Overview

This sale includes approximately 98.15 acres across three separate parcels. The property features a patented mining claim (Altamont Placer) and is described as having no zoning, no covenants, and no HOA, providing broad flexibility for an owner’s intended use. Access and terrain improvements include a roughed-in road that winds through a narrow canyon to the back of the property, then ascends to a large plateau.

The property is accessed from Highway 2 near Cardwell, MT. The land is surrounded on three sides by Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park and is adjacent to thousands of acres of public land. The approach is described as featuring prominent cliffs, including a large cave and a unique framed lookout over the Jefferson River, with open views from the plateau.

For buyers looking for privacy, a long-range getaway, or a site that can support a variety of commercial or personal concepts, the combination of flexible ownership terms, significant natural features, and direct roadway access may be compelling. Its placement beside a state park and adjacent public lands can also make it well-suited for buyers prioritizing seclusion while still maintaining convenient access to amenities, including Bozeman, which is noted as less than an hour away.
