Tucked away on 5.06 wooded acres just outside Kila, this unique mountain property offers natural beauty and the opportunity to bring a one-of-a-kind vision to completion. The journey begins with a stunning scenic drive through open meadows, mountain country, and creek crossings before arriving at this privately situated property surrounded by beautiful custom homes. The 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin showcases thoughtful custom craftsmanship, including beautiful exposed beam work and a handcrafted stair railing. The main living area features a wood stove, full bath, bedroom, and lofted sleeping area, creating a warm and inviting retreat with plenty of character. An unfinished guest-quarters area provides tremendous potential for additional living space, studio space, guest accommodations, or whatever best suits your needs. Outside, the wooded acreage offers a year-round stream, gardens, and a greenhouse—elements that lend themselves beautifully to a more self-sufficient and sustainable lifestyle. The stream currently feeds a cistern and flows into a pump house that provides water to the home. No recorded water rights have been located for the property, so buyers should conduct their own due diligence regarding water rights and the existing water system. The property is served by power and a septic system and permit are in place. An existing outhouse is also connected to the septic system. The home remains under construction and will require additional work, making this an opportunity for someone ready to bring their tools, craftsmanship, and ideas to the property. The atypical foundation may present financing considerations, and buyers should consult with their lender regarding qualification. With no covenants, the possibilities are extensive. Back-road access toward Blacktail Mountain Ski Area adds to the recreational appeal, while the property's secluded setting provides a peaceful base for enjoying Montana's mountains, forests, and abundant outdoor opportunities. If you're looking for a property with character, privacy, and room to create something truly your own, this Kila-area retreat offers a rare opportunity to finish the vision.
