Own a real piece of Virginia City and Montana history and a National Historic Landmark. The original log cabin was built in 1864 for John Gilbert who was the US Assessor. For 158 years, it has overlooked downtown Virginia City, which was established in 1863 with discovery of gold in Alder Gulch. In the seventies, an addition was built and finished with wood used on the movie set of The Missouri Breaks. The addition brought the square footage to 822 SF. This quaint cabin fits perfectly in its neighborhood and has a spacious living room, a full bathroom, a non-conforming bedroom (no built-in closet) and a kitchen area with a stone floor. This cabin is a blank slate to add your own interior flare and appliances and maintain the exterior of the original structure according to the Virginia City Historic District guidelines. The large 50' x 100' lot is terraced and is 2 blocks from downtown and has a rustic shed on the property.
