A new waterfront commuity offers the opportunity to create a private Montana retreat on the banks of West Fork of Rock Creek. Lot 4 offers a rare combination of approximately 400 feet of creek frontage, mountain views, mature trees, and access to some of Montana’s most spectacular public lands, all just minutes from downtown Red Lodge. The level, open homesite is beautifully positioned for a distinctive architectural vision, with easy access from Highway 212. A single-family residence and guest home are permitted. Owners share access to approximately 1.5 miles of community trails, with walk-on access to the Silver Run Wildlife Management Area, BLM land, and the Custer Gallatin National Forest. This network connects you to nearly a million acres of public land and the legendary Beartooth High Country, placing hiking, fishing, wildlife, horseback riding, and endless mountain adventure virtually at your doorstep. With its private setting, substantial creek frontage, mountain vistas, exceptional recreational access, and proximity to Red Lodge, Lot 4 represents a truly special opportunity to design a legacy Montana property from the ground up.
