TBD Lone Pine Gulch Road

Description

Located just a short drive from Ramsay and Butte, this 83.02+/- acre property in Silver Bow County offers a rare opportunity to build in a private setting with direct access to the Deer Lodge National Forest and reliable, year-round access via Lone Pine Gulch Road. With a natural, level building site already in place, this property is well-positioned for a home or cabin while maintaining immediate proximity to public land and recreation. The primary build site sits just off Lone Pine Gulch Road on a natural bench tucked among fir and aspen trees. This location provides a balance of privacy, accessibility, and natural protection from the elements, along with filtered sunlight and scenic surroundings. Power and fiber optics run along Lone Pine Gulch Road, offering convenient access for future development, and further up the access road there is an existing well that can be utilized. From the build site, the land rises through a mature stand of timber into a series of open ridges. These elevated features define the landscape and provide expansive views in multiple directions. Looking north and northeast, the property captures sweeping views of the Highlands and surrounding mountain terrain, along with additional vantage points overlooking the Butte area and nearby valleys. Approximately half of the acreage is timbered, consisting primarily of mature fir with pockets of aspen that enhance wildlife habitat and seasonal appeal. The remaining acreage is more open, creating a diverse landscape that supports both recreation and livestock use. The combination of timber cover, open ridges, and nearby water creates attractive habitat for wildlife. Deer and elk are known to frequent the property as well as the adjoining Forest Service land, making it a strong candidate for hunting or wildlife viewing. A spring runs through the lower draw and may provide a seasonal water source depending on conditions. This feature, combined with the natural terrain, supports livestock and wildlife use. The property is also well-suited for horses, offering a mix of cover, forage, and elevation changes that naturally encourage movement between lower draws and upper ridges. One of the most compelling features of this property is its direct adjacency to public land. From your own property, you can ride horseback, hike, or hunt directly into the National Forest without the need for trailering or additional access points. This seamless transition into public ground significantly expands the usable recreational footprint. Beyond the property boundaries, the surrounding area offers exceptional year-round recreation in every direction. Fairmont Hot Springs provides geothermal pools and golf, Discovery Ski Area offers winter sports, and Georgetown Lake is a popular destination for fishing, boating, and ice fishing. The region is surrounded by extensive public lands, creating consistent opportunities for hunting, trail riding, hiking, and exploring throughout all seasons. The upper portions of the property are not currently roaded, preserving a more natural and secluded setting, while the lower elevations and build site remain readily accessible year-round. With no covenants in place, the property offers flexibility for a range of uses, whether building a primary residence, seasonal retreat, or recreational base. Combining a ready-to-build location, diverse terrain, year-round access, direct public land boundary, and proximity to some of southwest Montana’s most desirable recreational destinations, this property presents a strong opportunity to establish a Montana lifestyle property near Butte.
