    What's special

    Charming log homePeaceful mountain setting
    Your Montana cabin in the woods awaits. Set on 8.79 private acres and bordering thousands of acres of U.S. Forest Service land, this charming log home offers the privacy, recreation, and rugged beauty so many come to Montana looking for. The well-maintained 2-bedroom, 2-bath log cabin is surrounded by a beautiful mix of terrain, including areas of dense, lush timber and live water on the property. Step outside and you're immersed in nature, with abundant wildlife including turkeys and mule deer regularly passing through. For all the gear that comes with the Montana lifestyle, you'll appreciate the impressive 50' x 24' shop offering approximately 1,200 sq. ft. of space and wired for 220V. Power, well, and septic are already in place, and well-maintained roads provide easy all-season access. There's no cell service here—and for the right buyer, that may be part of the appeal. Starlink currently provides Wi-Fi when you want to stay connected, while the setting allows you to truly unplug when you don't. Bordering Hunting District 270 and U.S. Forest Service land, this property is an incredible home base for hunting, hiking, exploring, and year-round recreation. All of this is tucked away in a peaceful mountain setting approximately 20 minutes from the charming town of Darby and 1.5 hours from Missoula. Whether you're searching for a full-time mountain home, hunting basecamp, recreational retreat, or simply a quiet cabin surrounded by timber and wildlife, this property delivers the Montana experience that's getting harder and harder to find.
