About this House
Looking for five unrestricted Montana acres where nobody handed you a rule book? This one is worth the drive. Just east of Townsend, this property sits in a beautiful mountain setting with an open meadow, big views, no covenants and no zoning reported. There was once a home here, but it was lost to wildfire in 2021. The land has been making a comeback ever since, with green grass and new growth across the property. An established domestic well is in place (137' deep, 10 GPM, 35' static level), along with a septic system from the former homesite. Neither has been used since the fire, so buyers will want to have both evaluated. Power is currently disconnected, with service in the area provided by NorthWestern Energy. A greenhouse remains on the property; the former bunkhouse/ shed has been removed and does not convey with the property . One important detail is the access. The property is reached from Highway 12 via a National Forest Service road under an easement/permit arrangement that requires periodic renewal. Buyers should verify the current status and renewal requirements with the U.S. Forest Service. The setting is hard to argue with. You're surrounded by mountain country, with Townsend, Canyon Ferry Lake and plenty of Montana recreation within reach. For buyers specifically looking for land without covenants there's room here to consider your own plans. Of course, “unrestricted” doesn't mean “anything goes,” so buyers should verify intended uses and permitting requirements. It's beautiful, a little unconventional, and definitely not another cookie-cutter parcel in a subdivision. Come walk it and see what you think. Unaccompanied showings are not permitted; a licensed agent must be present.
