Invest in almost 30 acres offering so many possibilities on the edge of the historic and charming town of Fort Benton. You are going to appreciate the stunning Highwood and Bear Paw Mountain views plus views of the nearby Missouri River. The property is IN the county, NOT the city, allowing for more flexibility and less regulation. Since it is NOT ZONED, and has no covenants, bring your county-allowed commercial ideas and/or your residential plans. Part of the ground borders Highway 87, so with that high visibility a commercial use would be ideal, but the way the property lies, and with its varied terrain, it offers privacy, for a new home, too. Even consider bringing in a modular home. No well. No septic.
