7 Alegria Lane

Alegria Ranch is an extraordinary legacy property in Montana's coveted Madison Valley, offered for the first time in more than 45 years. Originally purchased from son of homesteader Sam Shelton, the ranch has been owned by only two families since the late 1800s.
Spanning 197+- deeded acres across eight parcels, the ranch features an exceptional 1.44 miles of frontage on the legendary Madison River, one of the world's premier blue-ribbon trout fisheries. Famous for its wild brown and rainbow trout, the Madison offers outstanding dry-fly, nymph, and streamer fishing. Owners enjoy private wade fishing, float in access, and a spring-fed pond with trophy trout. Standard Creek winds through the property, providing valuable irrigation water rights while enhancing wildlife habitat and scenic beauty.
Designed for year-round recreation, the ranch offers direct access to BLM and National Forest lands for hunting, horseback riding, hiking, and endless outdoor adventure. Additional amenities include a private shooting range with a clay target thrower and three strategically placed fire pits, perfect for gathering with family and friends while enjoying Montana's spectacular sunsets.
The improvements are equally impressive. A custom 6,000+- square-foot main residence which is complemented by an 1,800+- square-foot guest house and a 3600+- four-bedroom, four-bath manager's residence completed in 2020. A four-bay shop includes a vehicle lift, bathroom, bar area, studio apartment, and abundant storage. An equestrian barn, attached chicken coop, and cross-fenced pastures complete the ranch headquarters.
Modern conveniences include fiber-optic internet and backup generators for every residence and the shop. With no covenants or conservation easements, Alegria Ranch offers exceptional flexibility and privacy.
Whether envisioned as a private family retreat, a luxury sporting estate, or a legacy investment, Alegria Ranch is a rare opportunity to own one of the Madison Valley's premier riverfront ranches.
