But you’re way out in the National Forest so you can just take off in literally any direction and have tens of thousands of acres of National Forest lands to hunt, hike, and recreate on. There’s a system of roads throughout the Elkhorns for driving and ATVing and trails to hike that provide for lots and lots of access and opportunities. The Elkhorn Mountains are so picturesque with their rolling topography and open parks framed by all their expanses of forested hillsides. There are fantastic views of the Elkhorns and that’s not to mention the distant mountain peaks of other Montana mountain ranges like the Bridger Mountains and the Tobacco Root Mountains. There’s an amazing elevated building and camping site that’s already been leveled in the trees with rock formations right behind it, and a really old relic car body left right where it quit chugging decades ago, that makes this site extremely unique. It’s ready to build that cabin in the mountains you always dreamed of. You can point those picture windows in the direction of the views. Or you can simply pull in your camper and enjoy the weekends and your new Montana mountain property instantly. The property is accessible by Forest Service roads in the summer and fall, and the roads are gated and closed to motorized use from December 2nd to May 15th every year to keep from disturbing critical wildlife winter range. Service controlled gate sits about 3 miles further down the Indian Creek drainage. That’s close enough you could certainly hike, snowshoe, or ski in to visit your cabin and enjoy the solitude during the winter months.However, as a private property owner, a permit to use the road during that time period when it’s closed can be obtained from the National Forest for very limited use. The Forest Service controlled gate sits about 3 miles further down the Indian Creek drainage. That’s close enough you could certainly hike, snowshoe, or ski in to visit your cabin and enjoy the solitude during the winter months too. The property is primarily snowed in when the gates are closed anyway, so simply plan on a prime recreational property for use during the glorious summer and fall months in the Elkhorns. You’ll certainly yearn to return every May and start enjoying once again as the snow melts and the grass greens back up, along with the mountain flowers popping up every year. Being way out in the National Forest, this is an off the grid property with no power close by. But the property sits only about 15 miles west of Townsend, Montana on dirt and gravel roads, so it’s not far to head back to town for supplies and gas whenever you want. And Canyon Ferry with all its great fishing and water sports is right there at Townsend too along with fishing and floating on the Missouri River. Helena, Montana is only about 35 miles further north from Townsend and Bozeman, Montana is about 65 miles south which both have even more amenities and their international airports along with more of the best hunting and fishing opportunities Montana has to offer. It’s an amazing location and a great place to own your piece of Montana heaven.
