983 Upper Willow Creek Road

The Upper Willow Creek Retreat is an exceptional recreational ranch property spanning 173 acres with over a mile of Upper Willow Creek meandering through lush riparian meadows and pockets of timber. Located in a pristine and hidden valley near Philipsburg, it is the perfect destination for those seeking outdoor adventures. The property is home to a diverse array of wildlife in an area renowned for its big game hunting. It adjoins both Forest Service and State land, providing limitless recreational opportunities throughout thousands of acres of surrounding forest. The property is flanked by timbered ridges with striking views of distant peaks, offering unparalleled scenery and solitude. Once part of a larger neighboring ranch, the property is fenced for grazing and includes water rights from Willow and Rattling Creeks. Improvements include a cozy 12x16 timber cabin equipped with a wood stove and a domestic well. A 960-foot grass landing strip allows access for small planes. Currently, the property is off-grid with solar potential, and grid power could be trenched in from the south. With cold water and year-round flow, Upper Willow Creek is an important tributary of nearby Rock Creek and is home to native cutthroat and other trout species. Many of western Montana’s storied fisheries are nearby and within striking distance. Situated on the valley floor in the upper reaches of a quiet valley with limited development, the retreat offers seclusion while remaining only 21 miles from Philipsburg's amenities, 95 miles from Missoula, and the property is proximate to the area’s many recreational destinations, including Georgetown Lake and Discovery Ski Area. With unmatched scenic beauty, limitless recreational opportunities, and set in the highly sought-after Philipsburg area, the Upper Willow Creek Retreat is a must-see in today’s land market.
