10393 Trapper Creek Road Melrose, MT 59743

12.85 Acres bordering the National Forest with a creek, amazing mountain views, trees, elk, and deer, all near Trapper Lake and the famed Big Hole River, here it is. The Montana mountain property you’ve been waiting for that borders the Beaverhead/Deer Lodge National Forest. And it's right out in th...e middle of the Beaverhead Deer Lodge National Forest, not just along the edge of it. There’s an unmaintained county road right to the property and a great building or camping site that’s been cleared right next to the National Forest. There is an older 5th-wheel camper that goes with the property, enjoy some of the most amazing views of the surrounding mountains. There’s Granite Mountain, Lion Mountain, Cleve Mountain, and Sheriff Mountain, to name just a few. The mountains are above tree line and it’s got that great alpine look and feel. It’s a must-see to believe and experience. There’s a seasonal creek right on the property for sparkling mountain water right out your back door. And Sappington Creek is just over the hill, which has small cutthroat trout in it. So, you can go fishing just a short walk from the property on to the National Forest from the property. There are jeep and ATV trails that take you right on to the National Forest from the property and up to near the tops of some of these mountains in the area, where you’ll have a chance of seeing mountain goats and bighorn sheep as well as the elk, deer, and moose. It’s high country at its finest and it’s all close by where you can access it right from the property. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination and ambition. You can also hunt your property for deer and elk or step out onto the National Forest and take off from there. There are thousands and thousands of acres, and you’re right out in the middle of it all. You can hunt both elk and deer with a general tag, and there are extra cow tags you can draw for a second elk as well since the elk are so plentiful in Hunting District 331. There’s vast amounts of country to find them in, so you can’t go wrong. Trapper Lake is a high mountain Lake that’s only about 1 1/2 miles from the property. It has lots of high mountain cutthroat trout in it for lots and lots of fun. The Pioneer Mountains here have lots of high-mountain lakes and streams to hike, explore, and fish. If that’s not enough, the Big Hole River is back down Trapper Creek Road at Melrose, Montana, and the Beaverhead River is nearby, too. It’s a fisherman’s paradise as well! Continue reading
