Western Larch Place lot: 173, Three Forks, MT 59752

Lot 173 Western Larch Place is a level, build-ready 1.04-acre home site in The Village at Elk Ridge, a well-established subdivision eight miles from Three Forks, Montana. Power is already to the lot, legal access is in place via paved subdivision roads, and the groundwork of a quality community - covenants, maintained infrastructure, and shared amenities - is already in place. For a buyer with plans in hand, there is very little standing between this parcel and a shovel in the ground. The setting is the real story. From this lot, the horizon opens across the Gallatin Valley floor to four surrounding mountain ranges, with light and color shifting through every season. The subdivision itself is thoughtfully laid out with more than 25 acres of shared open space, a 6-acre park, a gazebo, barbecue areas, and basketball courts. Location is where the numbers work. The lot sits at the center of a triangle formed by three of Montana's most active markets: roughly 30 minutes to Bozeman, an hour to Helena, and just over an hour to Butte. Interstate 90 is minutes away. Yellowstone National Park is 90 minutes south; Bridger Bowl, the Madison, the Gallatin, and the Jefferson rivers are all within an easy drive. Three Forks itself, the historic site of the Missouri Headwaters and a small town with real staying power, offers day-to-day services, a 9-hole golf course, and steady growth tied to the broader Gallatin Valley corridor. For a buyer ready to build their Montana home, this is a straightforward lot at an accessible entry price in a region where lots like this have become increasingly hard to find under six figures. For an investor, it is a low-carry hold in a path-of-growth market anchored by Bozeman, one of the fastest-growing small metros in the country. The seller is motivated and open to a clean, reasonable offer.
