10.9 acres of Montana land with a creek, moose, elk, and deer, mountain views, public land all around, hunting, and trees. This great mountain property is ready to pull your camper in or build your Montana cabin right by the banks of Wickiup Creek that runs right through the property. You’ll be able to step out on your porch and enjoy the creek as it babbles its way by on its way down the drainage, eventually running into the Big Hole River near Melrose, Montana. The creek has very small fish and other aquatic critters, and it’s in a semi-broad valley bottom with willows, sedges, and other lush vegetation. The moose browse here, and the elk and deer like it too for its water and lush feed. Old beaver dams can be found on Wickiup Creek that used to create ponds as the creek made its way through the valley. The setting is amazing, right next to the creek, with the forested and sagebrush hillsides all around you. Properties like this don’t come on the market very often, with all the water and wildlife in the area. The property has BLM and State lands very close by and all around the property, too. So, you can walk or drive down the road a few hundred feet and start hunting, hiking, and recreating on all the public lands that surround the area. The National Forest is only a few miles up the road, where the Highland Mountains can be found. There are trails and roads to explore and hike, ATV, or drive, and lots of country to take off hunting elk and deer. Having all the BLM and State lands very nearby the property gives you more land right out your back door that’s there for your enjoyment. What a great feeling to know that the hills just down drainage from the property are wide open spaces there for your hunting, hiking, and enjoyment. From the property, you’ve got views of the Highland Mountains and surrounding foothills that are amazing too. You’ll be able to see elk and deer right from the property, or drive out on the public road that comes through the property and find other elevated vantage and glassing points. There are thousands and thousands of acres, and you’re right out in the middle of it all. You can hunt both elk and deer with a general tag, and there are extra cow elk tags you can draw for a second elk as well, since the elk are so plentiful in Hunting District 340. There are vast amounts of country to find them in, so you can’t go wrong. This is recreational property that’s amazing back in the mountains of Montana that gets snowed in during the winter, so it’s not a place to live year-round. There are two routes through the Highland Mountains, one of which is south of Butte from Interstate 90, and the other is from the west off Interstate 15 at the Feely Exit. A third, much rougher route comes up Camp Creek from Interstate 15 at Melrose. So, there are lots of roads and country to explore in all directions. The property sits about 22 miles south of Butte on paved and relatively good forest roads most of the way. So, it’s not far to head back to civilization when you're ready or need gas or fuel, and Butte has an airport as well.
