40 acres on the east side of Teakettle Mountain, about 4 miles downstream from Blankenship Bridge. Bordered on the north and east by USFS land designated as Wild & Scenic River. Mostly level with a low hill along the south border. A stream winds through it with surface flow on the east end even in dry years. Bears, deer, elk, moose, foxes, and wolves roam through it. Ospreys and goshawks fly over it. Teakettle Road cuts through it. In 1929, a raging fire burnt off most of the timber on Teakettle Mountain, giving lodgepole pine the opening it needed to create one of Mother Nature's mono-cultures. In the 1980's, I harvested most of the pine for posts and poles, and thinned the rest because the mountain pine beetle was flying through, decimating northern forests. Today, a healthy new, mixed-age stand of pines covers the parcel with larch, spruce, Douglas fir, and aspen mixed in. During my harvest, I drove all over this parcel in a 2-ton farm truck to haul out the posts. Most of my haul roads can still be seen on Google-Earth, and could be brushed out to access the many cabin sites on this property. A flat, 1–2-acre site near the center can serve for RV parking if desired. There was a logging camp near the eastern border in the early 1900's. An old apple tree grows there now, probably started from a logger's discarded core. Today, the bears and squirrels enjoy eating those apples. Huckleberry patches dot the parcel and throughout the adjacent Forest Service lands. Game trails offer a short traverse to the Flathead River, making this land accessible to the river yet secluded by the Wild & Scenic buffer. A 4-mile drive brings you to Blankenship Road. From there, less than an hour's drive gets you to Kalispell, Whitefish, or West Glacier; connecting you to the business hub of Flathead Valley, Big Mountain ski resort, or thousands of acres of wilderness between Canada and Wyoming along Montana's Rocky Mountains. Please email me or give me a call to make an appointment for viewing. I plan to be on site the first of April, but could be there sooner if necessary. I'd enjoy walking and talking this ground with you. I've loved it all these years, but my life has moved on and it’s time new folks enjoyed its many beauties.
