A Rare Montana Rental on Twenty Private Acres
This is the kind of Montana property people imagine when they picture peace, privacy, and wide open beauty. Set on twenty quiet and secluded acres at the very end of a gated road, the property offers sweeping views, open skies, and a true sense of calm. You feel completely immersed in nature, yet town is still only a short and easy drive away. If you are looking to experience true Montana living while remaining connected and close to town, this is a rare opportunity.
At the heart of the property stands a beautifully crafted lookout tower log home built by German and Amish craftsmen. The home is full of character, thoughtful workmanship, and warm natural materials. The upper level features a cozy bedroom with elevated views of the surrounding landscape. The main floor includes a comfortable living room, a cozy kitchen, and a full bathroom with a shower as well as a washer and dryer unit.
The home is not a luxury showpiece, but it is absolutely beautiful, welcoming, and deeply connected to its surroundings. It was completed only three years ago and has never been rented before.
A second modern cabin on the property offers additional flexibility and can be used as a private office, studio, or creative space. A large outbuilding provides ample storage for tools, equipment, and outdoor gear.
The property features reliable infrastructure, including a strong well, grid power, and high speed internet via Starlink, making it fully functional for both everyday living and remote work.
This property is ideal for someone who values privacy, nature, and quiet living, and who will appreciate and care for a truly special place.
