Description

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of the Bitterroot Valley's most private and scenic mountain retreats. Bordering U.S. Forest Service land and offering a secluded stretch of Lost Horse Creek, this remarkable 22.8 acre property delivers the Montana lifestyle so many dream about. Wildlife is abundant with elk, whitetail deer, moose, wild turkey, bear, foxes, and countless bird species regularly passing through the property. Endless recreation awaits just beyond your doorstep, from fishing the Bitterroot River and boating on Lake Como to skiing at Lost Trail, exploring Skalkaho Pass, relaxing in nearby hot springs, or riding horseback, hiking, and ATVing across thousands of acres of public land. While you'll feel worlds away, Hamilton and Darby are only a short drive away, offering excellent restaurants, golf, shopping, and schools. Built to complement its extraordinary surroundings, the custom log home showcases hand-peeled logs, soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed timber trusses, and an open, inviting floor plan. The home features three bedrooms plus a den, 2.5 bathrooms, an oversized attached three-car garage, and five wood-burning Maynard fireplaces, including an impressive floor-to-ceiling river rock centerpiece. Propane heat and electric baseboards provide additional heating options throughout the home. Designed for peace of mind, the property is equipped with grid power, battery backup, inverters, generators, two domestic wells, and Lost Horse Creek as an additional water source. The improvements continue with an exceptional 4,000 sq. ft. insulated shop built in 2016, featuring R-25 wall insulation, R-38 ceiling insulation, two 14'x14' overhead doors, a 1,600 sq. ft. lean-to, bathroom with shower, and a new metal roof installed in 2024. Additional amenities include a 1,500 sq. ft. four-car garage with workshop and built-in storage, plus a 750 sq. ft. lean-to for covered firewood storage. Equestrian facilities include two barns with space for up to 10 horses, approximately 50 tons of hay storage, a tack room, feed room, hot water wash bay, automatic heated waterers, riding arena, and round pen. Access is provided by a private bridge, rebuilt in 2010 with steel beams, wood decking, and concrete abutments, ensuring secure entry with no shared driveways.
