Opportunity knocks in the heart of Montana's wide-open prairie country! Priced with potential in mind, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home in Opheim offers 2,200 square feet of living space and plenty of possibilities.

Previously used as an income-producing rental, the home is ready for its next chapter. While some renovations have been started, there's still room to roll up your sleeves and make it your own. The kitchen is functional but ready for a complete makeover, while fresh bedroom carpeting, basement paint, and additional cosmetic updates would go a long way toward bringing out the home's potential.

Competitively priced to reflect the updates needed, this is an opportunity for buyers willing to invest a little elbow grease and bring their vision to life.

Area Attractions Fort Peck Lake Fort Peck Lake is Montana's largest body of water at 134 miles in length and a maximum depth of 220 feet. The shoreline spans more than 1,520 miles. That's longer than the California coast! More than 50 different kinds of fish call this body of water home.
In 1933, a 3.8-mile dam was constructed across the Missouri River creating the reservoir. Anglers flock here for the Walleye, Northern Pike, Paddlefish, Sauger, Lake Trout, Small Mouth Bass, and Chinook Salmon. There are several access points and boat ramps.
Nelson Reservoir Designated as one of the ultimate Walleye fishing areas in the state of Montana, Nelson Reservoir covers 4,000 acres of water. Located in northeast Montana 17 miles east of Malta, the reservoir attracts anglers promising to produce record-class fish!
Nelson Reservoir is stocked with Walleye, Yellow Perch, and Northern Pike. The reservoir produced a state record for Walleye with a whopping 14-pound one! Ice fishing is also popular when the cold months set in. Spearing, angling, and tip-ups are the most popular methods when ice fishing.
The 288-acre area allows for fishing, camping, boating, or swimming. The Milk River Forty-one different species of fish swim the milky waters of the Milk River. One of prominence is the Channel Catfish. On May 8, 1805, the first "tourists" to this region, the Lewis and Clark Expedition, camped at the confluence of the Milk and Missouri rivers, about 18 miles southeast of present-day Glasgow.
After exploring the river, Lewis called it "Milk River" because of its color resembling that of a "cup of tea admixture of a tablespoon full of milk." Sport Fishing and Local Tournaments Partake in the national event held in July at Fort Peck known as Montana's Governor's Cup Walleye Fishing Tournament.
This tournament is Northeast Montana's premier walleye fishing tournament. Another fierce fishing tournament held in this area is the Milk River Catfish Classic. This "granddaddy" of the catfish tournaments is held annually in June in Glasgow, MT. The night-time event boasts popularity as it books up months in advance. Join the sport and have some fun!
