A fisherman’s paradise, this property boasts true riverfront access—imagine casting your line just steps from your front door. The property also features a spacious attached 2-car garage, a large 1260 square foot heated shop with a roughed-in bathroom, and a versatile studio building ideal for art, fitness, or office use. At the water’s edge, a charming historic fishing cabin awaits, complete with its own kitchenette, bathroom, and screened-in porch—perfect for hosting guests or simply unwinding by the river. Additional highlights include a durable metal roof installed in 2012 and ample storage throughout the home, large kitchen pantry and outbuildings.

Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a legacy getaway, this riverfront gem is a rare find in one of Montana's most picturesque settings
