Property Overview
Elk Ridge Hunting Retreat pairs genuine seclusion with usable mountain terrain, all within easy reach of Helena, Montana. Set east of the Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountains, this 80± acre property gives owners a quiet, game-filled setting while keeping everyday conveniences close at hand: healthcare, dining, shopping, and commercial air service are all a short drive away. The result is a property that feels worlds apart from town yet stays practical for year-round living or regular getaways.
The landscape shifts across timbered stands, open pockets of native grass, and elevated ridgelines, creating both strong wildlife habitat and a varied, scenic backdrop. Elk, mule deer, moose, black bear, and numerous bird species regularly pass through, a reminder that this is genuinely wild Montana ground. From the higher elevations, owners can take in sweeping mountain views, vivid sunsets, and some of the darkest night skies left in the region.
Flexibility is what truly distinguishes Elk Ridge Hunting Retreat. Free of conservation easements or restrictive covenants, the land leaves a new owner free to pursue whatever fits their vision, be it a secluded weekend escape, a full-time home, or simply a mountain holding to enjoy for years to come.
Thought went into every improvement on the property. The main residence is designed for single-level living, with accessibility features such as step-free entry, grab bars, and a curbless shower. A private office overlooking the Continental Divide makes remote work easy or offers extra guest space. An oversized shop with a large overhead door has plenty of room for vehicles, equipment, and gear, and finished living quarters plus an RV hookup add flexibility for visitors or longer stays.
A short drive from Broadwater Hot Springs and downtown Helena, Elk Ridge Hunting Retreat combines privacy, functionality, and accessibility in a package that’s getting harder to find.
Two related offerings are also available: Elk Ridge Mountain Ranch at 120± acres and Elk Ridge Wilderness Retreat at 160± acres.
