A Home in Wickes, on a Sloping Lot
The listing places the property in the historic mining town of Wickes, Montana, with good access off an improved road and an easy reach of Helena or Boulder, the county seat. Those drive times are the listing’s claims; we did not independently verify them. Zillow lists a metal roof, a deck and a sloping lot. The photos show a modest green house, a wood deck with firewood, fences and outbuildings against grass and hills.
Fifteen Acres and Public Land Next Door
The listing says the 15.06 acres are two separate but adjoining parcels, with all improvements on one parcel, and that the property borders BLM land, with “thousands of acres of public land to explore at your front door.” That split and the BLM boundary matter for title and access. Confirm both with the agent, a survey and the official records.
The listing also mentions numerous outbuildings and sheds for animals or covered storage — chickens, goats, horses, hay or “motorized toys,” in the seller’s wording. The photos show several small buildings and fenced ground. We are not confirming that any animals are included.
Inside, Per the Listing
The listing says the manufactured home has been updated inside and has power, a well and septic. It lists a wood stove as an additional heat source, along with a propane forced-air furnace. The photos show an open living area and kitchen with wood walls, a sitting area looking out to the pasture, wood cabinets, a gas range, a laundry room and a bedroom. “Updated” is the seller’s word, not an inspection.
Covenants, Zoning and What to Verify
The listing states there are no covenants and no zoning. That is a strong claim, and we have not independently verified it. Confirm zoning, covenants, well and septic status, and what is allowed for animals with the county and the listing agent before you rely on that sentence.
The Zillow page does not mark the home as as-is, but a 1972 manufactured home on a sloping rural lot should still be inspected carefully, including the roof, piers, systems, well and septic.
Jefferson City and Early Interest
Jefferson City is a small community in Jefferson County, south of Helena. A 15-acre place that borders public land, with a usable house and a $265,000 asking price, will naturally draw looks. More than 2,700 views in 15 days shows people are stopping on this one, but interest is not a closing. Anyone who likes the setting still has to walk the parcels, confirm the BLM line, and inspect the house and systems.
Things to Verify
- The two adjoining parcels, where the improvements sit, and the official 15.06-acre total, with a survey and title work
- The claimed BLM boundary and public-land access
- The listing’s claim of no covenants and no zoning, with the county
- The well, septic and power, plus the wood stove and propane furnace
- The condition of the 1972 manufactured home, including the roof, piers and the “updated” interior
- What outbuildings convey, and any rules on keeping animals
The Bottom Line
At $265,000, 311 Wickes Rd offers a 1972 manufactured home with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, on 15.06 acres that the listing says border BLM land, with outbuildings, a well, septic and power. It is active on Zillow. If you want a modest Montana house with land and public ground next door, it is worth a careful in-person look.
