Missoula & the Bitterroot Valley

Houses that need work. Lots that need a builder.

Scotch Creek Development is a locally owned company that buys, renovates, and builds homes in Missoula, Frenchtown, Lolo, Florence, and Stevensville. Whether it’s a house that needs more than a coat of paint or a lot that’s been sitting with plans in a drawer, we’d like to hear about it.

Sell to us

Straight offers. Short timelines. No repairs, no plans required.

We’re the buyer, not a wholesaler shopping your house to someone else. When we make an offer, we intend to close on it. Send us the address and we’ll get back to you within two business days.

Tell us about your property

Houses we’re looking for

  • Single-family homes, cabins, and duplexes in Missoula County and the northern Bitterroot
  • Dated, damaged, half-finished, inherited, or just more than you want to deal with
  • Sellers who value a clean, predictable close over squeezing out the last dollar on the open market

Land we’re looking for

  • Bare lots, infill lots, and small acreage with road access and utilities nearby
  • Lots that already have plans, engineering, or permits — we’ll pick up where you left off
  • Stalled or unfinished builds, and parcels that could carry more than one home

Agents and wholesalers

  • We pay commissions, close on time, and take off-market and hard-to-sell listings seriously
  • We don’t lowball sight-unseen or tie up a property with no intent to close, and we only buy where we can drive to the job site

What we do

Renovate what’s here. Build what’s missing.

Renovation

We buy homes that need real work — kitchens, baths, roofs, systems, layouts — and bring them back to something a family can move into and count on for the next thirty winters. Registered Montana contractors do the work; we manage the project and stand behind it.

New development

On bare lots, infill parcels, and land that already has plans, we build new: practical, well-insulated single-family homes sized and priced for people who actually live and work here. We take projects from raw ground through design, permitting, and construction, and we’re happy to partner with landowners who’d rather share in a build than sell outright.

Our approach

How we work

  1. 01

    Fast, honest answers

    We walk the property, run the numbers, and tell you what we can pay and why. If it isn’t a fit, we’ll say so and point you somewhere useful.

  2. 02

    Build to last

    Montana winters are honest. We choose materials and details that perform for decades, not just through closing.

  3. 03

    Be a good neighbor

    Clean job sites, clear communication, permits pulled, and a finished house that raises the block instead of just flipping it.

About

Local, hands-on, and in it for the long run.

Scotch Creek Development is run by a local developer and an experienced builder who’ve both called the Missoula area home for years. We’re small on purpose: the people you talk to are the people who walk the property, run the numbers, and manage the work.
