Working Ranch Treasured by Family and Community
The Potter Ranch is one of the last working ranches of its size in the Helena Valley. The cattle and hay operation is located in the rugged Spokane Hills and adjacent to 6,000 acres of public lands. It’s visible throughout the valley, so this conservation easement protects one of the defining open spaces of the Prickly Pear region.
Open Space Protects East Helena
The Potter family worked together for generations to build a large ranching operation. Doug and Ronda Potter wanted to protect the land from subdivision both for their family legacy and for the community. The rugged landscape provides a wildlife buffer for nearby East Helena and protects valuable water resources.
