2824 Indian Creek Road

Townsend, MT 59644

14 Acres of Montana land with a creek in the middle of the National Forest, located in the Elkhorn Mountains, with a cabin site already installed, elk and deer hunting, incredible views, camping, ATVing, and more. It’s extremely rare to find land like this way out in the National Forest in the Elkhorn Mountains, and it has Indian Creek running through it. There’s a leveled site so you can pull your camper in and start enjoying the creek and the views immediately, while you make plans to build that cabin in the mountains you’ve always wanted. There are trails to hike, roads to drive on ATV, elk and deer to hunt, mountains to be climbed, and places to be explored, and it’s all close by within minutes of your new property in the mountains. It’s such an amazing bonus to have all this extra National Forest land right at your fingertips; you just can’t go wrong. The Elkhorn Mountains are renowned in Montana for their elk. They are plentiful, and the bulls grow big here in the Elkhorns, which is why the limited bull elk hunting tags are so coveted. This is a special hunting district in Montana that’s designed specifically to grow mature bull elk. Set up your spotting scope and glass the elk while they graze in the open parks before heading into the timber-covered hillsides for the day. The Elkhorns are full of wildlife. The property is a true off-the-grid recreational property, with no power nearby and a seasonally closed gate near the National Forest boundary about 3 miles away. The gate is locked up every year and closed to all motorized use of any kind, including snowmobiles, from December 2nd to May 15th to provide security for the elk, deer, and other wildlife on their winter range. However, as a private property owner, a permit to use the road during that time period when it’s closed can be obtained from the National Forest for very limited use. The road is pretty much snowed in during those winter months anyway, so just plan on returning to your property in the mountains in May as spring brings new growth and new life to the Elkhorns. What a feeling to know you’ve always got a place in the mountains to go get away, relax, and get back to nature; that’s all yours. This property sits way out in the National Forest, where you can go in any direction and hunt, hike, and enjoy the tens of thousands of acres of National Forest all around you.
