Where Big Sky Dreams Take Flight– Set on 60± acres of wide-open Montana ground, this one-of-a-kind property just outside Townsend is where freedom, functionality, and frontier living all come together. With a private FAA-licensed airstrip, horse facilities, and the ability to run completely off-grid with solar, this ranch is more than a home—it’s a self-sufficient basecamp for adventure. The main residence features 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, with an unfinished basement offering room to expand—whether you’re adding a third bedroom, home office, or rec room. A large shop with an overhead crane and attached living quarters provides flexibility for equipment, guest stays, or workspace. Equipped for livestock and ranch life, the land boasts 3.5 miles of perimeter fencing, corrals, a tack room, and open pasture for grazing. But it doesn’t stop there—homesteaders will appreciate the raised garden beds, chicken coop, and even a private shooting range, offering everything you need for a truly independent lifestyle. And when the work is done, the recreation begins. Enjoy close proximity to Canyon Ferry Lake—known for its exceptional fishing and boating. This property also offers convenient access to thousands of acres of public land, ideal for big game hunting and outdoor exploration. Whether you're flying in for the weekend, working the land, or simply escaping to peace and privacy, this property delivers the Montana dream—with fresh air, open skies, and opportunity in every direction.
