Discover a rare opportunity to own 36 pristine acres just outside of Missoula in Alberton, located in Mineral County. This expansive property offers an exceptional blend of privacy, build-ready improvements, and breathtaking Montana scenery, all just 30 minutes from downtown Missoula and approximately 10 minutes from Missoula International Airport. It’s an ideal setting for those seeking space, serenity, and convenience without sacrificing access to town. This build-ready property includes major improvements already in place, saving both time and cost. A deep well was just professionally drilled, soil testing confirms suitability for septic, and the property has been fully surveyed — allowing you to move forward with confidence. The land itself is truly special. Over 150 yards wide with multiple flat, usable build sites, the property offers flexibility for how you want to live on it. Choose a homesite on the open bench overlooking sweeping mountain and river views, or tuck back into the peaceful, forested portion of the lot against the mountainside for added privacy and a more secluded feel. Whether you envision wide-open vistas or a cabin-in-the-woods setting, you have options here. Even better — the property is unzoned with no covenants or restrictions, giving you the freedom to truly make it your own. Park an RV or camper while you build, bring in a tiny home, construct a shop or barndominium, or design your dream home without the typical limitations found in many subdivisions. This kind of flexibility is increasingly rare and highly sought after. And the lifestyle? It’s pure Montana. Spend your evenings fishing along the nearby Clark Fork river, take a quick drive to the Alberton Gorge for whitewater rafting and summer adventures, or head out your door to explore dozens of hiking trails and public lands in nearly every direction. This is the kind of place where recreation isn’t a weekend plan — it’s everyday life. While currently offered as an exceptional private homesite with proximity to Missoula, the land also presents long-term investment and development potential for buyers with future vision who believe Missoula will continue to grow. Whether building a legacy home or holding as a strategic asset, this property represents prime Montana real estate with both heart and upside.
