Property Description

Sun Canyon Lodge & Outfitting presents a rare opportunity to acquire an established, multifaceted business with valuable commercial use permits for lodging and guest services, as well as guided hunting, fishing, horseback travel, and pack trips in some of the most scenic and remote country in the lower 48. The lodge and accommodations are located just outside Augusta, Montana, on Forest Service lands at the base of the Rocky Mountain Front. The setting offers immediate access to exceptional wilderness adventure. Sun Canyon Lodge & Outfitting operates through two complementary segments: a professionally guided backcountry outfitting program in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, and a lodge operation offering lodging, camping, and a popular public restaurant and bar. Together, these components create diversified revenue and serve a broad, consistent client base. The business benefits from a loyal base of returning guests, as well as steady interest from new customers seeking authentic Montana experiences. Additional revenue is generated by do-it-yourself backcountry travelers who use the lodge as a staging point before venturing into the wilderness. Sun Canyon Lodge & Outfitting holds extensive Forest Service permits that allow it to guide hundreds of clients each year. Offerings include horseback expeditions to established camps and destinations such as the Chinese Wall, wilderness fly fishing, educational and photography-focused trips, day horse-packing outings, and a highly sought-after fall hunting program during archery and rifle seasons. The sale includes all improvements enjoyed by guests and utilized in the operation. Improvements include the historic lodge, originally constructed in 1923 as a dance hall for workers building Gibson Dam, and now operating as a full-service bar and restaurant with a liquor license. In addition to the lodge, the operation includes a 1,024-square-foot owner’s residence built in 2011 and five guest cabins. Cabin 1 is an original 1940s log cabin, while Cabins 2–5 were constructed more recently. Two additional smaller cabins provide overflow guest accommodations and employee housing. Additional improvements include a campground with ten campsites, running water, and an RV dump station, as well as a bathhouse, tack shed, shop, corrals, and additional supporting outbuildings. Owned and operated by the same family since 1983, Sun Canyon Lodge & Outfitting offers decades of stability and a proven track record of sustained demand. A new owner will step into a mature operation with strong brand recognition, loyal clientele, and meaningful opportunities for future growth. Opportunities of this caliber are uncommon. For newcomers to the outfitting world or established operators seeking expansion, Sun Canyon Lodge & Outfitting represents a distinctive, time-tested presence in one of America’s most remarkable wild landscapes.
