528 Whitcomb St, Zortman, MT 59546

Located on just over one acre at the edge of Zortman, Montana, this spacious 6-bedroom, 3-bath home offers a private setting at the base of the Little Rocky Mountains. Bureau of Land Management ground borders the property, with the mountainside rising directly behind the home and providing access to thousands of acres of public land for hunting, hiking, ATV riding, and other recreation. Originally constructed in 1981 as a metal Behlen building, the home was built to house senior-level employees of the Pegasus Gold Mine. Today, the property offers 4,969± square feet of living space over three levels, including a 1,200-square-foot, two-story addition completed in 2025. The addition created a large recreation or workspace directly upon entering the home, along with an approximately 600-square-foot primary bedroom. The home offers a spacious and versatile floor plan, with 2,533± square feet on the main level and 1,860± square feet on the second story. The main floor includes one bedroom and one full bathroom, along with the home's laundry room, a large kitchen, pantry, and an expansive living room with vaulted ceiling and abundant natural light. An enclosed sunroom provides additional living space and a comfortable place to enjoy the wooded surroundings throughout the year. The second story contains the majority of the home's bedrooms, along with two full bathrooms. A separate recreation area or home office with French doors provides additional flexible space and opens onto an elevated deck overlooking the property and surrounding mountain setting. The 576± square-foot daylight basement includes the home's utility room and extensive storage, with closets lining much of the wall space. The remaining area is currently used as a recreation or family room, with a walkout door providing direct access to a concrete patio. A number of significant improvements have been completed in recent years, addressing several of the home's major systems. The metal roof was replaced in 2023, and a new boiler heating system was installed in 2025. The boiler also incorporates a tankless hot water system, providing hot water on demand throughout the home. Additional improvements include new electrical breaker boxes, a new wood stove, and a new septic drainfield. Water is provided by the Zortman community water system, while the home utilizes a private septic system. A detached 24' x 32' garage, built in 1985, provides additional parking, storage, and workspace. The garage is heated and insulated with a concrete floor, making it functional throughout Montana's colder months and well suited for vehicles, recreational equipment, or a workshop. Its location on the property also provides convenient storage for the ATVs, hunting gear, and outdoor equipment that complement the recreational opportunities available directly from the property. The setting is one of the property's most distinctive features. Mature pine trees surround the home, with no residences extending beyond the property toward the mountains. The mountainside begins immediately behind the home, transitioning into BLM land and the rugged terrain of the Little Rocky Mountains. This location provides the privacy and recreational access of a rural property while remaining on the edge of the Zortman community. Zortman is a small mountain community well known for its proximity to big game hunting and outdoor recreation. Miles of hiking and ATV trails extend throughout the surrounding Little Rocky Mountains, while local amenities include a café, gas station, and convenience store. With nearly 5,000 square feet of living space, room for guests, hobbies, and recreational equipment, and public land directly adjoining the property, this home is well suited for either a full-time residence or a recreational base in one of north-central Montana's most distinctive mountain settings.
