ABC acres is a permaculture farm in the Bitterroot Valley of Western Montana. Sustainable food production, healthy living systems, and ecological design is what we are all about. Our chickens, goats, and newly buzzing honeybee populations are out on open pasture, eating, resting, pollinating and living the way nature intended.
Much like our livestock family, our vegetables, herbs, fruits and nuts are grown with the same approach. It’s a mixture of annuals and perennials intertwined with pollinator species, companion plantings, and multi-structured food forests…. nature’s way… a way of ensuring diversity, reducing disease, and increasing harvest for an overall healthy farm.
The Range View Cabin at ABC acres was built in 2019. Offering one dedicated bedroom, sofa bed, spacious and comfortable living space, and an open functional kitchen, Range View sits at over 1600 sqft. Built with 2x6 framing and non-toxic spray foam insulation, the structure boasts R-30 in the walls and over R-50 in the ceiling. The structure was built with no-VOC’s both inside and out, which speaks to the underlying theme of healthy environments that pervade the Farm estate. The space offers both forced heat and air conditioning for your comfort, via a mini-split system. Water supplied to the space originates from a well 90’ below the ground. To ensure a clean, healthy drinking / bathing experience, all water is routed through an iron filtration system then finally through an ‘Alive Water’ system to reinvigorate & re-energize the water at all points of use. On the exterior, a concrete seating area is situated on two sides for your viewing pleasure, while offering privacy from the farm entrance to the East.
The Range View Cabin is situated on the Eastern side of the farm which boasts the highest elevation offering sweeping views of the Bitterroot Mountain Range. Special attention was taken to construct windows to the South and West to maximize mountain views season to season. The yard, in its infancy, has been furnished with cedar lattice fencing and specific plantings to offer a more intimate outdoor setting to buffer the site of the adjacent old school building that sits to the West. (Be advised that there is a private business operating within a structure immediately to the West of the cabin. Operating hours are M-F 9-5. Even though close proximity to the cabin, ABC acres has taken every avenue to develop levels of privacy for the traveling guest.) As a guest of the farm, and from the comfort of the outdoor space, you may witness farm staff running pasture irrigation, elk & deer grazing the pastures at dusk, seasonal migrating raptors, and so much more. It is these on-farm experiences that give staying at Range View its charm.
Conveniently located just a few miles South of Hamilton, a short walk to the Bitterroot River, and bordered by picturesque farms and public lands, ABC acres provides an idyllic combination of wide-open spaces, wildlife, and outdoor adventure, while also remaining just minutes from the Valley’s small-town happenings.
Don’t hesitate to contact our Farm Stay Manager with any questions you might have, where/what you can explore, and how to best enjoy the abundance of on- and off-farm activities available. Beyond a place to simply rest your head, ABC acres is here to enhance your visit and help create memories for a lifetime.
