Property Description
Tucked into the timbered hills just outside of the historic community of Philipsburg, this 10.46-acre mining claim offers the kind of Western Montana setting people spend years searching for. Located only three miles from town, you can make a quick trip for groceries, beer, coffee, or supplies, then retreat back into the quiet of the trees & mountain air. It is close enough to stay connected, yet far enough away to truly feel removed from the noise & rush of everyday life. In fact, most people use atvs & utv's as their main form of transportation around P-burg.
Known as the I.B. Lode, this property carries a rich mining history & features several old mine shafts that serve as reminders of Montana's rugged past. The land itself is heavily wooded with multiple natural build sites spread throughout the acreage. Existing roads weave through the property, naturally creating separation between different areas, making it ideal for a multi-family retreat, seasonal cabins, or a private mountain getaway w/ room for everyone to spread out & enjoy their own space.
Granite County allows up to five cabins per parcel, opening the door for an income-producing vacation rental setup, a family compound, or a self-sustaining homestead surrounded by nature. Recently surveyed with markers already in place, much of the groundwork has already been completed. Power appears to be approximately three-tenths of a mile away, & with a little effort, this property could become a comfortable year-round residence. There are full-time residents in the area about three-quarters of a mile away, proving that four-season living is entirely possible here.
Living near Philipsburg means becoming part of one of Montana's most beloved mountain towns. Summer weekends are filled with events, live music, local gatherings, and visitors exploring the historic downtown. Nearby Georgetown Lake offers boating, fishing, kayaking, jet skiing, and ice fishing, while the surrounding mountains provide endless opportunities for snowmobiling, skiing, hiking, hunting, & exploring hundreds of thousands of acres of public land. Spend your afternoons sapphire mining, your evenings around a campfire beneath the pines, & your winters enjoying some of the best recreation Western Montana has to offer.
Whether you envision a private recreational retreat, a mountain homestead, or a destination vacation rental property, this land offers the space, setting, & freedom to bring those ideas to life.
