Property Description
Tucked away in a remarkably private setting with no restrictions, this secluded property is located just south of Darby on the east side of the West Fork of the Bitterroot River.
Access is easy via a very private, well-maintained bridge, while grid power is already connected for modern convenience.
Ideal as a summer getaway, hunting cabin, or year-round escape, the property borders U.S. Forest Service land, giving you direct access to endless miles of public land for hiking, hunting, and outdoor recreation right from the parking area.
Relax on the deck as deer, elk, wild turkeys, and other wildlife frequently pass by, making this the perfect place to experience the beauty, tranquility, and adventure that Montana has to offer.
All appliances are electric.
Year around access is provided on the USFS road that ends at the property.
This access is secured by a USFS permit about $140.00 per year. USFS does not maintain the road.
Water is sourced from a spring just south of the home, the seller has a reverse osmosis system for this water.
Corners and property lines were recently located by the USFS.
Most furnishing and dry goods are negotiable. Seller has a side x side ATV available for sale as well.
A local contractor who has done most all of the work on the property is available to discuss any nuances and general maintenance specific to the property. This same contractor winterizes the cabin every year for the homeowner.
There is a post office, convivence store and Restaurant a few miles to the south in Conner, most folks in the area use this post office to get their mail, you can also get mail in a mailbox on the West Fork Road. The bridge association takes care of the maintenance on the bridge and there is a fee to buy in to the association and a 200.00 per year fee for each homeowner. I think the buy in is around 1500.00
RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE NOTICE: Property tax bills for 2024 and prior years may not reflect the future tax burdens on non-owner-occupied residential properties such as second homes, vacation homes, and short-term rentals. Recent legislation passed by the Montana Legislature (House Bill 231 and Senate Bill 542) raised the tax burdens on such properties and will take full effect in tax year 2026 and reflected in tax bills sent out in the fall of 2026.
