Perched at 5,480± feet of elevation in the heart of Jefferson Valley, Little Fish Creek Lookout is a rare offering that blends dramatic natural surroundings with a one-of-a-kind custom residence. Encompassing 306± acres in southwest Montana, this property delivers an unmatched sense of solitude and scale, bordering 450± acres of state land and 480± acres of BLM, effectively extending your backyard to nearly 1,200± acres of open country.
The centerpiece of the ranch is a recently built 1,800± square foot fire tower lookout-inspired home, featuring two bedrooms, one bathroom, and high-end finishes throughout. The 2-car garage is heated and features a second bathroom, stubbed for plumbing. True to its architectural inspiration, the home commands breathtaking 360-degree views of the Highland, Ruby, Snowcrest, and Tobacco Root Mountain ranges, a panorama that changes with every season and never grows old. Power runs to the home, ensuring modern comfort and convenience without sacrificing the property’s sense of remote mountain living. Beyond the existing improvements, the ranch offers several additional building sites that present exciting opportunities to further develop the property.
Nature is woven into every corner of the property. Lined with aspen and cottonwood trees, Little Fish Creek meanders through large boulders and cliffs on the northern section of the property for approximately 0.5± miles, providing water, wildlife habitat, and a peaceful focal point for the land. Scattered pine, fir, spruce, and juniper trees punctuate the rolling terrain alongside native sagebrush, while elk, whitetail and mule deer, moose, various bird species, and the occasional bear or mountain lion remind you that this is Montana in its truest form. Proximity to the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest further enhances the recreational and hunting opportunities available.
Conveniently located just 15± minutes from Twin Bridges, 20± minutes from Whitehall, 40± minutes from Butte, and 1 hour 15± minutes from Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, Little Fish Creek Lookout is as accessible as it is extraordinary, making this a true Montana retreat without compromise.
