Garnet Ln Lot 27, Twin Bridges, MT 59754 listing details

A piece of heaven in Montana's "Fly-Fishing" country, near the quaint town of Twin Bridges, Madison County. This 20 Acre lot borders State Land. A well and septic field are in place. Power has been brought on to the lot. This expansive 20+ ac site sits near 3 rivers: It lies at the confluence of the Ruby, Beaverhead and Big Hole Rivers which form the Jefferson River. Twin Bridges is a well known fly fishing mecca for trout fisherman. The population was 375 at the 2010 census. The history of Twin Bridges is interesting: Four Indian trails came together at a bend of the Beaverhead River north of the present school building in Twin Bridges. These trails were used by early settlers and freight companies, and helped to establish where the community of Twin Bridges would develop. Judge M.H. Lott came to Montana in 1862, and with his brother John T. Lott, settled in the Ruby Valley in 1864. In 1865 they built a bridge across the Beaverhead River, and later built another bridge across the Beaverhead at the Point of Rocks. The Lott brothers continued development of roads and promoted settlement of the town, which was incorporated in 1902, with M.H. Lott as the first mayor.
