Looking for five unrestricted Montana acres where nobody handed you a rule book? This one is worth the drive. Just east of Townsend, this property sits in a beautiful mountain setting with an open meadow, big views, no covenants and no zoning reported. There was once a home here, but it was lost to wildfire in 2021. The land has been making a comeback ever since, with green grass and new growth across the property. An established domestic well is in place (137' deep, 10 GPM, 35' static level), along with a septic system from the former homesite. Neither has been used since the fire, so buyers will want to have both evaluated. Power is currently disconnected, with service in the area provided by NorthWestern Energy. A greenhouse remains on the property; the former bunkhouse/ shed has been removed and does not convey with the property . One important detail is the access. The property is reached from Highway 12 via a National Forest Service road under an easement/permit arrangement that requires periodic renewal. Buyers should verify the current status and renewal requirements with the U.S. Forest Service. The setting is hard to argue with. You're surrounded by mountain country, with Townsend, Canyon Ferry Lake and plenty of Montana recreation within reach. For buyers specifically looking for land without covenants there's room here to consider your own plans. Of course, “unrestricted” doesn't mean “anything goes,” so buyers should verify intended uses and permitting requirements. It's beautiful, a little unconventional, and definitely not another cookie-cutter parcel in a subdivision. Come walk it and see what you think. Unaccompanied showings are not permitted; a licensed agent must be present.

It is set up with a propane refrigerator/freezer and propane lights, just adding to the charm. If you like to drive the back roads and trails on your ATV, there are miles and miles for you to explore right from the front door of the cabin. This property is located in Eagle Basin, which is not far from the Eagle Creek Forest Service Guard Station. Crow Creek flows near the guard station and is a fantastic fishery; hiking up to Crow Creek Falls will be one of the most epic hikes you’ve ever done. Because it is located within the National Forest, you’re going to see Elk, deer, moose, and bears frequently in this area. The property is located in t the Elkhorn Wildlife Area, so the Forest Service closes the access road to all motorized vehicles a few miles from the property from December to May 15th every year for wildlife protection; you can still hike or ski in for a true wilderness experience. You're only about 15 miles from Townsend and the Missouri River and Canyon Ferry Lake. And you're only about 69 miles from Helena, Montana, and about 89 miles from Bozeman, Montana, where there are airports, hardware stores, restaurants, and even more amenities. Just sitting back with a pair of binoculars on the deck and a hot cup of coffee is one of the most relaxing things you can ever imagine. You don’t see cabins on this kind of acreage come for sale very often, especially ones that border the National Forest!
