11.8 Acres in Butte, MT - $139,750

This great mountain property is ready to pull your camper in to or build your Montana cabin right out on the forested slopes of the property on a site thats already been leveled. Its ready to go and its right next to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land. Youll be able to step out on your porch and walk right out on to thousands of acres of more land thats all at your fingertips to hike, hunt, and enjoy not to mention recreating on all the other public lands that surround the area. Youre getting way more bang for your buck when you think of all the extra land this property gives you right out your back door. The property borders BLM lands on two sides and the National Forest is only a few miles up the road to where the Highland Mountains can be found. Theres trails and roads to explore and hike, ATV, or drive and lots of country to take off hunting elk and deer. What a great feeling to know that the hills just behind the property are wide open spaces there for your hunting, hiking, and enjoyment.

This is one of those hunting properties where youll find elk sign all across the property and up on to the BLM lands just beyond. Theres already a tree stand in place on the property thats ready to use overlooking the grass and tree covered slopes. Spend your time in the stand enjoying the solitude of your very own property while you enjoy the views of the Highland Mountains and the Wickiup and Camp Creek drainages or take to the slopes in hot pursuit of your quarry. Either way youve got lots of options and lots of country and animals to hunt. And the property sits at the very end of a road with a private gate on it which provides even more solitude. There are no easements through the property so nobody else can drive through your place. Again its at the end of the road just like everybody wants.

Wickiup Creek runs nearby too as it heads down the drainage and eventually runs into the Big Hole River near Melrose, Montana. The creek has very small fish and other aquatic critters and its 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 with the creek and with the forested and sagebrush hillsides all around you.

From the property youve got views of the Highland Mountains and surrounding foothills that are amazing too. Youll be able to see elk and deer right from the property or drive out on the public roads in the area and find other elevated vantage and glassing points. There are thousands and thousands of acres and youre right out in the middle of it all. You can hunt both elk and deer with a general tag and theres 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 cant go wrong.

This is strictly a recreational property that gets snowed in during the winter back in the mountains of Montana, so its not a place to live year-round. There are two routes in 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, theres 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, its not far to head back to civilization when youre ready or need food or fuel and Butte has an airport as well.

This recreational Montana property checks most of the items on everybodys list bordering BLM lands with the National Forest close by too, and wildlife, views, and trees with a cabin site thats ready to build on. Its what everybody is looking for so dont wait on this one.
