As the heart of the Valley, Sheridan offers easy access to them all.

MADISON COUNTY: Down in Southwest Montana, sharing a tiny portion of its southern border with Idaho is Madison County. This mountainous part of Montana is wedged between Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks, and its residents maintain their local traditions that are inspired by the natural landscape, like fishing, ranching, and all things outdoors.
The county seat is Virginia City, an interesting place split between the historic and the contemporary. Half of the town contains a vibrant, current-day population, while the other half is an abandoned mining town, preserved as a slice of history and a window into the lives of settlers from the mid-1800s.
While Virginia City is probably the countys largest touristic draw, the nearby town of Ennis is a delightful stop for passers-through, and is host to many annual events. Though it doesnt immediately border Yellowstone National Park, Madison County, and more specifically Ennis, can make a great base from which to explore the park.

Because of such an availability of gems to be found, there are many Mineral and Gem Clubs throughout the state.
The geology of Montana had a history of volcanic activity which is largely responsible for the wide variety of interesting rocks and minerals to be found here.

MADISON VALLEY
The Madison Valley where our claims are located, is an area rooted in farming and ranching with blue ribbon rivers, majestic mountain ranges, abundant wildlife, and small towns with rural values.

Today, rural and community values keep ranching as the main way of life in the Madison Valley. Through conservation, the Madison Valley has sustained productive agricultural land, healthy grasslands, and abundant wildlife.
In addition to its old west charm, the Madison Valley has arguably the most superb fly-fishing waters in all the world and the Madison River may be our most glorious. Meriwether Lewis named the river in 1805 after James Madison, who was the US Secretary of State at the time. Starting in Yellowstone National Park, the river is 183 miles of perfectly moving riffles that are teaming with trout.
Ennis is the base camp of the Madison Valley, a colorful town filled with fly anglers and ranchers,

The area has it all, and owning this fantastic property will put every bit of it right at the back door of the cabin in the mountains you always wanted to build. Youll want to order a copy of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest Central map so you can plan your days and weeks of hiking, fishing, hunting, biking, and ATVing. The Montana mountain wildflowers here are phenomenal too. Theres so much to see and enjoy. The views are breathtaking, and the setting is one youll have to see and experience to believe.

Or for now, just pull your camper in or put up your tent and start enjoying this amazing setting right away. You can fish for cutthroat and brook trout right in the river on your very own property then go up and down the river onto all the National Forest lands and keep right on fishing. The river pours right out of numerous high mountain lakes that are chock full of trout. Lakes like Brannan Lake, Sailor Lake, Lake Louise, Lost Cabin Lake, Globe Lake and more are all here to be fished and enjoyed. These are high mountain lakes that are pristine and picturesque with the mountain peaks jutting up right from their shores.

The spruce, fir, and pine forests here provide cover and shade for your property, the streams, rivers, and lakes and the wildlife who live here. Being up at the higher elevations where the property sits, its cooler here than down in the valley bottoms in the summer too. And the cool splashing waters of the river and the shade of the trees all around you will provide even more comfort from those hot summer days. This is strictly an off the grid recreational property for summer and fall use as its way back in the mountains on a mountain road and gets too much snow for year-round living. Its certainly possible to snowmobile in during the winter and spring months to visit your property and the cabin you build for Christmas or New Years or a few weeks or weekends in between. Itll be that happy place you go for peace and solitude, and you wont want to leave once you get there.
Where can you find a property like this with South Boulder River frontage bordering the National Forest with a leveled cabin site in the forest and such amazing fishing opportunities, hunting and mountains right outside your legacy property? The answer is right here. This opportunity isnt one youll want to miss or regret not taking advantage of.

