Description
PRICE REDUCED! Located along Mill Creek just outside of Anaconda, Montana, this property offers a residential home on acreage with year-round water, historic character, and access to four-season recreation. The setting combines a unique home site with a flowing creek and proximity to extensive public land in one of Southwest Montana’s most recreation-rich regions, with light covenants that allow for the potential of a second single-family residence on the property.
At the heart of the home is an original homestead cabin dating to the early 1900s that was relocated from the Big Hole Valley. Portions of the original cabin walls remain visible within the home, adding depth and character that reflect the area’s early settlement. These historic elements are integrated into the living space in a way that feels authentic rather than staged, giving the home a sense of place that is difficult to replicate.
The home sits above Mill Creek and features large picture windows that look out over the water and the surrounding landscape. From inside the home, it is common to observe wildlife moving through the area, including deer and moose, often viewed right through the windows while the warmth of the wood stove fills the room on cold winter mornings. Mill Creek flows year-round and supports native cutthroat trout, adding scenery and a constant water presence to the property.
Access is provided by Mill Creek Highway (Highway 569), a state-designated highway that allows for dependable year-round access. This makes the property well-suited for full-time use, with utilities in place and convenient proximity to Anaconda for schools, medical care, and everyday services. The location offers privacy while maintaining convenient access to essential amenities.
In addition to the residential improvements, the property includes fenced pasture areas suitable for horses or other livestock. A barn/shop structure with four stalls provides functional space for animals, equipment, or projects, and is complemented by a heated stock waterer and an insulated outbuilding for additional storage or utility use.
The property is subject to light covenants that allow for up to two single-family residences per parcel. This provides potential for a second homesite on the opposite side of Mill Creek, offering privacy, separation, and the opportunity for a distinct entrance, subject to County approvals and applicable regulations.
The property directly adjoins extensive public land, including the Mount Haggin Wildlife Management Area. This landscape supports elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, moose, and black bear, with wildlife frequently traveling through the Mill Creek corridor and across the adjoining ground. Recreation opportunities extend well beyond the property itself. In addition to the adjoining public land, the surrounding area offers extensive public access for fishing, hunting, and exploration. Nearby fishing includes Mill Creek, the Clark Fork River, Warm Springs Ponds, and Georgetown Lake. The Mill Creek Highway climbs west and provides access to a wide range of snowmobile and cross-country skiing terrain in the winter, along with hiking and exploration during the warmer months.
This property combines a year-round home, flowing water, historic elements, direct public land adjacency, and four-season recreational access in a setting that balances privacy with practicality. It offers a rare combination of comfort, character, and connection to the surrounding landscape.
