nhn Ranger Way Red Lodge, MT 59068

Are you looking for your own private retreat? This beautiful property at the foot of the Beartooth Mountains borders public land and has seasonal Gold creek cutting through it. The 20 acres offers huge views of Beartooth mountains as well as views across the Clark's Fork of the Yellowstone River valley to the Pryor Mountains and even the distant Bighorns. All this with the peace and quiet found with end of the road seclusion. Are you looking for a site for your Montana cabin or a place to camp far from city lights or maybe even a place for year-round living in the mountains (some snow plowing and a 4x4 would be needed)? Miles from power, but south facing slope offers lots of sun for solar. Some folks do live in the area year-round. This property is partially fenced and gives you direct access to BLM public land to the north, access that connects into the National Forest 2 miles to the west, well over a million acres of public land to enjoy. In fact, if you had time, you could hike all the way to Yellowstone National Park 50 miles away as the crow flies! This land is approximately 9 miles west of HWY 72; but the last 3 or 4 miles is not maintained. It is 13 miles to Belfry (pop 200), 11 miles to Red Lodge via seasonal Meeteetse Trail road (28 miles via Belfry). You would be about 70 miles southwest of Billings. Mild Covenants, but no HOA for enforcement. Property was burned in 2021 wildfire so it lost its trees. Wildlife includes elk, deer, antelope, moose, sage grouse, Hungarian partridge, coyotes & bears, even on occasion you may see a grizzly or some wolves. Call to set-up an appointment. The owner will finance with 20% down.
