About this property

Unmatchable end-of-road PRIVACY & TRANQUILITY! You may not be able to find a more BREATHTAKING VIEW in all of southwest Montana from this 10 acres !! From the brand new west-facing deck you will see at least 6 mountain ranges, the Missouri River PUBLIC LANDS, plus Canyon Ferry Reservoir (a huge recreational area). You VICARIOUSLY SOAR WITH THE EAGLES that fly by at this 6,000-foot elevation. Get out of the hot summertime valleys & breathe cool, clear mountain air. Besides wildlife watching, you can hike, seasonally hunt elk, deer & bear on 8 square miles of cornering PUBLIC LANDS that begin 2 miles northeast, or fish PUBLIC RIVER LANDS 5 miles west with a public boat/raft put in & picnic area. Montana stream access law enables legally fishing entire river if fisherman stays below the high water line. Pictures show some but not all native wildlife. Beautiful wildflowers occur seasonally amongst scattered trees on east slope of the property. Internat'l airport via I-90 is only 1 hour away. Cabin is a work in progress with finishing underway. Access is via 4x4 with low range. Electricity will need to be developed via solar, wind, propane, generator, or a combination. 2023 property tax was $839, about $330 of which is payback to County for paving main access Clarkston Road to I-90. Little known Montana "non-qualified ag land" tax regulation enables 20 acres or more to be taxed at about same rate per acre as is 10 acres, in case a new owner would want to eventually buy an adjoiner. Property Owners Assn disbanded over a decade ago, so no entity enforces covenants. Buyers who like to explore on their own may purchase a 3'x3.5' black & white map of Ponderosa Pines for about $8 from Belgrade UPS Store, Selby's in Bozeman, or Main St. Office in Three Forks for general navigation. However, to get inside cabin you will need to be accompanied by a Realtor or this listing Broker-Land Surveyor-Mapper. SELLER FINANCING only possible if full asking price offered with: 50% down, 7% interest, $1,000/mo minimum payment, payoff in 5 to 10 years, & other terms to meet seller's criteria. Last picture lays out boundaries with Lat/Long coordinates that Realtor can use with hand-held GPS to walk perimeter with buyer; suggest wearing traction-sole footwear for safety & take drinking water (it is a lot bigger than 10 acres in terms of slope distances).
