This great 18-acre parcel borders the Helena National Forest. I say "actually" because it’s extremely rare to find land like this out in the Elkhorn Mountains, bordering the National Forest. The Elkhorns are a highly sought-after mountain range because of their big elk and lots of elk. This is one of those unique opportunities to own land in the Elkhorn Mountains that you’ll look back on for decades and be glad you seized. The elk get so big here, and they’re so well-known because the bull tags are on a limited draw, and they’re hard to get. This allows the age structure to be higher, the bulls to be bigger, and there can be more of them than on regular public land. That’s all part of what makes the shed hunting in the spring so good, too. The property not only borders the National Forest, but you’re way out in it, so you can just take off in any direction and have tens of thousands of acres of National Forest lands to hunt, hike, and recreate on. There’s a system of roads throughout the Elkhorns for driving and ATVing, and hiking trails that provide lots and lots of access and opportunities. The Elkhorn Mountains are so picturesque, with their rolling topography and open parks framed by expansive forested hillsides. There are fantastic views of the Elkhorns, and that’s not to mention the distant mountain peaks of other Montana mountain ranges like the Bridger Mountains and the Tobacco Root Mountains. There’s an amazing elevated building and camping site that’s already been leveled in the trees with rock formations right behind it, and a really old relic car body left right where it quit chugging decades ago, that makes this site extremely unique. It’s ready to build that cabin in the mountains you always dreamed of. You can point those picture windows in the direction of the views. Or you can simply pull in your camper and enjoy the weekends and your new Montana mountain property instantly. The property is accessible by Forest Service roads in the summer and fall, and the roads are gated and closed to motorized use from December 2nd to May 15th every year to keep from disturbing critical wildlife winter range. Forest Service gate sits about 3 miles further down the Indian Creek drainage. That’s close enough you could certainly hike, snowshoe, or ski in to visit your cabin and enjoy the solitude during the winter months.
