Spreading Winge , Nye, MT 59061 (Carbon County)

Size: 45.5 Acres

This acreage is a stunning hillside with drop dead beautiful mountain and river views and river access. You are looking at the second highest Mountain in Montana from there, which is Mount Wood. All the mountains around you are in the National Forest and at the end of the road going west a few miles down from the property; you have a 26 miles trail to the Yellowstone Park through the Wilderness area.

The area gets the warm Chinook winds in winter, so there is hardly any snow in that little pocket of Montana. The five acres parcels along the river in front of it sell for $ 300,000, but this hillside has much better views and you can still catch a couple of trout for lunch from your river access right off the property. Not only that, but your horses have more room to roam! The property would lend itself to an earth bermed home and a walk out basement!

The first photo gallery below feat...

The first photo gallery below features four photos the owner had taken from the property on a stormy day, the rest is from Google Earth, and then I added some other photos I had taken previously in the area. If you run your mouse to the top of the photo, it will tell you the location.

I walked the whole property and posted the photos in the second gallery below. The north end is kind of flat, so you could build a barn there. The middle features two great hills and when I stood between them, I could not see any of the neighbors, just the mountains and heard the rushing of the river. The hills would protect you from the sometimes fierce winds from the mountains.

The property can be divided into two tracts, which is 10.6 on the SW corner and 34.75 acres for the remainder. The underground power and phone utilities are at the NW corner of tract 17 (34.75 ac.). The 10 acre tract does not have utilities, stubbed in, but they are just across the road from there. The 35 acres tract has 430 ft. along the Nye highway. The owner of the property also has the right to drill a water well in the easement should a good well not be able to be drilled on either tract. The wells in the area pump around 20 gallons per minute.

The access to the Stillwater is just past the second circular drive on the north end of the satellite photos. You can barely make out a lightly colored narrow mowed strip from the property line to the river, so I drew a bigger line there.

Nye is an old gold mining town and now we have the one and only platinum mine in the US hiding there in the canyon. Hence the nicely paved highway, otherwise the highway would be gravel, I am sure. The mine won many awards for environmental measures and the miners are being bussed to the mine to keep the traffic to a minimum.

Since Nye is at the end of the road and surrounded on three sides by National Forest, the area features and abundance of wildlife. The area features an Elk Herd of 300 head, 1,400 deer (!) and moose, but I do not know the exact count for those. There are also mountain sheep (their winter range is right next to the Stillwater Mine), mountain goats and of course black bears. I have seen more wildlife there than in the Yellowstone Park!
