This three-bedroom, one-bath log home sits on a little over 20 acres in Ballantine, Montana, combining open space, rural charm, and everyday livability. Updated with a new roof and floors, the home features Montana-style log accents and beams, while the property is set up for horses, cattle, or 4-H projects with corrals, loafing sheds, three frost-free waterers, and a 40x75 steel shop that is mostly concrete floored. Two wells provide water for the house and livestock, and the well-drained, productive soils make the land highly functional. Surrounded by mature trees and well-kept neighboring farms, the property offers quiet country living just 20 minutes from the Heights or Billings, within the desirable Huntley Project School District and near the Yellowstone River, making it a rare combination of practicality, space, and Montana scenery.
Small Irrigated farm. Farm land leased on a cash basis. Can be planted to grass and alfalfa to run cows or horses. Nice log home built in 1973 remodeled in 1988 3 bed rooms one bath heated with wood stove and electricity. There is a 45 X 70 steel building, older corrals and sheds.
