Helena, MT 59601

Fronting the Continental Divide and privately positioned just minutes from Helena, Montana’s capital city, this rare 80-acre retreat sits within an active wildlife corridor and offers expansion potential to 160 acres with nearby Forest Service proximity—an exceptional combination of privacy, access, and flexibility rarely found this close to town. Elk, deer, moose, and bear are regularly seen throughout the seasons, reinforcing the sense that this property sits within a true Montana landscape. The offering includes the residence, shop, and primary 80 acres, with an additional Forest Service–adjacent 80-acre parcel available separately. Alternative acreage configurations—including the potential to improve proximity to Forest Service access through a lot line adjustment—may be available subject to survey and county approval. Unlike many large-acreage properties near Helena, the land is unencumbered by conservation easements or restrictive covenants, preserving freedom, long-term planning, and future ownership goals. The oversized shop—with a 16’ wide by 14’ high overhead door—includes guest-ready living space and RV hookup, supporting equipment storage, multi-generational use, or potential income-producing flexibility. Inside the home, single-level entry with no steps, accessibility grab bars, and a curbless wet bath support long-term livability. A dedicated home office with Divide views provides an ideal remote-work setting and can function as a third bedroom if desired. Located approximately 5 miles from downtown Helena and just minutes from Broadwater Hot Springs, the property combines rural privacy with everyday convenience. Grocery and household delivery services, including Walmart and DoorDash, are available at the residence—an uncommon advantage for acreage of this scale and setting. Private Montana acreage today, with the flexibility to expand tomorrow—minutes from town yet immersed in the landscape that defines the Northern Rockies.
