48945 Valley View Road, Large Ponds, Ronan

K9’s Cloud 9 is an 80-acre ranch in the Round Butte area — a region respected among field trial professionals for its terrain, climate, and varied water features. Built with intention and performance in mind, the property reflects the standards serious competitors expect, offering infrastructure designed for advanced retriever training while embracing the Montana sporting lifestyle. Set in a quiet rural setting with spectacular views in every direction, the custom home overlooks a six+ acre pond rich with bird life. Five additional ponds - including two H-ponds - are strategically positioned across the property, complemented by multiple training mounds and gated access points. Wheel-line irrigation supports productive grass hay ground, adding agricultural value. The residence blends craftsmanship and comfort. A gourmet kitchen features top-tier appliances, a 15-foot granite island, and knotty alder cabinetry. Two ensuite bedrooms include luxury granite showers, while exposed post-and-beam construction and wood finishes create an inviting atmosphere throughout. A breezeway connects to an oversized two-car garage with fully self-sufficient guest quarters above — ideal for visiting handlers or extended stays. The 40’ x 60’ insulated barn is a professional-grade facility with radiant floor heat and double-wall construction. The kennel room includes six indoor/outdoor runs with access to a one-acre airing yard and is fully equipped with climate control, bathroom, washer, and dryer. Three RV pads provide guest hookups, and a separate metal building houses bird pens and equipment storage. With large acreage and quality infrastructure, the ranch is adaptable for equestrian use or as a private Montana residence. Accessed by county-maintained asphalt roads, the property is divided into 3 parcels - 40 acres with improvements and two additional 20-acre parcels - providing long-term flexibility and investment protection.
