This one is worth the drive. Just east of Townsend, this property sits in a beautiful mountain setting with an open meadow, big views, no covenants and no zoning reported. There was once a home here, but it was lost to wildfire in 2021. The land has been making a comeback ever since, with green grass and new growth across the property. An established domestic well is in place (137' deep, 10 GPM, 35' static level), along with a septic system from the former homesite. Neither has been used since the fire, so buyers will want to have both evaluated. Power is currently disconnected, with service in the area provided by NorthWestern Energy. A greenhouse remains on the property; the former bunkhouse/ shed has been removed and does not convey with the property . One important detail is the access. The property is reached from Highway 12 via a National Forest Service road under an easement/permit arrangement that requires periodic renewal. Buyers should verify the current status and renewal requirements with the U.S. Forest Service. The setting is hard to argue with. You're surrounded by mountain country, with Townsend, Canyon Ferry Lake and plenty of Montana recreation within reach. For buyers specifically looking for land without covenants there's room here to consider your own plans. Of course, "unrestricted" doesn't mean "anything goes," so buyers should verify intended uses and permitting requirements. It's beautiful, a little unconventional, and definitely not another cookie-cutter parcel in a subdivision. Come walk it and see what you think. Unaccompanied showings are not permitted; a licensed agent must be present. ## Location - **Address:** 2010 US- 12 Highway E, Townsend, MT 59644 - **County:** Broadwater - **Coordinates:** 46.354004, -111.133743 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=46.354004,-111.133743 ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Jeannie Steele · **License:** BRO-61168 - **Brokerage:** EXP REALTY LLC - **Phone:** 4069490954 - **Broker Phone:** (406) 578-4399 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/2010-Highway-12-E_Townsend_MT_59644_M75525-39382?f=listhub&s=GARMT&m=414634&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f2229996296r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f1384416900r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f216963075r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f3720473945r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f3087516042r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f3401634407r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f1390765372r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f3695990167r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f1862270322r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f2994817874r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f3548026502r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f30246545r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f2050917842r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f4232504140r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 15](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f2458018191r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 16](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f2193990470r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 17](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f2059232990r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 18](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f909728904r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 19](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f2737345787r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 20](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f1098989291r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 21](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f4184058950r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 22](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f156844352r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 23](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f1601126501r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 24](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f2895291255r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 25](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f1723862322r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 26](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f4215218098r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 27](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f2333205446r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 28](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f289384773r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 29](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f2762266439r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 30](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f2956883908r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 31](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f1424787559r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 32](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f2399908749r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 33](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f391872811r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 34](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f3497845077r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 35](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f2621324040r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 36](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f2680414362r.jpg) ![2010 US- 12 Highway E - Photo 37](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f98b9bbb11a16fb23b1a4119aebc5468l-f1092574019r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 414634 | **Updated:** 2026-09-05 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 Big Sky Country MLS.
