Just fifteen miles northeast of Livingston, this 31.8-acre parcel sits in the heart of Shields and Yellowstone River country, where the big sky opens up and Sheep Mountain and Livingston Peak frame the horizon like a painting you never get tired of. The land is as practical as it is beautiful. Nearly level throughout and three sides already fenced, it's tailor-made for horses and wide-open living. One of the last undeveloped parcels in this quiet, well-established neighborhood. Minimal covenants, no HOA, no dues, just the freedom to build on your terms. The infrastructure head start is significant. A producing well already on site, logged at 30 gallons per minute, takes one of the biggest unknowns in rural land ownership off the table. Access is via a private gravel road off Highway 89, maintained and plowed cooperatively by a small group of country neighbors. The Highway 89 Bridge fishing access is right around the corner for launching a drift boat on the Yellowstone, and subdivision owners hold an easement providing direct river access as well. Livingston is a rustic town, a historic western community with galleries, restaurants, a farmers market, and a character that Bozeman, just 45 minutes west, has been slowly losing to growth. Here, you get the amenities without the noise, crowds, and traffic. Peaceful, private, and ready. This is Montana the way people picture it when they close their eyes.
