LAND DESCRIPTION
Own a private piece of Montana paradise with this 10.02-acre property in Stillwater County, just outside Columbus, Montana. Surrounded by rolling hills, meadows, and mountain views, this off-grid parcel offers space, solitude, and big sky beauty—ideal for building, camping, or long-term investment.
There is no zoning in Stillwater County, and no residential building permit is required—just a septic permit from the Environmental Health Department. Camping, RVs, and mobile homes are allowed, giving you flexibility to create your perfect retreat.
This is an as-is land offering, perfect for someone seeking a rugged, scenic getaway in Montana’s countryside. Enjoy low annual taxes, no HOA oversight, and plenty of room to explore. Let Wilco Land help you make your Montana landownership dream a reality!
This property does have easement documents and plat maps on file (see below link). However, the neighbors have fought us on that. I have documented the evidence that supports legal access to this land in our access notes below.
In our eyes, we think there is a strong case, including documented support that there is legal access and easements to get to this land. Neighbors don’t agree. The Buyer will want to work with an attorney, surveyor, etc to confirm their access and enforce their access rights. This probably won’t happen before your purchase and the property is priced with this in mind.
Wilco is not guaranteeing access and selling the property as-is. Neighbors are not willing to discuss access, so we advise a surveyor or attorney to confirm and enforce your access rights.

A summary of access language from the covenants of this subdivision:
The indication or identification on said plat of access roads and trails is not a dedication of such road or trails to the public, and such roads or trails shall remain private roads and trails for the use only of the developer of said area and the owners of land located within said area, their guests and permittees…
Maintenance and improvement of any such road or trails shall be the responsibility soley of the owner or owners of the lots, access to which is available over such road or trail, and the undersigned developer and initial owner shall have no responsibility with respect to any such road or trail, except that the developer shall initially, by dozer or other appropriate equipment open an unimproved primary road or trail, passable for automobiles, leading to the vicinity of each lot, but the opening, improvement and maintenance of lateral roads or trails from such primary road or trail to a specific building site shall be the responsibility of the owner of such lot. - Wilco is not guaranteeing access and selling the property as-is. Neighbors are not willing to discuss this with us, so we advise a surveyor or attorney to confirm and understand your access rights. Do not disturb the neighbors. We have attempted to talk to them about access and it has gone no where. The next Buyer will have to figure it out.
- Plan your route before you go. We recommend using the GPS coordinates and an app like OnxMaps (see our blog for a tutorial), County GIS maps, our Google Earth map link and Satellite images to map out potential access routes before visiting.
- 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.
