Lot 7 is at the end of the drainage in a small meadow and offers the ultimate spot that maximizes privacy for a small cabin or RV spot. The land has been historically logged so it features a healthy mix of grassy pasture and sage brush meadows along with pine tree cover in the east half and throughout the southern half of the property - the perfect combination of feed and cover for elk and deer. Plus, no covenants! This parcel is accessed off of I-15 from either the Bernice exit from the North (towards Boulder, MT & Helena, MT), or the Elk Park exit from the South (towards Butte, MT). It is approximately 11 miles from either exit on 9 miles of quality paved and gravel road, and then two miles of a smaller dirt road that has been significantly improved.

16.6 acres of Montana property that borders BLM land on two sides, with lots of elk and deer, and has a leveled cabin or home site tucked away in the trees back in the mountains with fantastic hunting and fishing nearby. And it’s on the end of the road behind a private locked gate! This property borders BLM land on two sides, which gives you more land you can hunt, hike, and enjoy right out your back door. It’s like you’re buying way more land you can take advantage of that’s right there next to your own property. Talk about stretching your dollar and making it work more for you. There’s elk and deer on the property at times, and a good herd of both in the area, so owning this property and bordering the additional BLM land gives you all the more opportunity to see them and hunt them if you’d like. And there’s a National Forest within 1 ½ miles of the property, too. It’s a short drive or ATV ride, and you’ve got tens of thousands of acres of both the Helena and Beaverhead Deerlodge National Forests you can hunt, hike, and explore. This property puts you right out there in the mountains on the edge of all these vast amounts of public lands you can take advantage of any time you take a notion. There’s a healthy herd of elk in the area as you’ll see when you’re there, and there’s lots of elk sign and trails to prove it. The property is in Hunting District 335, where there are general over-the-counter deer and elk tags and a second cow elk tag that can be drawn, since there are so many elk in the hunting district. So there’s lots of opportunity year after year. And you’re just across the highway from the fabled Hunting District 380 in the Elkhorn Mountains with its limited elk permits and huge bulls. These elk cross into Hunting District 335 too, which might put them right in your backyard where you can be ready to hunt the big ones. A building site has already been leveled on the property so it’s ready to build your dream home or cabin in the woods. The setting is fantastic. There’s mature timber all around the building site for plenty of shade and screening. There’s a county road for access down in the valley below, and you’re well behind a private gate with a private road that accesses the property. The private driveway winds up the property, where you get elevated, and the views are awesome right from the building site. The property is heavily forested, which the elk and deer like most for the shade and cover.
