CANYON FERRY OVERLOOK

This stunning 902-deeded-acre recreational property sits 22 miles southeast of Helena and 11 miles northwest of Townsend, offering spectacular views of Canyon Ferry Reservoir. The property provides easy lake access through several short stretches of BLM and Bureau of Reclamation land, with portions of the land extending close to the water’s edge.

The property boasts panoramic views of the expansive reservoir framed by the Big Belt Mountains to the east and the Elkhorn Mountains to the west, creating an endless visual landscape.

The terrain consists of well-defined native grasslands dotted with junipers and sagebrush across gently rolling to moderately steep topography. Several ridgelines cut through the property, creating deep drainages filled with conifers, cottonwoods, and deciduous trees that provide natural shade and shelter. This diverse landscape has historically supported cattle grazing under lease agreements and serves as prime habitat for local wildlife, particularly antelope.

The property is bordered by Bureau of Reclamation land to the north and west along the lake, 80 acres of BLM land to the southwest, and large private ranches to the south and west. Access is provided via a one-mile, 60-foot easement on a two-track road that is primarily undeveloped for ingress and egress, as well as utilities. There are provisions in the easement that allow for the construction of an access roadway outside the easement's limits if necessary.

Historically, the property, which is partially perimeter-fenced, has run approximately 100 cow-calf pairs, plus bulls, for the summer grazing season. There is a well, which is used to fill two stock tanks and a stock water right that will convey with the property. There are no known covenants appurtenant to the property.

This property offers a new owner exceptional privacy, breathtaking scenery, and unlimited potential to create their own recreational retreat with direct access to Canyon Ferry Reservoir and countless outdoor activities.
