2 Ruby Mine Rd Butte, MT 59701

This 16.77-acre property, identified as Lot 2 (Princess Lode), is situated in southwestern Montana within the historic Ruby Mine area. The land follows the crest of a gentle ridge, offering an ideal location for constructing a mountain cabin near the ridge's peak. A newly excavated build site and cleared area provide an advantageous setting to appreciate the mountain views. The property borders thousands of acres of the Deer Lodge National Forest to the north and east, an area known for its elk population. The land's history of logging has resulted in a mix of grassy pasture, sage brush meadows, and pine tree cover, creating a suitable environment for elk and deer. The build site is suitable for parking an RV or constructing a small cabin. The parcel is accessible from I-15 via the Bernice exit from the north or the Elk Park exit from the south. It is approximately 11 miles from either exit, involving 9 miles of paved and gravel road, followed by 2 miles of improved dirt road. The location is a 30-minute drive from Butte, Montana. Maney Lake, Lowland Creek, and the Boulder River, all quality fisheries, are located nearby. The property is located behind a locked gate.
