$487,000

Lot 1004 of 21.77 acres is attractive for its LOCATION adjoining the MISSOURI RIVER- and its SPACIOUSNESS and end-of-road SECLUSION!! Motivated seller dropped price to $499,900 then again to $487,000. Given that a single acre in nearby Gallatin Valley is commonly priced at $500K+ without river access this is an EXCEPTIONAL BUY.

Seasonally, property welcomes a wide variety of songbirds, rabbits, wild turkeys, foxes, geese, and pheasants. etc. An uninhabitable dilapidated former dwelling consisting of 4 Bd, 1 Ba upstairs and 2 Bd, 1 Ba downstairs on a 55x 30 cinder block foundation exists. Owner puts NO VALUE on this because it could be mold ridden; pictures shown are merely to show what exists; however, a handy buyer may be able to rehabilitate it. Location is near the northwesternmost extreme of 18.5-square-mile Ponderosa Pines Ranch where it is a 5-minute hike across railroad right-of-way to a side-channel fishing spot opposite a large vegetated island of the Missouri River where locals say fishing can be phenomenal in the fall of a year; wildlife abound on this island. So, this may be especially attractive to a buyer who likes to fish/boat/raft, or just sit on the riverbank and watch the natural peacefulness of Canada geese, pelicans, ducks and osprey nesting on the island and observe the fly-over eagles that surveil them. To further add to the end-of-road privacy and mystique of the LOCATION is a deep, heavily vegetated natural seasonal stream channel on the northeast side of the acreage; to zoom in on this area use Google Earth coordinates on the big shop at 46.08783, -111.38907. The perimeter boundary is fenced for HORSES but needs some repairs. Elevation of only 4,000’ is 400 feet lower than the international airport in Belgrade, MT located less than 1 hr drive away, meaning winter snow accumulation is comparatively minimal.
