By Awais Manzoor

Across the Northern Rockies and Black Hills, this quintet of properties is united by water, solitude, and four-season purpose. From Spokane Creek’s year-round flow on a 209±-acre East Helena holding to a Hill City octagon home framed by a private trout pond and Forest Service land, each setting privileges nature without sacrificing craft. Donnelly’s gated Tamarack residence pairs golf course frontage with marina proximity, while a Mountain Home resort lease turns cabins and event permits into a lifestyle enterprise. Near Red Lodge, ponds, waterfalls, and a helipad complete a secluded compound built for gathering.

Surrounded by 209± acres in the greater Helena area, this five-tract holding offers a rare blend of working-land utility and privacy, nearly encircled by conservation easements. Spokane Creek flows year-round, while the grounds are completely fenced and cross-fenced with pasture currently used for summer grazing and an established dryland alfalfa/grass crop. Purpose-built infrastructure includes stock corrals, electric waterers, a loafing shed with tack room, hay storage, and a 60×120 metal shop. Built into the hillside, the spacious residence features a full walkout basement, five bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a large game room, formal dining area, and an open kitchen arranged around a thoughtfully crafted floor plan for everyday living and entertaining. With incredible views and a 20–30 minute reach to Canyon Ferry Lake, Hauser Lake, Helena Regional Airport, and the Capitol City, days here can unfold at an unhurried, wide-open pace.

Just below the Upper Stillwater Dam in Duchesne County, west of Mountain Home, Utah, this resort lease sits among pines and quakies within the Ashley National Forest. The forest land itself is not included—what’s offered is the collection of buildings and the operating business, developed over the course of several years. Infrastructure is firmly in place with power, Wi‑Fi, water, septic, and landline phones, along with spring-fed culinary and secondary water that’s tested monthly. Hospitality is thoughtfully layered: six rustic rental cabins, three condos, and new RV spots, plus USFS-certified fire pits and ample parking. At the center, the Lodge includes a convenience store with a new walk-in cooler, and a brand-new laundry room with new washers and dryers. Special Use Permits support events like weddings and concerts, with seasonal winter closure shaping the annual rhythm.

Surrounded by over 13 meticulously landscaped acres, Camp Paradise unfolds as a secluded retreat just moments from downtown Red Lodge. Five peaceful ponds anchor the grounds, joined by four cascading waterfalls, meandering streams, and charming footbridges that invite unhurried wanderings. Three beautifully remodeled cabins bring storybook charm, thoughtfully updated with modern furnishings and artwork. Inside, distinctive craftsmanship takes center stage, from a juniper bar top inlaid with turquoise to custom cabinetry crafted from rare zebra wood imported from Africa. The property’s supporting spaces extend the possibilities: a versatile 2-car garage/shop with a bath and bedroom, an art studio or bunkhouse, and two garden sheds. A wooden pier outfitted with canoes and a paddleboat offers a simple ritual—drift out, pause, and let the landscape set the pace.
