As of January 2025

Sellers are motivated, bring all offers.

See Supplemental Remarks Opportunity is now for a chance at picking up a commuter friendly secluded acreage. This property will give you the county vibes and at the same time its only 15-20 minutes into Missoula for food, entertainment and general errands. The property has been professional logged in a manner that opens up the views while still giving you a forest thats healthy and teaming with wildlife. The current owners are past foresters and you can tell they've been great stewards of the land. The deer, elk, turkeys, grouse and bear thrive in this area due to the lush undergrowth and huckleberries that are present throughout the property. The land is in a conservation easement that allows the owner to chose a 2 acre building site located in an 8 acre building envelope. The easement allows owners to continue to run cattle, horses and other animals as well as hay the pasture areas. The hay field has an irrigation point ready for a new owner to run sprinklers as they see fit. The water rights that transfer with this property allow land owners to take care of their animals and ground. The timber can be harvested as time goes via a timber management plan through 5 Valleys Land Trust. Access to the property is off a county maintained road via a deeded easement through the neighbors land to the north. The property adjoins Montana State land to the south and Flathead Tribal land to the east. The outdoor recreation present just out your door is only limited to your imagination. Roads and trails in the surrounding forest allow you to explore and see some beautiful county.

Finley Creek runs through the NE corner of the property which provides one of the sources for a water right. The other two rights are from unnamed tributaries (spring fed) that are located on the property. The power transmission lines and easement are located on the furthest eastern portion of the parcel and run N/S. The property roughly consist of 70 acres of lush timber (Doug Fir, Larch and some pine), 15 acres of hay/pasture ground and 5 acres of riparian ground near the springs and creak bottoms. Outbuildings include a 2 stall barn, hay/loafing shed and a wood shed. Fencing does enclose the property but hasn't been maintain in a few years and will need some updating in certain areas along boundary lines. The grounds being in a conservation easement do help how the land is accessed on a tax value basis. Feel free to reach out with any and all questions.
