Exceptional opportunity to own a Montana income-producing retreat surrounded by incredible natural beauty. Set on 24.25 acres with Trapper Creek flowing through the property, this unique offering includes a historic log home, four guest cabins, ponds, outbuildings, and expansive outdoor spaces designed for gathering, relaxing, and recreation. Whether you envision a vacation rental business, hunting and fishing lodge, wedding or retreat venue, corporate getaway, or multi-generational compound, the infrastructure and setting are already in place. Guests and tenants will love the authentic Montana experience—creek frontage, towering pines, mountain scenery, wildlife, and close proximity to Lost Trail Powder Mountain, the Bitterroot River, and endless public land recreations. The cabins provide immediate rental potential, while the main home offers warmth, character, and space to host on a larger scale. Properties with this combination of income opportunity, privacy, acreage, water features and recreational appeal are exceptionally difficult to find.
