Tucked into nearly 10 private acres above Clarkston, this handcrafted log home offers the kind of peace and privacy that’s hard to find. Decks wrap the front and sides of the home, framing mountain views from every angle, morning coffee on one porch, sunset on another. Inside, log walls and vaulted wood ceilings rise two stories around a cozy wood stove, backed by radiant floor heat for warm Montana winters. The kitchen is bright with a gas range and solid cabinetry, and upstairs offers two bedrooms tucked under exposed log beams. The lower level adds flexible bonus space for a workshop, gym, or storage. Fully off-grid, powered by solar with battery backup and a whole-home generator, and supplied by private well and septic, this home offers real independence without giving up comfort. A small outbuilding adds extra storage, and the acreage welcomes horses and livestock. Within a small scenic drive from the Missouri, Gallatin, and Madison Rivers and Bozeman under an hour away. VA loan assumable at 6.25% for qualifying buyers. Room to roam, big sky views, and a home built to last, this one is a must see! Schedule your showing today!
