Philipsburg, MT 59858

If you’ve been looking for a place where the wild begins, this is it. Tucked high in the mountains east of Philipsburg, this rugged 31.5+ acre property offers the kind of seclusion that is getting harder and harder to find. Comprised of two separate, deeded mining claims and bordered on multiple sides by Forest Service land, this is your opportunity to own your own piece of untamed Western Montana while having more than 124,000 acres of public forest practically at your doorstep. Rough terrain and challenging roads help keep traffic to a minimum, preserving the wild character and solitude of the area. This is not a polished subdivision or a manicured piece of Montana—it is raw, rugged country meant to be explored. NO COVENANTS Bring your rifle, binoculars, side-by-side, four-wheeler, dirt bike or snowmobile and venture into the mountains in search of elk, deer and the adventure that comes with being surrounded by vast public lands. For the hunter, outdoorsman or anyone who simply wants to escape the crowds, this is a true mountain retreat and a hunter’s paradise. Within the two mining claims is a source of water and a pond, offering possibilities for watering animals, washing your finds or simply enjoying another rare feature in this rugged landscape. The property gives you room to roam, explore and create your own mountain experience, with the surrounding Forest Service land opening the door to even more miles of trails, timber, wildlife and backcountry adventure. When you want to venture back into civilization, the quintessential Montana town of Philipsburg is nearby. Packed with character, history and plenty to do, Philipsburg provides access to Georgetown Lake, sapphire mining, skiing, snowmobiling and countless other recreation opportunities. The area comes alive during the summer with concerts, parades, fireworks, street dances and community events that capture the spirit of small-town Montana. Access is primarily by Forest Service roads, making this a true four-season playground. Spend summer exploring by ATV, motorcycle or side-by-side, chase autumn game through the mountains, and return in winter with your snowmobile for a whole new world of adventure. If your idea of Montana is rough country, big timber, public land, wildlife, solitude and the freedom to get away from it all, this 31.5+ acre mountain property deserves a serious look. Come prepared for adventure and discover a place where the wilderness still feels wild. USE ONX under LOONEY
