This 29+/- acre property located in Jefferson County, Montana offers a rare combination of privacy, access, and recreational opportunity. Tucked within the timbered mountains, the parcel includes a two-bedroom, one-bathroom cabin powered by solar with battery storage and a generator backup. The open-concept living and kitchen area creates an efficient and functional space for off-grid living or seasonal recreation. Propane and wood heat provide multiple options for climate control. A non-permitted grey water septic system with on-demand hot water services the cabin, and an outhouse is included for additional nature calls. Currently the owner transfers water to the property via a portable tank, and there is not a well on-site.

Year-round Quinn Creek flows through the property, providing a reliable water feature and attracting wildlife to the area. The property is elevated above the valley floor, offering expansive views and a secluded feel. The greenhouse features a gravity-fed water system to support small-scale gardening efforts. For equipment and vehicle storage, the property includes well built garage. Access is via a private easement road that crosses a large neighboring ranch, adding a significant layer of privacy and security for the owner. A major highlight of this property is the ownership's connection to an adjacent square mile of U.S. Forest Service land and another square mile of State Trust land. These public lands are effectively landlocked and inaccessible to the general public, making them available primarily to landowners in this area. This unique feature enhances the property's recreational potential for hunting, hiking, and wildlife viewing. Located in a general hunting area with frequent sightings of deer and elk, the property offers strong potential for hunters and wildlife enthusiasts. The proximity of timber, water, and terrain provides attractive habitat for big game species.

This property is a strong candidate for a recreational retreat, hunting basecamp, or an off-grid residence, with significant value stemming from the private access to otherwise difficult-to-reach public lands. It is within reasonable driving distance of nearby Montana communities including Boulder, Whitehall, and Helena, offering convenience without sacrificing seclusion.

This offering features 3 neighboring parcels offered for sale together at “bulk pricing.” AKA – buy more parcels, pay less per parcel! Take advantage of this opportunity to gain instant equity in this property. These are three, separately deeded properties that are 39 combined acres, and are ideally situated to be combined into one property. They are located 30 minutes from Butte in SW Montana, approximately 10.5 miles from I-15. Escape to the mountains while still being only 30 minutes to the conveniences of town! The property borders thousands of acres of the Deer Lodge National Forest to the north and east that holds a large elk population. These parcels are situated where three small, heavily timbered drainages combine to form a larger drainage, funneling elk directly to the property. Each parcel has an access road and its own roughed-in build site, and no covenants. Take advantage of all three sites to build small off-grid homes or cabins, or park your RVs during hunting season, and create a family compound or hunting camp, while still enjoying the privacy each build site offers. Incredible views are another perk as well as year-round recreation in the area such as off-roading, fishing, and snowmobiling.
