302 Paradise Block
The three auction properties on the Paradise Block are located near
the Sanders County towns of Paradise and Plains. Sanders County
is an excellent recreation area with the Clark Fork River and the
Flathead River passing through the south valleys, and the Cabinet
Mountain Wilderness lying between Highway 2 and Highway 56
in the northern portion of the county. The three parcels range in
size from 480± acres to 1,882± acres, providing opportunity to
assemble up to 3,409± acres with development of a back-country
base hunting camp, or private retreat. The Kootenai and Lolo
National Forests dominate the western end of Sanders County.
These three parcels are located along a series of ridgelines above
the Clark Fork and Flathead Rivers and have spectacular territorial
and river valley views throughout. The best fishing on the 350±
mile Clark Fork River may be found just below these Auction
properties, between the confluence of the Flathead and the Clark
Fork Rivers, and the Warm Springs Spillway. Surrounding areas
are known as excellent hunting prospects for both mule and white
tail deer, elk, black bear and moose. Bighorn sheep roam portions
of the properties.

developed to the northeast section, from over the rail
tunnels to the Clark Fork River front, for development
of a camp or retreat. The tract is stocked with an
estimated volume of 2,794 MBF of primarily
Douglas-fir. The southerly 640± acres of this tract,
