Your Montana Dream Awaits!
Discover an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of Montana's majestic landscape with this vintage cabin on a coveted Recreational Forest Service Permit in the heart of Custer National Forest. This rare offering is perfect for those yearning for a part-time private haven where they can disconnect to reconnect. Tucked into a forested enclave of other forest service cabins along the banks of the Gallatin River, you’ll spend endless hours fly fishing on one of Montana’s renown rivers. Steps from your door is the 5.5 mile Lava Lake Trail, a dynamic and engaging hike, with the final destination of Lava Lake being a true reward. The trail offers a sense of progression, from the enclosed forest to the wide open and spectacular beauty of the alpine environment.
This authentic mid-century one room cabin embodies the quintessential mountain getaway. While offering a rustic aesthetic, the renovated log and stone cabin provides a comfortable and functional space to create lasting memories while you relax by the warmth of the wood stove or soak all your cares away in an old- fashioned tub with fresh (and heated) water from Cascade Creek. Adding to the true “back to nature” lifestyle is the outdoor shower with an adjoining wash-room & commode.
Despite its secluded feel, the cabin is midway between world-famous Big Sky Ski and Summer Resort and historic downtown Bozeman, offering diverse food, entertainment, recreational and cultural opportunities.
Owning a Forest Service cabin is more than just a property acquisition; it's a generational cash investment in a unique lifestyle defined by adventure, peace, and a profound connection to nature.
