Description
This 160-acre property offers a rare blend of natural beauty, solitude, and access to thousands of acres of public land. A year-round creek flows through the center, a feature of rare appeal at this elevation, winding between open meadows, mature timber, and dramatic rock formations. Set above the creek is a handcrafted, sun-drenched log cabin that takes in sweeping views of the surrounding ridges and valleys, offering a comfortable base from which to experience the property’s wilderness character. Expansive ridge lines offer panoramic views of multiple surrounding mountain ranges, with a sense of remoteness that’s increasingly hard to find. Occupied structures above or at the same level as this cabin are few and far between.
Insurable access is provided from the east, entering the lower end of the property via a road extending north from Charcoal Creek. Additional access reaches the upper portion and cabin site from Pony Creek Road, crossing Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land before entering the property. The main easement road could be improved or potentially rerouted to suit a future owner’s plans, offering flexibility without compromising the property’s secluded nature.
The cabin, built more than 30 years ago from hand-peeled Bitterroot lodgepole pine, reflects craftsmanship and character rarely found today. Constructed by the property’s longtime owner—one of the first recreational buyers in the area—it includes custom cabinetry, a composting toilet, an efficient wood stove, skylights, and a sleeping loft. The cabin is comfortable year-round, sleeps up to five, and can be furnished with most contents, excluding personal artwork, Navajo rugs, and antique skis.
This region supports a healthy population of wildlife, with the property serving as a natural corridor for elk, mule deer, black bear, and other native species. The variety of habitat—from grassy benches and shaded creek bottoms to forested ridges—provides reliable year-round movement and excellent opportunities for observation or hunting.
Beyond its recreational and wildlife value, this property combines practical accessibility with true wilderness solitude. Its size, topography, and location make it suitable for use as a hunting base, private retreat, or long-term holding. Despite its quiet, off-grid character, it lies just over an hour from Bozeman, placing essential amenities, airports, and year-round services within easy reach. Properties offering this degree of privacy, live water, and direct public-land adjacency are becoming increasingly rare in southwest Montana.
