Bordering BLM land in the Elkhorn Mountains with year-round living off the grid, this property can’t be beat. It’s also on a private, gated road with elk and deer hunting, and a cabin or home site with fantastic views, all close to the National Forest. It’s for real, year-round property in the foothills of the Elkhorn Mountains near Radersburg, Montana. And it technically does border a very small chunk of BLM land, with lots more very nearby. Properties like this are extremely hard to find in the Elkhorns, and the views from the property are amazing. There is already a leveled building site that’s in place. It’s ready to build your dream home or cabin overlooking the Missouri River drainage below and the mountain ranges beyond, with the Elkhorn Mountains right behind you as the backdrop. You’ll see elk, deer, and bighorn sheep right from your picture window and deck as you live out in the hills with Mother Nature. You’re in the foothills where there’s pine trees, fir, and juniper scattered throughout the property along with grasses, forbs, and flowers. There are already several off the grid year-round homes in the general area. Electricity is about 3 ½ miles away, so plan on an off-grid system like wind, solar, or propane, and get away from the crowds. The property sits on a private gated driveway that’s less than a ½ mile beyond Keating Gulch Road, which is a county-maintained dirt road. And then you’re only about 3 more miles to the little town of Radersburg and pavement from there. Then it’s only about another 10 miles to Highway 287 and the Missouri River from Radersburg. Townsend, Montana, is only about 25 miles away from the property with gas, food, amenities, and fishing and water sports on Canyon Ferry Lake. Bozeman, Montana, with an international airport, Costco, Walmart, and more, is only about 68 miles away to the southeast. So, in just over an hour, you can be from Bozeman to the relaxation and privacy of the property. And Helena, Montana, the state capitol, is only about 65 miles away to the north as well. The property is very close to thousands of acres of BLM lands, so you know you’ve got lots of elbow room right out your back door. It’s such a bonus to have all that land right there you can hike, hunt, and recreate on anytime you want. And it’s all just wide-open spaces. The National Forest isn’t far to the west either, so you’ve got tens of thousands of acres you can explore and enjoy any time you take a notion.
