Call it a Montana ‘Lifestyle Block’ where a treasure awaits in the South Bitterroot Valley. Just 1.5 miles from Darby, and tucked in at the base of the Bitterroot Mountains on a 1.62-acre Homestead, is a 2048 Sq. Ft. Open Concept, 2 Bedroom, 2 1/2 - Bath, SIPS Home. The Structurally Insulated Panel System construction was designed for smart energy use. Built in 1998 by Tamarack Construction, and utilizing the ‘Super Good Cents’ program, the home was oriented for maximum passive solar. Large windows accommodate for endless sunlight, surrounding meadow views, and invite the Tin Cup’s valley breezes to circulate thru the home. The main floor boasts a new dining room addition, and outside surrounding wrap around decking. The lower level is a ‘full walk-out’ which includes a bedroom and full bath and a bonus room space just waiting to be custom finished. On the same level, the home’s mechanics are easily accessible with abundant additional storage space. There is a two-car detached garage-workshop with a full upper storage area. Don’t forget the optional chicken coop on the south side of the barnlike structure with fiberlite panels that can be removed for additional small vehicle parking. If you are into skiing, water sports, hunting or catching your daily feed of trout or simply enjoy peace and tranquility, then this property is sure to please.
