates Belly Acres from the surrounding environment. Sewer Systems The property is further enhanced by two distinct sewer systems. The first system services the upper modular home site, which includes RV hookups and is fully equipped with a drain field. Additionally, this system features an optimal RV dump station, complemented by a water hydrant that has yet to be utilized. This line can receive sewage from the lower system, should a pump be installed to connect the two sewer systems. The second sewer system is situated within the original campground and park area. It manages sewage from the rustic cabin and two RV hookup sites. Furthermore, a fourth sewer line is plumbed toward the future construction site, ready to accommodate sewage from any building erected at this prime location designated for an elevated structure.
