About this home
Land in the coveted Elkhorn Mountains of Montana bordering National Forest with a cabin site, elk and deer hunting, bighorn sheep, trees, and amazing views. This great 20 acres of land actually borders National Forest land within the Helena National Forest. I say "actually" because it’s extremely rare to find land like this out in the Elkhorn Mountains, bordering the National Forest. The Elkhorns are a highly sought-after mountain range because of their big elk and lots of elk. People come from all over to hunt Elkhorns and search for elk sheds in the spring because the elk and the country are so phenomenal. This is one of those unique opportunities to own land in the Elkhorn Mountains that you’ll look back on for decades to come and be glad you seized the opportunity to buy this property. The elk get so big here, and they’re so well-known because the bull tags are on a limited draw. This allows the age structure to be higher, the bulls to be bigger, and for there to be more of them. That’s all part of what makes the shed hunting in the spring so good here. There are cow elk hunting opportunities in the Elkhorns, along with additional second cow tags you can draw, as well as deer to keep you busy hunting throughout the season. The property not only borders the National Forest, but you’re way out in the National Forest, so you can just take off in literally any direction and have tens of thousands of acres of National Forest lands to hunt, hike, and recreate on. There’s a system of roads throughout the Elkhorns for driving and ATVing, and hiking trails that provide lots of access and opportunities. It’s an outdoorsman’s dream come true. The Elkhorn Mountains are so picturesque, with their rolling topography and open parks framed by expansive forested hillsides. There are fantastic views of the Elkhorns, and that’s not to mention the distant mountain peaks of other Montana mountain ranges like the Bridger Mountains and the Tobacco Root Mountains. You’re up high where the views go on for miles and miles. There’s an amazing elevated building and camping site that’s already been leveled in the trees with rock formations right behind it, which makes this site extremely unique. It’s ready to build that cabin in the mountains you always dreamed of. You can point those picture windows toward the views you like most. Or you can simply pull in your camper and enjoy the weekends and your new Montana mountain property instantly. Invite your friends so they can enjoy it too and see what a great place you were lucky enough to buy in the Elkhorn Mountains. They’ll be jealous for sure. The property is accessible by a somewhat rough Forest Service road in the summer and fall, and the roads are gated and closed to motorized use from December 2nd to May 15th every year to keep from disturbing the critical wildlife winter range. So this is not a year-round property. However, as a private property owner, a permit to use the road during that time period when it’s closed can be obtained from the National Forest for very limited use. The Forest Service controlled gate sits about 3 miles further down the Indian Creek drainage. That’s close enough; you could certainly hike, snowshoe, or ski in to visit your cabin and enjoy the solitude during the winter months, too. The property is primarily snowed in when the gates are closed anyway, so simply plan on a prime recreational property for use during the glorious summer and fall months in the Elkhorns. You’ll certainly yearn to return every May and start enjoying once again as the snow melts and the grass greens back up, along with the mountain flowers popping up every year. Being way out in the National Forest, this is an off-grid property with no power close by. But the property sits only about 15 miles west of Townsend, Montana, on dirt and gravel roads, so it’s not far to head back to town for supplies and gas whenever you want. And Canyon Ferry, with all its great fishing and water sports, is right there at Townsend, too, along with fishing and floating on the Missouri River. Helena, Montana, is only about 35 miles farther north than Townsend, and Bozeman, Montana, is about 65 miles farther south, both of which have even more amenities and their own international airports, along with more of the best hunting and fishing opportunities Montana has to offer. It’s an amazing location and a great place to own your piece of Montana heaven. This is one of those rare opportunities you won’t want to regret missing, so don’t wait because it won’t last long....
