Stunning 20-Acre Mountain Retreat off Indian Creek Road! Imagine driving up Indian Creek Road, past a picturesque creek perfect for fishing, on your way to a serene 20-acre property nestled in the breathtaking Elkhorn Mountains. This piece of land offers a unique blend of beauty and privacy, making it the ideal retreat for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Enjoy views of Canyon Ferry Lake and the surrounding mountain ranges from various vantage points on the property. The land features open spaces, striking rock outcroppings, and forested areas, providing a diverse environment. The owner of the property built a road last year, at the end of this road, there are rock outcroppings where footings have been installed to build a deck. The owner planned to construct a 10'x12' cabin on this deck. The location offers beautiful views of the surrounding Elkhorn Mountains and parks, making it an ideal spot for spotting elk and deer. Whether you're looking for a hunting season haven or a summer escape, this property offers the perfect spot for an off-grid cabin or a private sanctuary. The property is surrounded by public lands, ensuring unparalleled privacy. Extensive research is being conducted on the minerals found on the property. Prospective buyers will have access to the history of the Iron Mask Lode. The property can be reached via Forest Service and BLM land, and the right of way grants are transferable to the new owner. The BLM and Forest Service have established a right-of-way that provides privacy and access to the property. This right-of-way is primarily for access and not for maintenance beyond the first 200 ft. off the Indian Creek Road. The last segment of the road leading to the Iron Mask Lode parcel is closed to the public and leads to the Forest Service boundary. Management policies limit motorized travel to specific routes to conserve wildlife habitats and non-motorized recreational areas. The current owner has been granted authorization to use the designated route for occasional cabin access, which is not expected to significantly affect the road's condition. Despite its remote location, the property is still relatively close to Townsend and Canyon Ferry Lake, providing opportunities for fishing and recreation. Additionally, there is good cell phone reception, allowing for connectivity with the outside world while enjoying the getaway.
