Tucked away at the curve of the Madison River, where mountain views stretch wide and the pulse of Ennis, Montana echoes with fly fishing lore, this 2.3± acre sanctuary has been held in quiet reverence for 70 years. Madison Angler’s Retreat boasts expansive views overlooking undeveloped State land where the Madison River gorges during the winter. Bordering over 500 feet of the Madison River, this end-of-the-road offering provides a unique sense of privacy and unparalleled fishing access out your backdoor. Perched on a bench at the bend of the Madison River with a walking path down to the water, this one-of-a-kind property includes a modest home and two lots making up a little over two acres, presenting an incredible opportunity for a new owner to write the next chapter, creating new memories and crafting great fishing tales. Nestled among mature trees that provide shade from the west while preserving stunning mountain and river view corridors, this well-cared-for home features four bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including an expansive primary suite. The home includes a new kitchen and a charming den with a wood-burning fireplace. This is the perfect move-in ready getaway, or it can serve as a place to stay while building your Montana dream home. The Madison combines its flow with the Jefferson and Gallatin Rivers near Three Forks, Montana, to form the Missouri River. Throughout its length, the Madison changes character from riffle, run, and pool water to turbulent pocket water to a stretch commonly referred to as “the 50-mile riffle.” The Madison is known for its dry fly fishing. From blue-wing olives and midges in the springtime, the salmon fly hatch in June, mayflies, caddis, hoppers, and terrestrials in the summer, and back to blue-wing olives and midges in the fall and winter – throw in some of the best streamer fishing in the state as well as great nymph fishing. You’ve got a river that can provide a lifetime of entertainment for beginners as well as seasoned veterans.
