Land for Sale in Townsend, Montana

Escape to your own slice of Montana high country on 5+/- unrestricted acres tucked into a dramatic creek canyon along scenic Highway 12 East - a short drive from Townsend, Canyon Ferry Lake, and Helena. This is the rare recreational parcel where the hard, expensive groundwork is already done: ELECTRICITY is on site and an established domestic well (137' deep, 10 GPM, static level 35') is in place - leaving you free to dream, build, and settle in. The land unfolds as a private green meadow cradled between timbered mountain slopes. Wake to birdsong and watch deer, elk, and wild turkey move through the draw at first and last light. A greenhouse/shed conveys, and a level, power-ready building area means your dream cabin, full-time home, or off-grid basecamp can take shape on YOUR timeline. With no zoning and no covenants, the possibilities are wide open - a hunting retreat, a quiet getaway, a working homestead, or a launch point for endless backcountry adventure. This is country shaped by fire and reborn in green: open meadows, sweeping unobstructed views, and vigorous new growth blanket the canyon floor while mature timber climbs the surrounding ridgelines. The public lands of the Big Belt Mountains put hunting, fishing, hiking, and snowmobiling out your door. Canyon Ferry Lake offers boating, walleye, and trout fishing, while the Missouri River and downtown Townsend are only minutes away. Helena's airport, dining, and amenities keep you connected without sacrificing the solitude you came for. ACCESS: The property fronts paved Highway 12, with access to the parcel via a National Forest Service road under an established easement subject to periodic renewal - current terms available from the listing broker. Highway 12 is maintained year-round, making this a genuine four-season property. Bring your boots, your blueprints, and your sense of adventure. Welcome home. NOTE: The greenhouse/shed conveys; the dry mini cabin does NOT convey.
