Historic Montana property with land, utilities and endless potential. No Covenants + mountain access=rare opportunity to create your own vision. Set on 1.95 aces and just 30 minutes from Dillon, this historic building is a true piece of local history. Originally built by the community in 1903 as a schoolhouse, it reflects a character that simply can't be replicated today. Located in the heart of prime hunting and fishing country with immediate mountain access, this property is perfectly positioned for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking a one of a kind Montana retreat. From schoolhouse to cafe, this unique building has served the community for over 120 years. Recently, converted for residential use, the structure offers approximately 1500 sq ft of flexible space ready for your vision. Being sold "AS IS", it will need work-but, for the right buyer, that's where the opportunity lies. The property is already equipped with essentials: private well, two septic tanks and established utilities providing a solid foundation for renovation or continued use. Outside you'll find a livestock lean to and chicken coop along with plenty of space for horses, gear, trailers, RV's, and/or expansion. With no covenants, you have the, freedom to create your ideal set-up whether its a hunting cabin, recreational basecamp, or homestead. Adding to the charm and authenticity, the original historic school house piano, chalkboard, bookshelves and school bell will convey with the property.
This is not a polished turnkey home, it's something far more unique. Its a place where history, land and freedom come together waiting for the right buyer to bring it to life.
