Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Darby, Montana

And a river runs through it.... Water, Wildlife & Wide-Open Space! Rare opportunity to own 10 private acres with a pond and flowing river tributary, surrounded by expansive ranchland and located just minutes from outdoor recreation at Lake Como and Lost Trail ski area. Set within a vast natural landscape of ranchland and river habitat, this beautiful property offers a rare combination of water, privacy, and wide-open surroundings. Just steps from the home, a peaceful pond sits directly off the back porch, creating a scenic place to relax, entertain, or enjoy quiet evenings watching wildlife gather at the water's edge. Adding to the charm of the land, a tributary of the nearby river flows directly through the backyard, bringing the gentle sound of moving water and attracting birds and wildlife throughout the seasons. Adjacent to the property is a natural island of approximately 17 acres bordered by river along the back side, forming a scenic and undeveloped natural backdrop. The island is not part of the property being sold and has been locally identified as state-owned land generally accessible to the public, though buyers should independently verify ownership and permitted uses. The island is undeveloped and not considered buildable, preserving the natural character of the area. On the opposite side of the property lies a 27,000-acre working ranch, contributing to the wide-open and protected natural surroundings that make this setting so unique. The property is approximately 10 minutes from the recreation and beauty of Lake Como, offering boating, fishing, hiking, and camping opportunities, and about 30 minutes from skiing and winter recreation at Lost Trail Powder Mountain. With a pond behind the home, a flowing tributary through the backyard, nearby lake recreation, and winter skiing, this property offers an exceptional opportunity for peaceful rural living, a vacation retreat, or a potential Airbnb investment property.
