Riverfront Living on 12+ Acres. This beautiful 12+ acre property offers direct Clark Fork River frontage with easy access for fishing, rafting, and enjoying life on the water. Whether casting a line from your own stretch of riverbank or launching out for a scenic float, this property delivers the kind of riverfront lifestyle that defines Montana living. Tucked at the base of tree-covered mountains, the 2-bedroom, 2-bath home is surrounded by open fields, mature pines, and sweeping views of the river valley. Wildlife is abundant, with frequent sightings of bighorn sheep, osprey, and deer, creating a true Montana experience right out your door. The expansive acreage and open ground also offer excellent potential for a hobby farm, with space for animals, gardens, and a more self-sufficient lifestyle. Located a short driving distance from the town of Plains, ~10 minutes to the Sanders County Fairgrounds and another ~3 minutes to town, you’ll enjoy peaceful seclusion without sacrificing convenience. Whether you're seeking a primary residence, recreational retreat, or small-scale agricultural opportunity, this property delivers. The home features a bright, open living space with large windows that capture breathtaking views. Hardwood floors run throughout the main level, and a central soapstone fireplace adds both elegance and exceptional heating efficiency, retaining and radiating warmth long after the fire has burned out. The kitchen offers ample counter space with a seamless flow into the main living area. Sliding doors open onto a spacious deck, perfect for entertaining or simply taking in the mountains and river beyond. An exterior shop with an attached lean-to adds versatility and is wired for 220V service, ideal for equipment, hobbies, or future expansion. A private drive and ample parking further support a lifestyle of independence, flexibility, and possibility. Don’t miss your chance to own a stretch of Clark Fork River frontage in the heart of Big Sky Country.
