Tucked deep in the mountains of Helmville, Montana, this 20-acre off-grid retreat carries the soul of a family legacy. Rustic, remote, and rich with history, the 1,736-square-foot cabin has evolved through the years. What began as a simple log cabin still stands proudly at its core, later joined by a lofty lookout, and finally expanded with a large addition that completes its current footprint. Inside, there are two private bedrooms, a cozy loft with extra sleeping space, and a spacious addition that includes more sleeping areas and a secondary living room—plenty of room for family gatherings, hunting parties, or work retreats. Warmth comes easily from both propane and wood heat, while modern comforts like a flushing toilet, washer & dryer septic system, running water from a private well, and solar lighting make off-grid living surprisingly effortless. There’s even a thoughtfully maintained outhouse for a second option. Outside, the landscape invites you to breathe in the mountain air, practice your aim, or gather around the fire beneath a sky bright with stars. A few storage sheds provide space for tools, toys, and gear, completing this rare and timeless Montana hideaway.
