18985 Leo Hanson Road, Florence
$1,500,000
4 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ 30079050 MLS
Some Montana properties offer a beautiful home. Some offer acreage. Some offer access to the river. Very few offer 2 dwellings and all of those things while bordering approximately 650 acres of state land along their entire northern boundary. Welcome to 18985 Leo Hansen Rd, a remarkable 10-acre Bitterroot Valley property where privacy, recreation, wildlife, and the Montana lifestyle come together in a setting that is increasingly difficult to find. The defining feature is the property's northern border with approximately 650 acres of Montana state land. This extraordinary neighboring public acreage creates an expansive natural backdrop and an unparalleled sense of space, while placing a tremendous amount of Montana's great outdoors immediately at your doorstep. Instead of simply looking out at Montana's wild country, you live next to it. For the sportsman, this location is exceptional. The combination of the adjoining state land, nearby river access, surrounding wildlife habitat, and Bitterroot Valley landscape creates an extraordinary basecamp for elk, deer, black bear, turkey, moose, and waterfowl. Whether you're chasing big-game opportunities in the fall, calling turkeys in the spring, pursuing waterfowl along the river corridor, or simply spending an afternoon scouting, fishing, hiking, or watching wildlife, this property puts you remarkably close to the experiences that draw people from around the country to Western Montana. And then there is the water. River access through the state land adds another dimension to the property—opening the door to fishing, floating, wildlife viewing, and the simple pleasure of having moving water and Montana's river country woven into your everyday surroundings. The property also features a private pond, a place to fish, enjoy the outdoors, or even train dogs. For those who live the sporting lifestyle, the possibilities extend well beyond a traditional residence. The property includes a barn, detached garage, additional outbuilding, horse corral, and a heated 10-dog boarding kennel, creating infrastructure for horses, dogs, equipment, recreational gear, or a working Montana lifestyle. The primary residence offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms, approximately 1,829 square feet, while a second residence provides an additional two bedrooms and one bathroom in approximately 948 square feet—a valuable setup for guests, extended family, caretakers, rental income, or multigenerational living. This is not simply an acreage property outside Florence. It is a Montana recreational compound with public land at the doorstep, river access nearby, multiple residences, outbuildings, equestrian potential, water, wildlife, and the Bitterroot Valley surrounding you in every direction. There is a particular freedom that comes with owning a property like this. Saddle up. Launch the boat. Take the dogs out. Cast a line. Scout the state land. Follow the river. Hunt the state land. Or simply sit outside and watch Montana do what Montana does. The hardest thing to recreate in real estate is not a remodeled kitchen or a new outbuilding. It's location. And the combination found here— 10 private end of the road acres, approximately 650 acres of state land bordering the north side, river access, wildlife, recreational opportunity, multiple residences, and a true sporting-property infrastructure—is exceptionally difficult to duplicate. For the buyer looking for more than a house—for someone searching for privacy, recreation, legacy, and an authentic Montana way of life—18985 Leo Hansen Rd is it! It is the responsibility of the buyers and their agents to verify all info regarding this property. Info is provided by outside sources and deemed reliable but it is not guaranteed by listing agent or listing office.
