About this property
Rustic cabin on 5 acres in the Crazy Mountains between Clyde Park and Wilsall, Montana. Properties like this rarely become available. Held by the same family for 50 years, this secluded 5-acre parcel is a true hidden gem nestled in the breathtaking Crazy Mountains. If you've been searching for an authentic mountain getaway and an incredible recreational retreat, this property deserves a look. This isn't luxury living--it's a place to unplug, breathe fresh mountain air, and enjoy the peace that only nature can provide. If you don't mind chopping wood, hauling water, and living without some modern city conveniences, then this may be just the place. There is so much to appreciate about this special property. A seasonal stream meanders through the wooded and private parcel, creating a peaceful soundtrack alongside the songs of mountain birds. Whether you're relaxing on the porch, exploring nearby trails, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, or simply enjoying the solitude, this setting is truly unforgettable. The cabin was a rebuild using a metal frame and has been extensively rebuilt and designed from that point up for Montana cabin living. Inside you'll find two bedrooms, a functional kitchen, a cozy wood stove for heat, and an electric refrigerator. Electrical service is connected and fully functioning. Additional improvements include a newer composting outhouse with electricity for lighting-check out the art- and an outdoor shower complete with a hot water heating system. Set back off the main Upper Cottonwood Forest Service road it's seasonal access will be determined by the snow depth. It is approximately a 60-minute drive to Livingston through some of the most remarkable rural scenes. The property offers outstanding opportunities year-round. During the winter months when the snow depth keeps travel to over the snow vehicles, permission can be requested for parking down lower in a neighbor's field so that you can drive most the way up in the winter, making it an excellent base camp for snowmobilers, backcountry skiers, and other winter recreation enthusiasts. Whether you're looking for a family retreat, hunting camp, weekend escape, or a place to create your own mountain traditions, this one-of-a-kind property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the Crazy Mountains that has been cherished for generations.property features
