Realizing your dreams is what living in Montana offers. It is as easy as stepping outside your door. Enjoy paddling a canoe on your private waterway or fly-fishing on one of the best holes of the Bitterroot River – all conveniently found in your backyard.
The 181 acre estate is highlighted by 1.5 miles of Bitterroot river frontage, seven shimmering ponds, naturally fed spring creeks, pristine meadows, 3 residences, 2 barns and extensive landscaping.
Elegant outdoor entertaining is easy with the chandeliered dining pavilion, eating bar, wood burning pizza oven, refrigerator, built in fire pit and amphitheatre style seating.
While the river and meadows enhance the solitude of this property when you are ready to come inside you will not be disappointed.
The main residence is a masterpiece of artistry and craftsmanship. The spirit of the Bitterroot River is evident in this 10,000 sq ft + home through the use of natural rock and stone, exposed logs and hardwoods.
As you enter through the heavy custom built door at the main entry notice the pine cones which set the subtle theme found throughout the home.
Walls of honey colored vertical grain fir, which will warm to butterscotch in time, greet your visitors with cheerful warmth.
Nearest the main entry sits a cozy library featuring built in bookshelves and is highlighted by a commissioned pastel of the Bitterroot River. Large windows and glass doors create the perfect frame from nearly every room capturing the majestic views of St Mary’s Peak and Bear Creek Canyon.
The main floor grand room is generously scaled and utilizes 30 feet of ceiling volume and massive solid log beams to present an environment of a sophisticated rustic lodge.
A massive 400 ton stone hearth is the heart of the home. Dual curved logs serve as the back to back mantle while the custom iron and glass enclosure completes this extraordinary fireplace.
With the comfy conversation and reading area on one side and dining room on the other – all that is missing is you.
The dining enclave was designed to gather family and friends for food, fun and lively conversation while enjoying the warmth of the roaring fire. The 9 ‘diameter round table features a built in lazy Susan and the wagon wheel base compliments the Montana theme.
The home flows from one area to another never losing site of the exterior beauty seen in the river, ponds, mountains or majestic trees.
A chef’s delight - the gourmet kitchen takes center stage on its raised platform to enjoy the endless views. Outfitted with commercial quality stainless steel Viking appliances, there is an abundance of room to be creative offering plenty of counter, cabinet and pantry space.
Welcome to your master suite where you will wake up to views of ponds, abundant wildlife, large pine groves and the impressive Bitterroot Mountains.
Count the fish in the refreshing stream that flows past the cantilevered window seat at the same time as having your morning coffee.
The oversized master bath features a full length mirror medicine cabinet, spa tub, and waterfall shower head.
Two well appointed guest suites assure that your company will feel pampered and have all the privacy they desire. Each bedroom offers a gas fireplace, private bath and direct access to a patio or deck overlooking the ponds. In each bath, a glass block wall allows natural light while ambient lighting under the spa tub assures your guests safety at night.
The Gallery features newel post rails with solid glass panels to keep light flowing through leading you to a bright lounge overlooking the library and connecting the residence to the garage.
In the downstairs theatre you can see the base of the character log the home is built around. The media room offers a 62” plasma television with surround sound, wet bar sink, built in snack refrigerator, gas fireplace and bathroom. Everything you need to enjoy the full theatre experience.
Adjacent to the temperature controlled wine room is a custom mural from local artist Patricia Don Diego characterizing a morning to evening theme and highlighting the various native animals found residing on the property.
The guest residence aptly named Fish Camp is a separate dwelling adjacent to the Bitterroot River which includes 2 bedrooms, a loft, and country kitchen, family gathering area with fireplace, hot tub and authentic wood stove. Your guests will never want to leave.
The third residence acts as the estate gate house at the second entrance to the property.
Two barns, one with a full upstairs studio and bath; round pen, paddocks and pastures is turn key for your horses or cattle.
