Are you looking for a place to call home that is truly far from the madding crowd, and off the beaten track? Then you’ve arrived! Montana City, home to just over 2,000 residents, and just south of Helena in central Montana is just that place! Cradled in the foothills of the Montana Rockies, surrounded by pristine wilderness, Montana City is a one of a kind city. Montana City carries a feeling of the old west to those who live here. From the "Not Quite a Ghost Town" of Elkhorn with its quiet streets where many come to see the old buildings and artifacts from its boom time of the late 1880's, to the remote ghost towns of Comet and Gray Eagle. Each had an active mine for its support during their boom days. About 20 minutes south of Montana City, near Boulder and Basin area are Health Mines, which include the Free Enterprise, High Ore, Sunshine, Merry Widow, and Earth Angel. Thousands of people come each year to these mines for relief from arthritis, emphysema, bursitis, cataracts, and many other ailments. People come from all over the United States and Canada to sit in these mines and gain relief from their pain and poorly functioning body parts. If Montana City is the place you’ve always dreamed of, you’ll fall in love with the prices! A single-wide mobile home will only set you back $12,000 and a two or three bedroom home in the town can cost as little as $35,000. For something a little larger, and perhaps with the views of “Big Sky Country” as Montana is known, you can choose to buy several acres out in the country and build the home of your dreams. Some of them have already been built! A log cabin with a sweeping vista courtesy of the large windows will only set you back $299,000. This is the perfect place if you’re looking to escape the rat-race of life. There are three major snowmobile trail systems within a 30-minute drive of Montana City.

Canyon Ferry Lake is a large reservoir on the Missouri River, just 20 minutes east of Montana City. Camping, sailing, boating, swimming and fishing are just the start. You’ll even find ice boaters in winter. For a sense of the Old West, wide open spaces, natural beauty, sweeping views, and vast blue skies, Montana City is just the place – come and check it out – you’ll be packing your bags to move permanently – we guarantee it!
