Own the Front Where Montana Lives

Imagine waking up to unobstructed views of the Rocky Mountain Front stretching endlessly across the horizon. This is the everyday reality that awaits on this exceptional 31.75± acre property on the outskirts of Choteau, Montana. Perched along paved Highway 221, this gently rolling acreage offers elevated building sites that frame the kind of panoramic mountain and countryside views most people only see on postcards. The hard work of getting started is already done — electricity, natural gas, telephone, and city water are all in place, meaning you can focus your energy on building the life you want rather than the infrastructure to support it. The existing large structure presents an intriguing opportunity for those with a creative eye. Restore it, repurpose it, or reimagine it entirely. Few properties offer this kind of built-in potential at this scale. Step off the property and you're already in the middle of one of Montana's most celebrated outdoor playgrounds. The Teton River winds through the region offering world-class fishing for brown and rainbow trout. Teton Pass Ski Resort is just a short drive away, putting a full season of skiing and snowboarding practically at your doorstep. The iconic Rocky Mountain Front — one of the most dramatic landscape transitions in North America — opens into an endless network of hiking, wildlife watching, and backcountry exploration. And when you want the comforts of town? Choteau is moments away, offering restaurants, shops, schools, and community without sacrificing a single acre of that wide-open Montana feeling. The Choteau Airport sits less than a mile from the property line, making this an equally appealing option for those who want easy access without sacrificing remoteness. Properties like this, with legal paved access, utilities, established improvements, sweeping views, and proximity to both town and true wilderness, simply don't come available often.

Rocky Mountain Front This portion of Montana has a greater diversity of fish and wildlife than any other state in the US. With protection from the altering contours of the land and ample food from the surrounding farm fields, wildlife and birds alike flourish making this area a coveted destination during the hunting and fishing seasons. The area provides year-long habitat for mule and white-tailed deer, elk, mountain goat, bighorn sheep, and antelope. In addition, other furbearers such as beaver, mink, muskrat, otter, weasel, badger, coyote, lynx, bobcat and mountain lion can all be found within a 100-mile radius. White-tail and mule deer maintain a healthy population here as it is a wintering destination for the species. Mule deer are often open-country deer offering those with farm ground or acres such as these a treasure trove of delicious tasting, large, beautiful bucks. Mule deer are not as shy as whitetails and are content with little cover or sparse brush. They have the distinctive large ears that stick out like a big V against a hillside. However, these big bucks, ones with a 30 inch inside antler spread, are quite challenging to track down. They prefer the rugged areas such as badlands and breaks. Glorious long walks through fields and up and down draws can reward you with a big mule deer buck. The open country can also provide the added challenge of bagging the swift antelope. These speed goats are all over the countryside, so the challenge is waiting for your acceptance. The drainages and foothills provide cover, coulees, and water for superb mule and white-tailed deer hunting. The area offers some of the most prime bow hunting for white-tailed hunting in the entire state. There are also plenty of pheasants, Hungarian Partridge, Rough Grouse, Blue Grouse, and Spruce Grouse. Bird watchers can revel in seeing Calliope, Rufus Hummingbird, Bluebird, Cassin Finch, Red Crossbill, Ferrungus Hawks, Pine Grosbeak and Western Tanager. Glacier National Park The coveted area nicknamed the “Crown of the Continent” for obvious reasons offers gems and views of gold in the state of Montana. With over 700 miles of trails through pristine forests, alpine meadows sprinkled with bright lovely wildflowers, rugged and tenacious mountains and spectacular sparkling lakes. Visit the historic chalets and lodges for a walk back in time or backpack, cycle, hike, or camp. While taking in the astounding sights of the glacier carved peaks and valleys, set your binoculars on a diverse range of wildlife of big horn sheep, mountain goats, deer, elk, ptarmigan, and both black and grizzly bear. This highway to heaven is a tough one to ever forget. Freezeout Lake Wildlife Management Area The Freezeout Lake Wildlife Management Area is located between Fairfield and Choteau and is known for the massive snow geese and tundra swan migrations that take place in the spring and fall. Flying all the way from the gulf states, as many as 300,000 snow geese and 10,000 tundra swans gather at the lake to rest before continuing on to the arctic coast of Canada.
