A rare and exceptional opportunity to build your dream home on this pine-studded, scenic, and private 1.7-acre lot bordering the majestic Mount Jumbo, Missoula County open space. The last buildable lot within the highly sought-after Elk Ridge subdivision, this property overlooks the desirable Rattlesnake Valley with unobstructed postcard picture views of the Missoula Valley, Lolo Peak, and Bitterroot Mountains. Perched above the winter's fog, this property is in the sun when the town is dreary. The peaceful and quiet back-to-nature location offers world-class hiking and biking trail access directly from your back door to the Mount Jumbo Open space, Lolo National Forest, North Hills Open Space, Rattlesnake National Recreation Area, and Marshall Mountain Park. Yet this mountainside oasis is only 5 miles from downtown Missoula and 4 miles from the Eastgate Shopping Plaza. Utilities include Northwestern Energy natural gas and electricity, Missoula city water, and high-speed broadband Internet, all underground along the east edge of Elk Ridge Drive. Theres also an opportunity to buy shares in the Elk Ridge neighborhood-owned swimming pool.
