Property Description
Located 22 miles up the scenic Rock Creek drainage, this 1-bedroom plus spacious loft, 1-bath cabin sits on 3.51 private acres with Forest Service land bordering the property — offering unmatched privacy, abundant wildlife, and direct access to thousands of acres of Montana backcountry. Rock Creek is one of Montana's premier blue-ribbon trout streams, and this property places you just 800 yards from the bank. World-class fly fishing for wild cutthroat and brown trout, summer swimming, and some of the most scenic water in the West — all within walking distance of your front door. Designed for comfortable off-grid living, powered by solar panels and a propane generator. The main floor features an open concept living and dining area, one bedroom, full bath, and a well-appointed kitchen complete with a wood cooktop stove, propane range, ample cabinetry and pantry space. Upstairs, a spacious loft with balcony provides additional sleeping quarters and sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and timber. A large enclosed back porch with workbench provides excellence space for gear, storage, hobbies, and entertaining after a day outdoors. Most furnishings are included, making this a true turnkey retreat — arrive Friday and be fishing by the weekend. Opportunities to own a property with Rock Creek access, Forest Service adjacency, and off-grid self-sufficiency at this price point are exceptionally rare.
