Tucked just off the highway in Plains, this 2.498-acre property delivers what a lot of buyers spend years searching for: real working space, already built. Three separate shop buildings sit on the lot, each with its own character and use case, giving a contractor, collector, or small business owner room to spread out without compromise. Shop #1, built in 2010, is the showpiece — a 60' x 100' insulated steel building with heated floors, an office and break room, and its own bathroom. It's the kind of space that works as easily for a full-time operation as it does for equipment storage that still needs to stay comfortable through a Montana winter. Shop #2 brings even more flexibility. At 54.5' x 80' with a 16' x 68' wing, it's insulated and heated by propane with a wood stove backup, and includes a painting area, office, and bathroom. Attached is a full apartment — kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bath — making it a natural fit for an on-site caretaker, a rental unit, or simply a place to stay while the work gets done. Shop #3 rounds things out at 24' x 36', insulated and propane-heated, ready for overflow storage, a dedicated workshop, or whatever the next owner needs it to be. Two wells and a septic system serve the property, air compressors convey with the sale, and the whole compound sits under recorded covenants. Plains sits in the Clark Fork valley, surrounded by National Forest land and within easy reach of some of Montana's best fly fishing, from the Clark Fork itself to the Flathead River nearby. For a buyer who needs space to work and a place to call home while they do it, this one's hard to beat.
