A remarkable 13.8±-acre property where water, privacy, expansive views and exceptional improvements come together. A gravel and asphalt drive winds past apple, plum and apricot trees before arriving at a setting shaped by mature landscaping and the soothing presence of flowing water. During irrigation season, water meanders through the property like a bubbling stream, flowing through a pond where fish are commonly found and creating an idyllic place to hang a hammock and enjoy the surroundings. The 4-BR, 2.5-BA residence offers generous living spaces with portions of the main level beautifully remodeled. Rough-sawn Douglas fir flooring brings warmth and character, while expansive windows in the living room and kitchen frame the surrounding landscape and distant views. The gourmet kitchen is designed around two islands and features a custom vent hood, Fulgor Milano range, KitchenAid appliances, built-in ice maker and beverage refrigerator. A sunken family room provides an additional gathering space. The main-level primary suite features two walk-in closets and a private deck. An office/bonus room, laundry and half bath are also located on the main level, with additional bedrooms and living space completing the home. The improvements extend well beyond the residence. From the kitchen, step onto a two-level cedar deck that transitions to a stamped-concrete walkway leading to a patio beneath a gazebo at the water's edge—an inviting extension of the outdoor living space surrounded by the sights and sounds of the property. In addition to the attached single-car garage and detached two-car garage, an impressive five-bay shop offers substantial space for vehicles, equipment, projects and storage. One bay features a 13' overhead door with the depth to accommodate a fifth-wheel RV. The shop also includes a meat-processing room and walk-in cooler, plus a 2-BR, 1-BA apartment on the second level. RV hookups and a concrete pad are located behind the shop. A homesteader's cabin, older livestock barn and round pen add to the property's character and utility. Infrastructure includes two water wells, three septic systems and two underground sprinkler systems. With flowing irrigation water, a pond, established trees, extensive improvements and room for a wide variety of pursuits, this is a distinctive Montana property offering an uncommon combination of beauty, functionality and privacy within minutes of town. Also offered as part of a 35.7±-acre property; see MLS #30077874.
