The elk get so big here and theyre so well-known because the bull tags are on a limited draw and theyre 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. Thats all part of what makes the shed hunting in the spring so good too. You wont draw the bull tag very often, but youll enjoy seeing and hearing the elk because of it. And theres plenty of general tag spike and cow elk hunting opportunities in the elkhorns along with additional second cow tags you can draw as well as deer to keep you busy hunting throughout the season. The property not only borders the National Forest on 3 sides, but youre way out in the National Forest so you can just take off in literally any direction and have thousands upon thousands of acres of National Forest lands to hunt, hike, and recreate on. Theres a system of roads throughout the Elkhorns for driving and ATVing that provides for lots and lots of access and opportunities. Its an outdoorsmans dream come true.

The Elkhorn Mountains are so picturesque with their rolling topography and open parks framed by all their expanses of forested hillsides. There are fantastic views of the Elkhorns and thats not to mention the distant mountain peaks of other Montana mountain ranges like the Bridger Mountains, the Bull Mountains, the Tobacco Roots and more. You can even see Canyon Ferry and the surrounding valley from the property. Youre up high where the views go on for miles and miles. Theres already a leveled cabin site thats ready to build that cabin in the mountains you always dreamed of in the far back corner of the property right next to the National Forest. Talk about the perfect place to get away from it all. You can point those picture windows in the direction of the views you like the most. Or you can simply pull your camper in and enjoy the weekends and your new Montana mountain property instantly. Invite your friends so they can enjoy it too and see what a great place you were lucky enough to buy in the Elkhorn Mountains. Theyll be jealous for sure.

The property is accessible by semi-rough 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, so this is not a year-round property. The Forest Service controlled gate sits about 3 miles further down the Indian Creek drainage. Thats close enough you could certainly hike, snowshoe, or ski in to visit your cabin and enjoy the solitude during the winter months too. The property is primarily snowed in when the gates are closed anyway, so simply plan on a prime recreational property for use during the glorious summer and fall months in the Elkhorns. Youll certainly yearn to return every May and start enjoying once again as the snow comes off and the grass greens back up along with the mountain wildflowers popping up every year.

Being way out in the National Forest, this is an off the grid property with no power close by. But the property sits only about 15 miles west of Townsend, Montana on dirt and gravel roads, so its not far to head back to town for supplies and gas whenever you want. And Canyon Ferry with all its great fishing and water sports is right there at Townsend too along with fishing and floating on the Missouri River. Helena, Montana is only about 35 miles further north from Townsend and Bozeman, Montana is about 65 miles south which both have even more amenities and their international airports along with more of the best hunting and fishing opportunities Montana has to offer. Its an amazing location and a great place to own your piece of Montana heaven.

This is one of those rare opportunities you wont want to regret missing, so dont wait because it wont last long.
