Experience the privacy, views, and endless recreation opportunities of this exceptional 19.88-acre parcel bordering Gallatin National Forest—public land literally right out your back door. Tucked away at the end of the road and accessed via recently improved Continental Divide Ranch Road and Paintbrush Trail, this property offers remarkable seclusion while showcasing sweeping views across the Madison Valley and the mountains east of Highway 87.
Wildlife is abundant, with elk, deer, pronghorn, and moose frequently seen throughout the area. World-class fly fishing on the Madison River is just minutes away, along with easy access to Hebgen, Quake, Wade, Cliff, and Henry’s Lakes for boating, fishing, and year-round recreation.
Many of the preliminary steps toward building have already been completed. Madison County Pre-Construction Safety Review approval has been obtained, a permanent address has been assigned (3 S. Paintbrush Trail, Cameron, MT 59720), and an electrical permit has already been issued through December 2, 2026. 3 Rivers fiber optic service is available at the lot, and Northwestern Energy power is located approximately 1000 feet away at Lot 13 along Continental Divide Ranch Road. The seller has also recently invested $7,000 to complete road improvements. Road maintenance and snow removal is the responsibility of the individual owners.
Continental Divide Ranch HOA membership is optional and there are no HOA dues; however, all property owners are subject to the recorded covenants and architectural review requirements whether or not owners elect to join the HOA.
Whether you're envisioning a mountain retreat, full-time residence, or legacy property, this rare offering combines end-of-the-road privacy, breathtaking scenery, and direct access to thousands of acres of National Forest land.
