Versatile, accessible, incredibly picturesque 16+ acre property w/panoramic views of mountains & water. One of very few bordering Bureau of Reclamation ("BOR") land that surrounds the Helena Regulating Reservoir, a non-motorized recreation area coveted for incredible bird watching, fishing, wildlife spotting, & serene paddling. Topography is flat/rolling, considered agricultural. Helena Valley Irrigation Dist canal along the west boundary & BOR/Reservoir on the east boundary. Electricity is "to" the property, & there is a particularly ideal building site perched on a bench that would offer breathtaking views in every direction. 6+/- mile walking trail around the reservoir, but no vehicles permitted; leaving this side of the water extremely private & peaceful; an ecologically significant area for myriad species that nest & live on & around the reservoir. Antelope, deer, waterfowl of all species, jackrabbits, red fox, hungarian partridge, & numerous neotropical migrant birds abound. Just a short distance to the usual amenities of a small city: Within a 10-15 minute drive, the Helena Regional Airport, box stores, groceries, and medical care. Less than 20 minutes from Helena's historic downtown, with great restaurants, shops, breweries, coffee, a distillery, community theater, performing arts center, live music, and galleries. Motorized water recreation is 10-12 minutes away at both Hauser Lake and Canyon Ferry Lake and of course the area is renowned for blue ribbon fishing streams, and abundant access to public land for hunting, hiking, cross country skiing, and mountain biking. This is a place where you settle in and build that quintessential Montana lifestyle; a place to put down roots, live your healthiest life, realize dreams, and make memories for generations!
