This property is full of opportunity, so bring your ideas! Whether you are interested in a family compound, a commercial endeavor, mining, or something else, this property with no zoning, no covenants, and no HOA could have exactly the incredible privacy and serenity that you're looking for. Made up of three separate parcels and surrounded on three sides by Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park and adjacent to thousands of acres of public land, this property has both historical significance and potential value due to it being a patented mining claim (Altamont Placer). With easy access from Highway 2, you are initially met with breathtaking cliffs that include a large cave and unique framed lookout over the Jefferson River. A roughed-in road winds through a narrow canyon to the back of the property and ascends to a large plateau that provides stunning views of the property and surrounding area. With Bozeman less than an hour away, you can enjoy access to amenities, entertainment, and the airport while taking advantage of the remoteness of this versatile property.
