About This Lot

As of July 2023

Treehouse in the woods! Are you looking for seclusion, privacy, peace, security, and a wonderful adventure in Montana’s beautiful mountains? This remote mining claim offers all that and more. In the midst of the Lolo National Forest, approximately 34 miles northwest of Philipsburg, these mountains are home to every manner of wildlife including deer, elk, moose, mountain lions, bear, and wolf. Your treetop home keeps you safe while you sleep in the boughs of evergreens. The developed spring brings fresh, clear water to your campsite. The cold mountain water of approximately 43 degrees Fahrenheit will keep your fresh food fresh. The solar water heater lets you refresh yourself after a day’s hike or hunting trip with a hot shower. The composting toilet adds a bit of civility to your mountain escape. Cell phone reception is sparse; views and wildlife are plentiful. Simply magnificent. The developed spring comes with a water right and that crystal clear water is piped right to the foot of the treehouse. There is a second spring with flowing water below the treehouse. The treehouse itself is approximately 9 x 6 feet and includes a trap door to access the inside space from the ladder, shelving for supplies, 4 plexi-glass windows, an exterior door with a catwalk around the outside. There is an external propane tank if heat is needed on a chilly night. Montana mining history for the Argo Mine area includes mining and exploration for gold, silver, tungsten, and sapphires. Today the area is sparsely visited by people, and richly used by wildlife. Off-grid, seasonal access. 4-wheel drive with good tires is a must. A locked gate might deter a wanderer, but the animals will surely meander through.
