7615 Highway 2

Butte, MT 59701

Located just outside of Butte, Montana, this 126.56+/- acre property presents a compelling opportunity for developers, investors, and land buyers seeking a well-positioned land asset in one of Southwest Montana’s growing markets. Comprised of two separate parcels totaling approximately 98.72+/- acres and 27.84+/- acres, the property offers flexibility for a variety of future ownership and planning concepts. With frontage along both Highway 2 and Janney Road, the property benefits from excellent access, visibility, and convenient proximity to Butte. One of the property’s most attractive features is its overall usability. The terrain is predominantly flat and functional, allowing a significant portion of the acreage to be used for future homesites, lot layouts, infrastructure planning, or other residential concepts. Large, usable residential tracts with this level of access, utility availability, and proximity to town are becoming increasingly difficult to find in Butte and throughout Southwest Montana. Natural gas and electricity are available in the area, further supporting the property’s long-term potential. Wells in the surrounding area have generally been drilled to reasonable depths, adding another positive consideration for future residential planning and development. Growth throughout the Butte area continues to create demand for additional housing and thoughtfully planned residential projects. Current projections estimate the need for approximately 2,400 additional housing units over the next 13 years, supporting long-term demand across a variety of residential product types and lot sizes. The scale of this property, combined with its existing two-parcel configuration, creates an attractive opportunity for buyers evaluating phased planning concepts, future lot configuration strategies, or residential projects designed to serve multiple segments of the market. Projects incorporating a mix of larger residential parcels, mid-sized lots, and smaller more attainable offerings are becoming increasingly important as the region continues to grow. The property’s size and layout may lend itself well to a tiered approach that balances usable space, accessibility, and varying buyer preferences. With two parcels already established, future planning flexibility may include phased development concepts, boundary line adjustments, or subdivision opportunities subject to county approval and applicable regulations. The property is currently divided into four separate pastures by non-barbed wire fencing, creating additional functionality for agricultural, livestock, or equestrian-related uses. Existing improvements include two barns, one featuring an attached tack room, and multiple structures have benefited from newer roofing improvements in recent years. These existing improvements may provide immediate utility for interim agricultural operations, equestrian use, or holding purposes while long-term plans are evaluated. The location offers a balance that is becoming increasingly difficult to find near Butte. Buyers can enjoy close proximity to town, employment centers, services, schools, and recreation while still maintaining the space and flexibility associated with larger acreage ownership. Highway 2 frontage and Janney Road access further enhance the property’s accessibility and future appeal for development, long-term investment, or private ownership. In addition to residential development potential, the property may also appeal to buyers seeking a large acreage residential tract, equestrian operation, or private ranchette close to Butte. Equestrian-related uses have existing precedent within the surrounding area, and the combination of usable acreage, accessibility, fencing, barns, and location creates flexibility for a range of ownership visions. Southwest Montana continues to experience strong interest from buyers seeking land with development upside, recreational access, and proximity to established communities. Whether viewed as a development opportunity, long-term investment, equestrian property, or lifestyle holding, this offering provides scale, access, usability, and future potential in a market where quality large-acreage properties continue to become more limited.
