AVAILABLE CABIN/HOME SITE LEASES
Why lease land from the State of Montana for a Cabin Site?
- Location
Many cabin sites are located on popular lakes that have limited real estate opportunities, or are near prime hunting and fishing areas.
- Upfront Costs
The limited availability of real estate in some areas can create high land prices. There is no need to finance the land, so leasing lowers the upfront cost.
- Home Ownership
The lessee of any cabin site is only leasing the land. The structures built upon the site, also known as “improvements”, are owned by the lessee.
- Property Taxes
Home owners on cabin sites do not pay any taxes on the land that they lease. They are only responsible for property taxes on any structures they own.
- Transferability
Leases can easily be transferred.
- Schools
Lease fees on Montana’s trust land go to support funding education and other institutions in Montana.
