SOLD – 0.23 acres in Cathedral Mountain Ranch in Stillwater, MT

Discover your own slice of Montana paradise with this 0.23-acre property in the foothills of the Beartooth Mountain Range. Nestled in the scenic Stillwater River Valley, this lot offers a rare investment opportunity to enjoy the peaceful country lifestyle with endless outdoor recreation right at your doorstep.

From this property, you’ll have easy access to hiking and horseback riding trails, trout fishing, skiing, and exciting ATV trails. Seasonal music festivals and a nearby world-class art center add to the vibrant local culture, while the surrounding wilderness provides unlimited opportunities for adventure.

Located in a secure, gated community of over 200 lots, this mountain retreat features custom-built cabins scattered across the mountainside. Each property is designed for privacy, natural beauty, and stunning views. Within the ranch, you’ll also find three private mountain lakes stocked with trout—perfect for relaxing days of catch-and-release fishing.

Since the lot is not heavily wooded, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the Stillwater River, the cliffs of the Stillwater Plateau, Horseman Flats, and nearby lakes and tributaries. This makes it an ideal location for building your dream Montana cabin or holding as a valuable long-term investment.

      • You’ll pass the Bighorn Trail fork at 45.41705, -109.85709 — stay straight on Cathedral Mountain Ranch Trail.
      • Follow this developed road until you reach Elk Lake Road at 45.41716, -109.8639, and then the property access road at 45.42182, -109.86398.
  • Plan your route before you go. We recommend watching the listing video that shows you how to access the land on your own. We suggest using the GPS coordinates and an app like OnxMaps or Landglide (see our blog for a tutorial).
  • Be safe when visiting! Rural, undeveloped land can be dangerous due to terrain, poor or non-existent road access, etc. and calls for caution when visiting. Tell someone where you are going and when you will return. Remember, to respect local landowners and laws. Do not trespass. Ultimately, you, the customer, are responsible for identifying access through due diligence. Wilco will not be held responsible for any actions or outcomes by visitors to our property.
• Utilities Notes:
  • The covenants of Cathedral Mountain Ranch allow owners to install septic systems.  The suitability of any particular lot, for septic installation, should be made by a qualified builder or septic system firm. Approval of septic systems installation is the responsibility of Stillwater County and is made on a case by case basis. All Cathedral Mountain lots have been pre-approved for septic.  The buyer/owner will just need to set up a site evaluation with our sanitarian.
  • A community water system is available. Owners are responsible for paying all costs of construction and maintenance of the service lines from the CMRA main water line including connections and curb stops. The location and connection of the service line to the main line must be approved by the Board and supervised by the Ranch Manager before being backfilled.
  • All Cathedral Mountain lots have been pre-approved for septic.  The buyer/owner will just need to set up a site evaluation with their sanitarian. Here is a copy of the Certificate of Removal of Sanitary Restriction.
  • Power is available in the area. The electrical system must be installed in accordance with state and county codes. The property owner is responsible for meeting these requirements and shall submit a copy of the state electrical permit in the submittal packet for approval prior to installation of the electrical system.
