About this home
An extraordinary expression of Montana living unfolds here, where towering pines, sweeping mountain views, and the gentle movement of water create a setting that feels both timeless and deeply personal. Just over 20 acres in the heart of the Bitterroot Valley offer a rare sense of privacy and peace, while Tin Cup Creek and Iron Horse Creek wind gracefully through the landscape, bringing a constant, soothing connection to nature.
The custom built main residence spans 4,357 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, where every finish has been carefully chosen to balance refinement with warmth. Rich hardwood floors and timeless materials create an inviting, elevated atmosphere throughout. With three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, the home offers both comfort and effortless livability. The primary suite feels like a true retreat, complete with a spa inspired soaking tub, an expansive walk in closet, and tranquil views that quiet the senses and invite stillness.
Life here is meant to be experienced and shared. Evenings unfold beneath a sky full of stars, whether soaking in the hot tub or gathering with friends on the expansive patios. The outdoor living spaces are designed for connection, featuring a barbecue area and a wood fired pizza oven that make entertaining feel natural and memorable. Inside, the kitchen is equally inspiring, appointed with Wolf appliances, dual Asko dishwashers from Sweden, a Sub Zero refrigerator, and a wine cooler. A Lutron lighting system and surround sound enhance the ambiance throughout, creating a seamless blend of comfort and modern convenience.
A beautifully appointed 1,576 square foot guest residence mirrors the same level of craftsmanship and care, offering two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms for privacy and ease. The detached 1,346 square foot three car garage provides generous space for vehicles and storage, along with a half bathroom and a versatile studio above, ideal for a fitness space, office, or creative retreat. The grounds feel like a private park, thoughtfully landscaped to complement the natural beauty that surrounds them. Just a short walk away, a shared 45 acre meadow invites quiet mornings, horseback rides, and winter days spent cross country skiing through fresh snow.
This is more than a home. It is a place to slow down, to reconnect, and to fully embrace the beauty and rhythm of the Bitterroot Valley....
