10 Acres in Nye, MT - $109,000
rom this property you have access to millions of acres of National Forest and a Blue Ribbon trout stream just down the hill! This is an ideal spot for your horses, lots of nutritious grass and even though you are right in the foothills of Mount Wood, which is the second highest mountain in Montana, the ground is still somewhat level. It does have a slight slope and the water table is high in the north-westerly part, you should get a really good well there. Electric and phone are under ground in the road, ready to be led to your home. There are some trees on the property, just enough for shade but not enough to be a fire hazard or to block the spectacular view of the mountains or the valley.

The rock formations you can see here along the face of the mountains are called Palisades. They are the only sedimentary rock left on the ancient Rockies, the rest has long washed off and produced the rolling hills along its front. The Palisades are actually an old ocean floor, which was pushed upright by a huge chunk of granite rising up from the bottom. Most of the Rockies are made out of granite, and there is a good chunk under this subdivision as well, up there were the cheaper lots are. It is just about impossible to drill a well or even to get a drain field for a septic up there.
The subdivision is called Buffalo Jump, because it is more or less across from a real Buffalo Jump, which is a stubby cliff with a slope beneath. The Crow Indians used this formation to chase bison over the edge and whichever broke their leg or skull became lunch among other things. Below the buffalo jump are teepee rings, which are circles of rocks that held the fabric of the teepees down. Before the Native Americans had horses, those rings were rather small, but after the Spaniards left them some horses, those rings became much larger. The Nye area was used heavily by the Absarokee's (Native American for Crow - or rather "Heavy Beaked People"). The town of Absarokee is 22 miles away, and that is where the Middle and High schools are for the area. Nye has an Elementary school built out of river rock right next to the Stillwater River. They have a very nice teacher there and a brilliant website telling about the History of Nye.
Nearby wells run from 28 feet deep with 40 gallons per minute, to 90 feet deep with 12 gallons per minute. Elevation on this property is about 5,200ft. As you drive into the subdivision, there is a ten acres private park for the owners and guests along the Stillwater River and private access to National Forest at the south end of the development. The subdivision is about 800 acres big, all 10 acres parcels, and there are a good dozen dwellings, most are second homes.
