Property Description

Are you dreaming of remote living far from bright lights and city crowds? This old cabin on 20 acres at the foot of the Pryor Mountains, miles from power and people, may fit the bill. It offers spectacular views of the east face of the Pryor Mountains that loom above you, with the Bighorn Mountains to the east and the rugged Bighorn Canyon in-between. No one lives within 20 miles of this property, only antelope, sage grouse, mule deer, wild horses, Bighorn sheep and elk on occasion. There is a 1600+ sq. foot “earthship” cabin, built in 2007 (2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths) that is in poor shape and will need significant repairs. It has not been lived in for over 5 years and has suffered greatly (see photos). Original owner reported it has a septic, but no permit is on file. Propane and wood for heat and cooking, with a well that is reported to have 1/2 gallon per minute. There is also a 400 sq. foot barn, corral area & pump house for well. It is fenced on the east side of county road. Cell phone coverage is spotty; internet would need to be by satellite. Transmission power lines run along the eastern edge of the property, but there are no nearby power lines that one could hook into. This property is remote, offering one an opportunity to escape the city lights and have a secluded cabin with spectacular views in an area seldom visited by others. Year-round access to the property with a 4x4 would be possible, but may require some snowplowing in the winter. This land is only a mile from the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation area, a treasure of public land in your backyard known for its wild horses, 1000 foot cliffs and canyons, and miles of water for boating. Lovell, Wyoming (pop 2400) is 30 miles to the south for shopping needs, while Cody (pop 10,000) is 75 miles away and has a commercial airport. The largest city in the area is Billings, Montana, which is 125 miles to the north via Lovell and Bridger, MT. With about 120,000 people Billings offers all major retail outlets, excellent regional medical facilities, as well as an International Airport. The owner will finance with at least 10% down. 20 acres a half mile to the north is also available for $69,500. Call for details.
