About 35 Otter Lane
Tucked away in the heart of NW Montana wilderness, this rare 10.18-acre retreat borders thousands of acres of pristine US Forest Service land, offering unmatched privacy, recreation, and year-round access on Otter Lane. Surrounded by towering cedar trees, abundant wildlife, and the peaceful sounds of seasonal Otter Creek, this property is the definition of Montana mountain living.
The property features two separate cabins, two septic systems, a private well, 6 outbuildings, including a woodshed/tool shed and generator shed for the A-frame. A large cedar storage shed midway up the road. By the small cabin is an open woodshed, an outhouse, and the water shed. There is phone and internet availability—providing the perfect balance of off-grid independence and modern comfort. The charming A-frame cabin offers nearly 1000 square feet with an open two-story floor plan, new flooring, king sized bed in the loft, a beautifully updated bathroom, and a spacious deck overlooking the creek and forest. The cedar shake roof has been replaced with durable metal for added fire protection, and a brand-new Lopi wood stove keeps the cabin warm, efficient, and cozy through every season.
Perched above the property to capture breathtaking views of the Cabinet Mountain Range, the newly built cabin was thoughtfully designed and crafted in Idaho. Warm and inviting, it features a full kitchen, bathroom, running hot water, wood-burning stove, and a king-size loft bed—creating the perfect guest quarters, rental opportunity, or private getaway.
Meticulously thinned and groomed into a park-like setting for fire resistance and camping opportunities, the land itself is a true highlight.

Located in an outstanding hunting and fishing area, this property is a dream basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts.
