About this 3 bedroom 2 bath house

The Missouri River Legacy Retreat is an extraordinary 107.6 acre Montana estate with more than half a mile of Missouri River frontage. Surrounded by the river and federal land, the property offers an exceptional combination of privacy, space, and permanence. Renowned for its scenic beauty, the Missouri River provides an exceptional setting for fly fishing, rafting, quiet mornings on the water, and evenings overlooking the mountains. Beyond the river, open fields, rolling hills, and dramatic overlooks are connected by private roads, while wildlife moves throughout the property and surrounding federal land. Located along the historic route of the Lewis & Clark Expedition and across the river from the York Islands, the property is deeply connected to Montana’s history of exploration and settlement. A 3,362 square-foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage with a substantial attached heated shop, provides a comfortable base for enjoying the property today. A second prepared homesite captures expansive Missouri River and mountain views. Graded and accompanied by an approved septic permit, the site offers an exceptional location for a future primary residence. With no known conservation easement, restrictive covenants, or zoning, the property offers an uncommon degree of flexibility. Its scale and setting provide the opportunity for a private sporting estate, family compound, multigenerational retreat, or enduring Montana legacy. Despite its sense of remoteness, the property is remarkably accessible. You'll find everyday conveniences in Townsend, Montana, just 10 miles away, while Helena, Bozeman, and the Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport are all within easy reach. Some properties are admired for their setting; others become part of a family’s story. The Missouri River Legacy Retreat is both—a rare opportunity to create traditions, gather generations, and build a lasting Montana legacy defined by river frontage, privacy, scale, and setting.
