Tucked deep in the Montana wilderness and surrounded by National Forest on all sides, this one-of-a-kind 61.78-acre property offers the ultimate off-grid escape with stunning views of Painted Rocks Lake and the Bitterroot Mountain Range. Built in 2007, the main cabin spans 1,668 square feet and blends rustic Montana appeal with modern comfort. Inside, you'll find two spacious living rooms—one anchored by a grand stone fireplace, the other warmed by a wood-burning stove and featuring a built-in Murphy bed for guests. The open-concept kitchen includes granite countertops and connects to a dedicated dining space. Expansive windows throughout the cabin fill the space with natural light and showcase stunning views. A large covered deck offers an ideal space for morning coffee, grilling or simply taking in the stunning views. The main floor includes one bedroom and a full bath, while the lofted second bedroom provides privacy and its own bathroom. Thoughtfully designed and completely off-grid, the cabin is ideal for those seeking solitude, self-sufficiency, and a peaceful escape from the everyday. A separate garage includes comfortable guest quarters with a wood stove, kitchenette, and full bathroom—perfect for hosting friends or using as a studio or workspace. This property is remote, private, and immersed in nature, offering limitless recreational opportunities like hiking, fishing, hunting, and simply unplugging. If you're looking for mountain solitude and breathtaking lake views, this is the kind of place that only comes along once in a lifetime.
