New Water System, and Heating Installed (Mar 26) - Motivated Sellers! This property has a cozy cabin overlooking the stunning Canyon Ferry Reservoir—Montana’s third largest lake, offering over 76 miles of scenic shoreline. The charming retreat features power, 1700 gallon cistern/pressure tank, and a permitted septic system, making it ideal for recreational use or as a comfortable guest cabin. The cabin utilizes a cistern (that is currently being filled by GPM Fire Services/Townsend) and comes furnished. There is also newly installed baseboard heat (along with a wood stove), water heater, bathroom/kitchen sinks, and a new tub/shower. With additional buildable areas on the property, new owners have the option to construct a dream home while keeping the cabin as a bonus space. Perfectly situated for outdoor enthusiasts, the property is just minutes from National Forest access, waterfowl sanctuary (WMA Area), and world-class fishing and boating opportunities on Canyon Ferry. Whether you’re seeking weekend getaways, a base for year-round adventure, or a peaceful place to unwind, this property offers it all. Don’t miss the chance to own a slice of Montana paradise! The quaint city of Townsend is nearby for most daily amenities, and Bozeman and Helena are each less than an hour away for international travel.
