True Montana Legacy Property on 24.25 Acres – Vintage Log Home, Creek, Cabins, & Endless Possibilities
Welcome to a rare and extraordinary opportunity to own a true piece of Montana history! Nestled on 24.25 pristine acres, this one-of-a-kind property offers year-round rushing Trapper Creek, two ponds, meadows, mature trees, and breathtaking views in every direction. Bordering Forest Service land and located just minutes from the West Fork of the Bitterroot River, this property is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise.
The centerpiece is a vintage log home with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms on two levels. Featuring a tastefully remodeled kitchen, cozy living spaces steeped in history—part of the home dates back to the late 1800s and early 1900s—this residence blends timeless character with modern comfort. 1,000+/- feet of Trapper Creek flows through the property, and the expansive decking with creek and pond views makes this home perfect for entertaining, complete with hot and cold running water and space for multiple BBQs. There are multiple spots on the property to enjoy the peaceful and beautiful surroundings including a pergola covered area and benches by the ponds
This property is ideal for sustainable living, with a large greenhouse, productive garden, complete with drip irrigation system. There are water rights for the property with a priority date of 1892. Outbuildings include a 36x40 barn and a 30x60 shop and two sheds.

Whether you’re seeking a private family retreat, a working ranchette, or an income-generating investment, this is a once-in-a-generation offering. This was originally a working ranch and later was the home base for Indian Lake Outfitters and Trapper Creek Lodge. It’s located in the south Bitterroot Valley, well known as home to Yellowstone’s Dutton Ranch.
Lovingly owned by the same family for over 60 years, this is more than just a property -it’s a legacy. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of Montana’s past, present, and future.
