Musselshell County Tract SMT51
This rugged secluded 20 acre tract of land is located in Musselshell County, Montana just 8 short miles southeast of the small town of Roundup, Montana. Access will be via Smith Road, a private road for landowners in this area. Many people that work in Billings call this area home since it's a short 38 mile commute to the north.
This land is roughly 80-90% timber with a small meadow. You will need a 4WD to access this rugged, remote tract of land during the winter months as this private road is not maintained. There are no utilities established to this lot. The terrain consists of some flat areas with some mountainous terrain with rolling hills. Land is rugged in nature with large ponderosa pines and natural grasses known in this area of Montana. Wildflowers can also be found during the warmer spring months. If you love the outdoors, this land is for you!
Musselshell County does not require a building permit. There are also no covenants for this area. A log cabin with the timber on the property would be ideal!!

• CAN I RESELL MY PROPERTY IN THE FUTURE AND MAKE A PROFIT?
While there is no guarantee of profit from any land sale, historically land prices have increased in value. We believe there are many reasons for this upward trend, including inflation, population growth, a decreasing land supply, the public’s desire for a more natural environment, the trend toward movement away from urban areas, and the increasing popularity of outdoor recreational activities.

In other words, how good, quick, or easy is the access to the property from the main highway or county road. The beauty of the property mainly pertains to the vegetation and scenery.
