588 Upper Cottonwood RD Wilsall, MT 59086

Opportunities like this rarely come along. Set at the base of the iconic Crazy Mountains, this beautifully updated cabin offers a truly rare level of access to Montana wilderness—within walking distance to thousands of acres of Forest Service land, trailheads, and high mountain lakes. Properties with this kind of proximity to protected public land are increasingly hard to find, making this an exceptional and limited offering.

Situated on 3.2 private acres, the cabin has been thoughtfully updated within the last year, including a recent addition that blends modern comfort with timeless, vintage-inspired touches. The interior features three bedrooms, two and a half baths, a full kitchen, and warm, inviting living spaces anchored by a charming gas stove—perfect for cozy evenings with a good book after days spent exploring. The primary bedroom opens to a private deck with sweeping views of the Crazy Mountains, an ideal spot to greet the morning or unwind at sunset.

Cottonwood Creek runs through the corner of the property, adding to the peaceful, natural setting. A dry bunkhouse provides additional space for guests, while a fire pit invites evenings under Montana's expansive, star-filled skies. The cabin is tied to power, and a heat pump added in 2025 offers efficient heating and cooling for the primary bedroom.

Outdoor recreation is truly at your doorstep—fly fishing, hunting, hiking, wildlife watching, and access to vast stretches of public land are all just steps away. Access is via a Forest Service road, making the property seasonal unless you have a snowmobile or track vehicle, though there has been winter access by car this winter. The plumbing is not currently configured for winter use but could be modified if year-round use is desired.

Quiet, private, and surrounded by wilderness, this is the kind of Montana retreat that seldom becomes available. A rare chance to own a legacy cabin in one of the state's most sought-after and tightly held mountain settings at the doorstep of the Crazy Mountains.
