Between Billings and Red Lodge

    40 or 200 acres of wide open spaces with views of the Beartooth Mountain Range, the Pryor Mountains and the jagged peaks of the Crazies. The ground is gently rolling with two treed coulees where the deer looks for shelter. Two thirds of the ground is presently in dry hay and the property is partially fenced. Most of the fence line is not on the property line. I posted a drawing that shows the fence lines in relation to the property lines.

All in all it is a beautiful piece of land in a private setting. To find it take Cole Creek Road just north of Joliet six miles west to where it comes to a T. You are looking straight ahead at the property. To find the 40 acres, follow the county road to the left, there will be a stake on your right side, which would be the SE corner of the 40 acres (or the SW corner of the adjacent 160 acres). Keep going for a quarter mile and there is the stake of the SW corner of the 40 acres and the fence of the neighbors. The first NW corner of the parcel is a 1/4 mile due north from there in a coulee along the fence; the NE corner is out in the field. It is a perfect square.

To find the other corners of the 160 acres parcel, go back to the corner of Cole Creek Road, now take the county road to the right and go a 1/4 mile. There will be a property stake on your right, below the road, which is the first SE corner. An exact 1/4 straight north will show you a pin out in the field, which is SE corner number two. The road will now swing to the north and you will pass a fence line. You are back on the property, which is now on both sides of you. SE corner number 3 is on the corner fence post due East. Follow the road a 1/4 mile north to the next fence. The NE corner is on this fence to your right past the fence which looks like the east border, but the property line actually goes beyond the cliff and the trees there. Those are the parts you can see from the road, take a look at the survey map and you will be able to find the other pins; one is on a gate and therefore not clearly marked.

Joliet is an up and coming community strategically located between the resort and tourist area of Red Lodge and the thriving and largest city of Montana: Billings. It will take you only 30 minutes to either. So if you are looking for a job or love to ski and hunt, this is a great place. Wells in the area are 200 to 400 feet deep and pump between 3 and 10 gallons per minute. Electricity is about half a mile from the property, but it would lend itself to solar or wind power. With those hills on the property, you could build an energy efficient earth bermed home with a walk out basement. The annual rainfall in this area is about 16" per year. The elevation is 3,900ft. The school in Joliet is outstanding; there are many people who make a special effort to live in this particular school district.

The 40 acres can be bought for cash, but if you like all 200 acres, there is financing for $ 125,000 at 6%, with a monthly payment of $ 800 until 2014, at which time it may be paid off (or can keep making payments). If you want to pay it off before 2014, then there is a pre-payment penalty for whatever taxes the owner might have to pay at that time.

40 acres $ 120,000 or all 200 acres for $ 325,000     Details



The 40 acres are the square on the west, I made a photo gallery just for the 40 acres.
