Elk Creek Rd, Winnett, MT 59087

9.6 +/- acres of affordable off-the-grid Montana property at the very end of the road out in the country by Winnett, Montana. Land in Montana, where you can live in the countryside either recreationally or year-round. Enjoy country living out in the wide-open spaces of Montana’s Big Sky Country. You can see for miles, and there’s hardly another house in sight. And there are several 1,500- and 2,000-acre blocks of additional public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management and State Lands, very near the property, and even more in the general area for even more wide-open spaces. That means more land at your disposal for your recreational and hunting pursuits, plus more of those wide-open spaces eastern Montana is known for. This is a rare opportunity to buy affordable land in Montana out in the wide-open countryside. The property is also near Fort Peck Lake and the Missouri River Breaks. The Breaks, as Montanans call it, are a huge chunk of public land surrounding 150 miles of the National Wild and Scenic Upper Missouri River drainage. Some of the Biggest bull elk in Montana call the Breaks home along with antelope, mule deer, and whitetail deer as well. A Missouri River Breaks bighorn sheep tag is one of the most coveted big game licenses in the world. They grow them big here! Fort Peck Lake is Montana’s largest water body with 1520 miles of shoreline (longer than the coast in California). Some of the hotly pursued fish include walleye (a priority among the serious anglers), northern pike, paddlefish, sauger, lake trout, smallmouth bass, and chinook salmon. Surrounding this large expanse of water is the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge, managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which provides over one million acres of public land for fishing, hiking, hunting, camping, bird-watching, and other outdoor recreation. The property sits at the very end of a private driveway that connects to a maintained county road, and it backs up to a large private ranch. It’s about a mile of driveway out to the county road, and then about 6 miles to the small town of Winnett, which has a general store, bar and grill, school, and motel. From there, it's only about 55 miles to Lewistown, Montana, which is known as the heart of Montana (it’s literally located in the center of the state), with a flair for cowboy culture, offering a friendly hometown atmosphere, modern art galleries, yogo sapphires, and eateries for every palate.
