Price Cut by $30,400! Montana Lakefront Cabin – Now $129,500!
Imagine having 113 feet of south-facing shoreline on Rogers Lake, surrounded by pine trees, mountain views, wildlife, and some serious fishing opportunities. 1605 Rogers Lake Road in Kila, Montana is currently listed for $129,500, after originally hitting the market at $159,900.
Built in 1970, this rustic cabin offers 2 bedrooms, approximately 768 square feet, and sits on a roughly 0.78-acre lakefront site. There is an important catch, however: the land is leased from the State of Montana, and the cabin has no plumbing or well.
113 Feet of Rogers Lake Waterfront
The setting is easily the biggest attraction.
The cabin enjoys approximately 113 feet of lake frontage, with views across Rogers Lake toward the surrounding forest and mountains.
The area is known for wildlife, and the listing specifically mentions eagles and loons, along with fishing opportunities for cutthroat trout and Arctic grayling.
Rustic 2-Bedroom Cabin
Inside are two bedrooms and approximately 768 square feet of living space.
The kitchen area already has cabinetry and workspace, including an area that could come in handy after a day of fishing.
This is a genuinely rustic recreational cabin rather than a fully equipped modern lake house.
A True “Dry Cabin”
One of the biggest things buyers need to understand is that this is a dry cabin.
There is currently no well and no plumbing. The cabin formerly had a wood stove for heating, but the current listing indicates it is no longer there.
Underground electrical service has been run to the cabin, although it still needs a meter installed.
Anyone planning upgrades would also need to follow applicable permitting requirements.
Wooded 0.78-Acre Setting
The cabin sits on a mostly level to gently sloping site with mature pine trees.
A metal roof and pillar/post/pier foundation are among the property’s structural features.
Rogers Lake Road is county maintained, and the listing advertises year-round access, which is particularly valuable for a recreational Montana property.
Important: You Do NOT Own the Land
The $129,500 purchase price is for the improvements/cabin only.
The underlying land is a Montana DNRC state lease. The existing lease is currently in year 9 of a 15-year term and is transferable, with a listed $25 transfer fee paid by the buyer.
The current lease is reported to expire in February 2033 and has a renewal option. Buyers should carefully review the current lease, annual lease payments, renewal terms, restrictions, and DNRC requirements before purchasing.
The listing also specifies no short-term rentals.
Reduced from $159,900 to $129,500
The property entered the market in May 2026 for $159,900, dropped to $154,900 in July, and received another substantial reduction in August to its current $129,500.
That’s a total reduction of $30,400 from the original asking price.
For someone seeking a rustic recreational escape, the combination of two bedrooms, 113 feet of lakefront, wooded surroundings, mountain views, fishing, and year-round road access is certainly unusual.
Just remember that this is leased state land and a dry cabin without plumbing or a well, two major details that should be understood before considering the purchase.
