About this property

Fronting the Continental Divide and privately positioned just minutes from Helena, Montana's capital city, this 160-acre retreat sits within an active wildlife corridor and includes acreage positioned against Forest Service lands--an uncommon combination of seclusion, access, and legacy-scale ownership rarely found this close to town. Elk, deer, moose, and bear are regularly seen throughout the seasons, reinforcing the sense that this property sits within a true Montana landscape. The offering includes the residence, shop, and full 160 acres, creating a rare opportunity to own large, contiguous acreage with flexibility for recreation, privacy, and long-term planning just outside Helena. Portions of the property lie adjacent to Forest Service lands, further enhancing the recreational setting and long-range privacy. Unlike many large-acreage properties near Helena, the land is unencumbered by conservation easements or restrictive covenants, preserving freedom, long-term planning, and future ownership goals. The oversized shop--with a 16' wide by 14' high overhead door--includes guest-ready living space and RV hookup, supporting equipment storage, multi-generational use, or potential income-producing flexibility. Inside the home, single-level entry with no steps, accessibility grab bars, and a curbless wet bath support long-term livability. A dedicated home office with Divide views provides an ideal remote-work setting and can function as a third bedroom if desired. Located approximately 5 miles from downtown Helena and just minutes from Broadwater Hot Springs, the property combines rural privacy with everyday convenience. Grocery and household delivery services, including Walmart and DoorDash, are available at the residence--an uncommon advantage for acreage of this scale and setting. A rare opportunity to own 160 acres fronting the Continental Divide--minutes from town, yet immersed in the landscape that defines the Northern Rockies.
