Property Description

Located along Mill Creek just outside of Anaconda, Montana, this property offers a residential home on acreage with year-round water, historic character, and access to four-season recreation. The acreage includes fenced pasture ground and a barn suitable for horses or livestock, while the setting combines a usable home site with a flowing creek and proximity to extensive public land in one of Southwest Montana’s most recreation-rich regions. At the heart of the home is an original homestead cabin dating to the early 1900s that was relocated from the Big Hole Valley. Portions of the original cabin walls remain visible within the home, adding depth and character that reflect the area’s early settlement. These historic elements are integrated into the living space in a way that feels authentic rather than staged, giving the home a sense of place that is difficult to replicate. The home sits above Mill Creek and features large picture windows that look out over the water and surrounding landscape. From inside the home, it is common to observe wildlife moving through the creek bottom, including deer and moose, often viewed right through the windows while the warmth of the wood stove fills the room on cold winter mornings. Mill Creek flows year-round and supports native cutthroat trout, adding scenery and a constant water presence to the property. Access is provided by Mill Creek Highway (Highway 569), a state-designated highway that allows for dependable year-round access. This makes the property well suited for full-time use, with utilities in place and convenient proximity to Anaconda for schools, medical care, and everyday services. The location offers privacy while maintaining convenient access to essential amenities. In addition to the residential improvements, the property includes fenced pasture areas suitable for horses or other livestock. A barn/shop structure with four stalls provides functional space for animals, equipment, or projects, and is complemented by a heated stock waterer and an insulated outbuilding for additional storage or utility use. The property directly adjoins extensive public land, including the Mount Haggin Wildlife Management Area. This landscape supports elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, moose, and black bear, with wildlife frequently traveling through the Mill Creek corridor and across the adjoining ground.
