WHAT IF HUNT CAMP WAS ALSO YOUR HOME?!
This place would make a GREAT Montana hunting lodge/base camp.
Located in Hunting District 240, this 19.55-acre property puts you right at the edge of the Bitterroot National Forest, with direct access to established Forest Service trails from the property. No loading horses or ATVs into a trailer just to get to the trailhead. You can head out from the backyard and into the mountains.
And when the hunt is over, this is where 181 Hart Bench really separates itself from your average hunt camp.
Come back to 7,868-square-feet of lodging with room for the whole crew - settle in around one of the fireplaces - shoot a little pool, soak in the hot tub, or unwind in the sauna.
For 2026, HD 240 offers either-sex white-tailed deer opportunity on private land, including archery and general-season opportunities, along with brow-tined bull elk opportunities under the applicable season and license regulations. Always verify current FWP regulations and land-specific requirements before hunting.
And hunting isn't the only reason this property works as a Montana base camp. There's also:
• 19.55 acres
• Direct Bitterroot National Forest access
• 5-stall barn and riding arena
• Irrigated pasture
• Heated workshop
• Private hot tub and sauna
• Game room with wet bar
• Huge deck & covered porch for BBQ & outdoor entertaining
• Mountain views
• Fenced garden and chicken pen
• Whole-house backup generator and solar panels
• Private guest wing in the house (with rental history)
• Guest quarters over the shop with short-term rental history
