Land for Sale in Norris, Montana

Transform your Montana adventures into reality on this 133+/- acre property with no covenants, conveniently located near Norris Hot Springs. Just 37 miles from Bozeman International Airport and 20 miles from the charming town of Ennis, this prime location strikes the perfect balance between accessibility and privacy. You'll find everything you need nearby, from supplies and delicious meals to local nightlife, while enjoying the seclusion that allows you to explore the 12 patented Gold Mines on the land. Among these is the historic Boaz Gold Mine, situated in the Lower Hot Springs Mining District (Norris Mining District), along with the Golden Treasure, Jackpot, Hi-Hi, Midway, and Midnight claims. With the purchase of this property, you will acquire water rights for both industrial use at 30 GPM and mining purposes at 100 GPM. Additionally, the Gold Eagle Mill includes a well drilled in 1991, boasting a reported flow of 60 GPM for domestic use. The existing structures can be renovated to reclaim their former glory, having contributed over $1,700,000 in gold production from 1939 to 1944. The Boaz Gold Mine ceased operations in 1944 due to WWII, which forced a halt in production. Although plans for further work were made for winter 1946-1947, they were never realized. The outbuildings, Gold Eagle Mill, and current mines hold great potential for revitalization, allowing for gold production just as was envisioned in the 1950s. With year-round access via a county-maintained road, available power and telephone services, and BLM land surrounding much of the property along with a large ranch, the possibilities are limitless.
