Own your own patented mining claim at the foot of the Tobacco Root Mountains with great views! Only 40 miles from Bozeman this property is in a secluded area of Montana that once was a bustling mining area. If you are looking for your private piece of Montana, this may be what you are looking for... 12.89 acres that would be a great location for your own recreational get away. This property borders BLM public land and is in an area with thousands of acres of public land to explore. It is only 12 miles to the northeast to a fishing access on the Madison River and 10 miles to the southeast to Ennis Lake for fishing. To west, in the Tobacco Root Mountains are many high mountain lakes as well for fishing and many ATV and 4x4 trails to explore. It is only 6.5 miles west of Norris and located just 40 miles west of Bozeman, about 16 miles north of Ennis. The views are huge, looking directly west into the Tobacco Root Mountains as well as east views into the Madison Range, with distant views of the Bridger and Elkhorn mountains. The access is secured with a private easement off a county road, though there currently is also access via a BLM road. The land offers you seclusion, big, expansive views, and plenty of land to develop to fit your dreams. It is an out-of-the-way setting that is far enough from town and the city lights to slow down and enjoy the beauty of Montana. The owner is offering financing on a contract for deed with 20% or more down. Land like this in a mountainous setting with so much public land around is hard to find these days. This old mining claim is just waiting for someone to create their own personal and private retreat. Could it be you?