Scenic Montana Retreat Near Ennis – A Rare Opportunity to Build Your Dream Property
There are properties that simply exist, and then there are properties that invite you into a lifestyle — places where the land, the views, and the surrounding amenities combine to create something that feels truly rare. This parcel near Ennis, Montana, bordering the national forest and the Mustang Ranches, belongs in that latter category. It is not just a piece of land; it is an opportunity to step into the Montana lifestyle that so many dream of, but few actually achieve.
From the moment you set foot on this property, you can sense its uniqueness. It offers not only access to world-class recreation but also the sense of privacy and seclusion that makes Montana living so appealing. Yet despite its quiet, untouched setting, it remains conveniently close to the Madison River, the charming town of Ennis, and even the Big Sky Airport for those with a love of flying. Whether you are looking to build a forever home, a vacation retreat, or an investment property that others will clamor to experience, this parcel provides the perfect canvas.
Direct National Forest Access – A Private Gateway to Adventure
One of the most striking features of this property is its adjacency to the national forest. In Montana, public land access is one of the state’s most treasured assets, but not all access points are created equal. What makes this parcel so distinctive is the non-public access point that connects directly into the surrounding forest service land.
This means you do not have to compete with crowded trailheads or busy recreational spots. Instead, you can step directly from your own land into the vast network of wilderness that Montana is famous for. Imagine waking up on a cool summer morning, lacing up your boots, and heading straight from your front door onto miles of trails for hiking or horseback riding. In the fall, you can venture into the forest for hunting trips without the stress of fighting for access or traveling long distances. In the winter, snowmobiling adventures can begin just steps away from your property.
For those who crave a connection to the outdoors, this private forest access alone makes the property invaluable. It’s not just land—it’s a year-round launch pad for adventure.
Minutes from the Madison River
Of course, no description of this property would be complete without mentioning its proximity to the world-famous Madison River. Known for its exceptional fly fishing, the Madison draws anglers from across the globe. To live just minutes away means you can fish after work, take family outings on weekends, or simply relax on its banks whenever the mood strikes.
The Madison is a blue-ribbon trout stream, and the stretch near Ennis is particularly renowned. Whether you are an experienced angler who has long dreamed of fishing these waters or a newcomer eager to learn, living this close to the river is an unparalleled gift. Beyond fishing, the Madison offers opportunities for rafting, kayaking, and wildlife viewing. It is a river that defines the landscape and lifestyle of this region, and having it so close by only enhances the appeal of this property.
Conveniently Close to Downtown Ennis
While the property provides seclusion and a wilderness backdrop, it is also just a short drive to downtown Ennis. This small Montana town embodies the spirit of the West, offering a vibrant mix of local shops, restaurants, and community events.
In Ennis, you will find everything from cozy coffee shops to western outfitters, art galleries to fly shops, and local breweries that capture the unique flavor of Montana. The town is big enough to provide everyday conveniences but small enough to retain its authentic charm. Residents often speak about the strong sense of community here—neighbors look out for one another, and newcomers are welcomed with genuine warmth.
For anyone looking to build a home where they can enjoy both seclusion and community, this property strikes the perfect balance.
A Haven for Outdoor Enthusiasts
The lifestyle possibilities here are endless. With national forest access, the Madison River nearby, and mountain ranges stretching in every direction, you are truly surrounded by Montana’s best recreation. Consider just a few of the opportunities that await:
Hiking & Backpacking: Explore miles of trails leading into alpine meadows, rugged peaks, and hidden lakes.
Hunting: With direct forest access, you can enjoy one of the most sought-after hunting regions in the state without the hassle of distant travel.
Horseback Riding: Ride into the mountains just as generations of Montanans have before you.
Fishing: Experience world-class fly fishing on the Madison, or explore nearby rivers and lakes.
Snowmobiling & Winter Sports: When the snow falls, trade your fishing rod for a snowmobile and head into the wilderness right from your backyard.
Wildlife Viewing: Moose, elk, deer, and eagles are all part of the local ecosystem. Every day feels like a chance to spot something remarkable.
For those who dream of living in a place where recreation is not something you plan for weekends or vacations but rather something woven into your daily life, this property delivers on every front.
Aviation Enthusiasts Welcome – Big Sky Airport Nearby
For buyers with a passion for aviation, there is an added benefit: the Ennis Big Sky Airport (EKS) is just down the road. This public-use airport accommodates small aircraft and private planes, making it easy for property owners to fly in and out without the hassle of large commercial airports.
Imagine having your plane nearby, ready to take you on quick trips to other Montana destinations or even beyond. Whether you are a pilot yourself or simply appreciate the convenience of having access to private aviation, this feature adds another dimension of value and flexibility to the property.
Development Potential – Groundwork Already Completed
Purchasing raw land often comes with questions about infrastructure, utilities, and building feasibility. Fortunately, much of the groundwork here has already been addressed. Importantly, the property has completed Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) legwork for septic approval, saving you both time and expense.
This means you are one step closer to building your dream home. Whether you envision a rustic log cabin that blends seamlessly into the surroundings or a modern mountain retreat with large windows to frame the views, this property is ready to accommodate your vision. With utilities in mind and an easement in place for access, you can move forward with confidence in the practicality of your investment.
Privacy, Easements, and Access
It is important to note that the property comes with an easement for access, ensuring that you can legally and conveniently reach your land. At the same time, this arrangement provides a sense of seclusion, as you will not experience the heavy traffic of more public areas.
Potential buyers are advised not to visit the property without permission—this policy helps preserve the privacy and integrity of the land while ensuring that viewings are coordinated appropriately. Some of the photos provided showcase not only the property itself but also the surrounding forest service land and neighboring areas, offering a broader perspective of what life here entails.
A Rare Opportunity in Montana’s Paradise Valley Region
Parcels like this do not come on the market often. With private forest access, proximity to the Madison River, convenience to Ennis and the airport, and recreational opportunities in every season, this property truly represents the best of Montana living.
It appeals to a wide variety of buyers:

Your afternoons might be spent fishing the Madison, exploring forest trails, or simply relaxing on your deck with a panoramic view of the Montana wilderness. In the evenings, you could gather around a firepit with family and friends, telling stories under a sky filled with stars unspoiled by city lights.
This is not just a piece of property—it is the backdrop for a lifetime of memories. It is a chance to live in harmony with nature while still enjoying the comforts and conveniences of nearby Ennis. It is the promise of adventure, peace, and freedom all rolled into one.

If you have been searching for a property that combines location, lifestyle, and investment potential, this is your chance. With much of the preliminary work already complete and with features that are virtually impossible to replicate, this land offers exceptional value.
Final Thoughts
This parcel near Ennis represents more than just acreage—it represents a way of life. From its private forest access to the blue-ribbon waters of the Madison River, from the convenience of Ennis and Big Sky Airport to the countless recreational opportunities at your doorstep, it is a property that captures everything people love about Montana.
