A wonderful home/lodge situated in the historic gold rush town of Zortman, Montana. The property offers a mountain setting with views of the vast Montana prairie. The current owners are turning a new chapter in life and would like to move closer to family and medical facilities. The property has provided them a comfortable retirement home and supplemental income for years. Zortman is a quiet, slow paced home in a wilderness setting. The back of the property is bordered by USFS land insuring the privacy of the property. The single level walk in main floor provides a wonderful home for the owners and the two apartments on the second story provide supplemental income and extra room for family at times. Grocery, gas and daily mail service are not normally wilderness amenities. In addition children are bussed to Malta, Montana daily for K-12 schooling.
