Lot 400 Lightning Ridge Trail Three Forks, MT 59752
NOW SELLER FINANCING: 50% down, 7% interest, monthly payment around $500, lump sum payoff within 5 years, split all closing costs, & buyer pays for escrow account to track payments: 10-acre Lot 400 has breathtaking views from its SW corner & from a natural clearing adjacent to that with flat building sites providing incomparable seclusion, ideal for building that getaway cabin. Elevation of 5500’ means access would be seasonal via ATV-4x4-snowmobile using Lightning Ridge Trail. Cool summer breezes, bountiful wildlife (pictured) make this a most desirable property at about one hundredth of price per acre compared to nearby Gallatin Valley & Bozeman. Retired FWP biologist says 750 head of elk reside in the area, not counting migrants. Electricity is via solar, wind, propane, generator or a combo. Rainwater collection system off of a cabin roof would be a least expensive way to go. PUBLIC LANDS lie 1.5 mi NE and SW; PUBLIC RIVER LANDS are 8 mi drive where entire river can be fished legally, or where one may watch migratory waterfowl or upland game birds being chased by eagles. Montana has a little known regulation called “non-qualified Ag land” such that if connected acreages add up to 20+ acres with the same owner of record, property tax per 20 acres is about the same as for 10 acres; accordingly, as of June 2023 Lot 398-399 with a well is for sale searching Realtor.com with #378991 & Lot 396 is for sale searching with #379009; see last picture here for configuration.
