Lot 2 (Princess Lode) is 16.77 acres located in SW Montana in the historic Ruby Mine area. This property follows the crest of a gentle ridge from the south boundary to the north boundary – the perfect spot to build a mountain cabin near the top of a ridge which gives way to a newly excavated build site and cleared area. This is the perfect spot to take in the incredible mountain views from the roughed-in build site. The property borders thousands of acres of the Deer Lodge National Forest to the north and east, which is home to a healthy elk population. Elk tracks were frequently seen on the road and right on the build site within hours of construction! The land has been historically logged so it features a healthy mix of grassy pasture and sage brush meadows along with pine tree cover in the east half and throughout the southern half of the property - the perfect combination of feed and cover for elk and deer. The build site is the perfect spot to park your RV, or for a small cabin. Plus, no covenants! This parcel is accessed off of I-15 from either the Bernice exit from the North (towards Boulder, MT & Helena, MT), or the Elk Park exit from the South (towards Butte, MT). It is approximately 11 miles from either exit on 9 miles of quality paved and gravel road, and then two miles of a smaller dirt road that has been significantly improved. It is a 30 minute drive from Butte, MT. Maney Lake, Lowland Creek, and the Boulder River are all quality fisheries nearby. Properties are located behind a locked gate.
