Gear Up for the Ultimate Montana Retreat – Built for Warriors, Hunters, and Hard-Charging Outdoorsmen
Load out from Townsend and make your way around Canyon Ferry Lake, then head up Duck Creek to a rugged custom log home sitting on nearly 85 private acres with 75+/- additional acres available at the base of the Belt Mountains. This isn't just a home—it's a forward operating base for your Montana lifestyle, which can be powered by the Generac back up power when needed.
Bordering 636 acres of state land, this property is a hunter’s dream in Deer/Elk Hunting District 391. Whether you're tracking elk, the elusive cat or setting up for deer, the opportunities here are endless with BLM and National Forest access close by. The property includes an old landing strip and a rustic skeet range
With Canyon Ferry Lake down the road for trophy Walleye, it is also fit for the avid fisherman to dip a line or run around the 30 mile plus long lake with kids in tow on a tube. Or sail over the lake with one of the local Paraglide outfitters for some real scenery and adventure!
This home is built for those who get things done—the massive logs were flown in and set by the owner himself via helicopter. The main level boasts a commanding primary suite with loft, plus an oversized guest room and loft space. Downstairs is a walk-out level with 2 more bedrooms that can convert into a full 3-bedroom guest apartment—ideal for your crew, family, or fellow servicemen. For added privacy or overflow accommodations, there’s also a separate guest apartment tucked behind the expansive six-car garage.
There's even a dedicated gun safe room for your weapons, reloading gear, and secure storage. Ride directly from your doorstep into the wild. After a long day on the land, cool off in the spring-fed pond, hot tub or relax around the fire with brothers-in-arms.
Whether you’re hosting a hunting party, training weekend, or just getting off-grid, this property is built for resilience, camaraderie, and freedom.
