The water keeps the grounds nutritious enough to support 75 to 80 pairs from June through November. When the summer sun dries up vegetation, this acreage still has jade green grass! 

 

A cabin measuring 12' x 32' is situated on the property with a porch, a kitchen, a sleeping area, and a bathroom. It's perfect for a guest cabin or to reside in while building your dream home! A new septic system and well have been installed.

This property would be ideal for a gentleman rancher or for one who sold the big one and needs a place for equipment and a few cows. Outbuildings include two nice shops. The 50' x 66' equipment shed has a dirt floor and does not have electricity. The 50' x 50' shop has concrete floors, electricity, and lighting with corrals surrounding it. 

 

Deer Lodge County is rich with recreational prospects. Hunt, fish, ski, hike or explore under the Big Sky. Soak in the nearby hot springs. Live the life you've always wanted and come have a genuine experience in the great state of Montana!

 

Local Area

 

Anaconda, Montana has a solid industrial history that combines with the wilderness that surrounds it. Immigrants traveled here to follow the American dream as the Anaconda Copper Mining Company settled in as the world's top copper producer just as electricity came into common use. The town is situated amongst the mountains and forests of the Deer Lodge National Forest. Since the smelter stack shut down in 1980, the town survives presently because of the many tourist attractions and the recreational attributes that surround it.
