This exceptional ±80-acre tract in Flathead County has installed infrastructure and unfinished potential in a market where acreage of this size is increasingly hard to find! The property is set in a quiet mountain setting with a very remote feel, yet it is less than a mile from Highway 2, giving you the best of both worlds: seclusion without sacrificing access.
The property BORDERS PUBLIC LAND, as well as private land currently enrolled as a Type 1 BMA, allowing public access for recreation! There are multiple benches, usable building areas, and several spots where you can overlook McGregor Lake. The access is via a private road and utility easement crossing Montana state property that was formerly a state road and has since been abandoned, which adds to the tucked-away character of the parcel. At the property entrance, the road forks. The upper road leads to a higher bench where the lake views really open up, and the lower road leads to the house. Another spur off the old state road reaches the upper portion of the property, adding to the utility of this tract. This layout makes the land especially well-suited for a family compound, recreation retreat, or future multi-structure use.
The house itself was constructed very well and has strong bones, but it is waiting for someone to bring it across the finish line. Although significant work has been completed on the interior, it remains mostly unfinished. The structure was thoughtfully designed at significant expense as an off-grid 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home on a concrete footer and slab. A permitted four-bedroom septic system is already installed, and the solar panel setup is in place. The residence is approximately 1,200 square feet and was started in 2021, offering a solid foundation for a compact but functional mountain home. The extensive solar array includes approximately 18 solar panels and an unfinished storage/battery shed that supports the off-grid concept. Electrical service could potentially be brought in at considerable cost. The battery house/shed has not yet received a finished roof, and no water well has been drilled. The heating/cooling plan for the home was two mini-splits in addition to a wood stove in the living room. This property is ready for the next owner to complete it to their own standards and vision. This is the kind of contractor special that is waiting for the right buyer to finish, customize, and fully unlock its value.
The location adds substantial recreational value, especially for anyone who loves water, wildlife, and mountain country. McGregor Lake is known for excellent fishing, and the nearby Thompson Chain of Lakes offers a remarkable stretch of outdoor opportunity with boating, camping, wildlife viewing, and quality angling. Little Bitterroot Lake is also within the broader regional draw, adding another great fishing and recreation destination. The surrounding area is remote, scenic, and full of the kind of benches, timber, and lake views that make Montana land so desirable, yet Highway 2 is still close enough for practical access. With its privacy, acreage, and proximity to some of the best fishing and recreation in northwest Montana, this property stands out as a rare chance to create a true family compound in a stunning setting.
