Remarks: Seller just finished drilling a 400 foot well with 20GPM!! Here it is the place everyone has been hoping to find an unfinished log home on 20 acres at an affordable price. Located just northwest of Helena Montana this home is 2 stories with the loft, and a tuck under garage/shop area. This property would make an excellent year-round home site with some winter plowing; all you need to do is complete the work to earn sweat equity! The septic system is already installed and ready to be hooked up. Views from the huge living room windows over the Montana Mountains are out of this world! Cabin is on 20 heavily wooded acres that abound with wildlife; deer, elk, moose and an occasional black bear. This Home gives you access to the incredible Montana countryside with only being a few minutes from Helena, so any supplies you might need are at your fingertips. You're just a short drive from the Missouri River, Blackfoot River, Little Blackfoot River, Canyon Ferry Lake, Hauser Lake and Holter Lake, not to mention thousands and thousands of acres of National Forest! If you've been looking for a property where you can finish the work and have a year-round home site at a great price this is the place for you.
