About the Property

The property borders National Forest and BLM land.

Grab your fishing pole and go for walk up or down the road in either direction. You’ll probably get a few bites.

You’ll probably get to meet the neighbors (turkeys and deer) they’re over ALL the time, when you’re having your morning coffee.

You’re just a stone’s throw from hundreds of miles of trails leading to gorgeous views as far as Montana and wilderness areas.
