MOTIVATED SELLER dropped asking price by $10,000 in prime deer/elk country in time for the nearly 3-month archery/rifle big game seasons. Lot 150 of 11.6 acres with self-contained, off-grid, SECLUDED cabin is one-of-a-kind for massive views of the Missouri River & surrounding mountains & with nearby PUBLIC LANDS. Those lie only 1 mi north-northwest, 2 mi south-southwest, & 2 mi east to 8 square mi of cornering PUBLIC LANDS that Fish, Wildlife & Parks retired biologist says is home to 750 head of elk. As our nation’s 4th largest State of Montana has 30% PUBLIC LANDS compared to 2nd largest State of Texas with only 4%. Those whose jobs require crowded city living will find the wildlife & serenity of this place totally opposite in contrast & very spiritually uplifting. Has a 120 sf insulated, finished cabin set up as a kitchen with: small fireplace, small refrigerator/freezer, utility sink, & four 100-watt solar panels & 2 batteries (100 amp hours) & 2200-watt inverter wired for AC & DC power & lights. Has 240 sf unfinished cabin with 2 lofts. Has 200-yard shooting range with 4x8 platform to shoot from. Has 250-gallon rainwater collection tank. Has constructed trail to bottom of gulch & seasonal creek on property. Only about a 6 mi drive puts one at Fairweather Fishing Access, where one can fish legally all up & down river below the high water line, or hike amongst migratory waterfowl, wild turkey, pheasants, whitetail deer, antelope & an occasional moose along the Missouri River PUBLIC LANDS. Existing track road to cabin at 4,760’ elevation lends itself access all winter with a 4x4 or ATV; listing broker/land surveyor set three 3-foot stakes & blue/orange ribbon on both sides of main access road to delineate where the east & west property lines cross the track road. Recommend buying a 3’x4’ black & white map of Ponderosa Pines at Selby’s Bozeman, Belgrade UPS, or Main St Office Three Forks for general navigation there, then print last picture for more detailed local navigation. I-90 is only 25 min away, & international airport only 50 min away. 2022 property tax was $666 which includes a RID of about $300 to pay back County for paving main access road. Covenants exist but are no longer enforced. Seller requires a CASH SALE so hopefully a serious buyer can acquire an equity loan to accomplish purchase (most institutional lenders will not loan on off-grid property).
