Painted Rocks and Tongue River Reservoirs
Beginning in 2022 and each subsequent year, State Water Project Lands cabin site sale nominations were received bi-annually from January 1st – 31st and July 1st – 31st. Effective immediately, bi-annually nominations are on hold and nominations will resume in July 2026. The cabin site sales process will commence after the July 1st – 31st nomination period closes. For those expecting bi-annual nominations, we are sorry for the inconvenience.
As of January 1, 2022, the Water Resources Division State Water Projects Bureau of the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation began making cabin/home site lease lots available for sale at the request of the Lessee, in accordance with Montana Code Annotated 85-1-811.
The State Water Projects Bureau manages cabin/home site leases at Painted Rocks reservoir in Ravalli County and at Tongue River reservoir in Big Horn County. The majority of these cabin/home sites are located adjacent to State Water Project reservoirs and vary in lot size under a half of an acre.
