Humbling Highwood Mountain Views

Set on 20 acres near Belt, this property offers something increasingly hard to find: two substantial homes, useful livestock infrastructure, and an open view of the Highwood Mountains. The main residence, built in 2008, provides 3,470 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Two fireplaces add warmth and character, while central air conditioning, laundry hookups on both levels, and an attached heated three-car garage make the home practical for everyday life. Use the separate office to comfortably work from home, or customize the space to suit your lifestyle. The paved driveway, established landscaping, deck, and room to gather give it the settled feel of a true Montana homeplace.

Built in 2022, the second residence is far more than a guest cottage. It offers 3,270 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, main-floor laundry, and an attached heated two-car garage. The primary suite includes dual vanities and a walk-in tile shower, while the balcony frames the Highwood Mountains like a living landscape.

Together, the homes create several possibilities without forcing everyone under one roof. Parents or adult children can live nearby while maintaining their own space. The second home could provide rental income, comfortable quarters for a ranch hand or caretaker, or a private place for extended guests. With separate wells drawing from the Madison Aquifer and two septic systems, each residence has a welcome degree of independence.

The land is equally usable. Perimeter fencing, interior fencing, metal-panel corrals, and a 30-by-50-foot shop with a tack room and calving or animal shelter provide a solid start for horses, cattle, or other livestock. The acreage has historically been used for grass and hay, and water rights convey with the property. There is room here to keep animals close, store equipment properly, and work without turning the homesite into the work yard. Bring the horses, build out the operation to fit your needs, or enjoy the acreage at a quieter pace.

Despite its private, rural setting, the property is easy to access and is a short commute to Belt or Great Falls. The Highwood and Little Belt mountains open the door to horseback riding, hiking, camping, ATV trails, hunting, and scenic mountain drives. Belt Creek and Highwood Creek offer trout fishing, Sluice Boxes State Park is nearby, and winter recreation can be found at Showdown Ski Area, the Silver Crest Nordic trails, and the Kings Hill snowmobile system.

This is not simply a home with extra acreage. It is a flexible Montana property built for people who need space, value independence, and want the Highwoods, Belt Butte and the Belt Valley to be part of the view every day.
