This cozy 3 bed, 1 bath log house, and the updated guest cabin 40 yards away, sit snug in the middle of 40 acres of solitude on the western edge of Montana’s Bitterroot Valley. Convenient and yet private, this truly lovely property needs to be seen to be appreciated. Two miles of walking and skiing trails crisscross the woods and meadows. The main house has vaulted ceilings, a huge stone fireplace in the living room, a large kitchen, three bedrooms, and a wide deck stretching two full sides to enjoy the stunning views. The cabin is open and has been updated with new floors, polished logs, a new bathroom, and a new kitchen area. Nestled under tall pines this lovely cabin is the perfect spot for guests of all ages to enjoy Montana.

One, a large pole barn, is big enough for a couple of RVs and additional toys. The fourth building nearer the house has a wood shed, tool shed, and space for a commuting vehicle and an 870 John Deere tractor with a plow. With an exceptional easy-use gravity flow landline irrigation system with abundant water rights, this wonderfully diverse property — 15 acres of pasture, 25 of woodland — is protected within the foothills of the East Front of the Bitterroot Range among tall pines, larch, and cottonwoods that surround and protect a hidden meadow and an apple orchard. Here, the wildlife roam: Elk and a solitary moose migrate through to and from the high country. Several bears enjoy tipping rocks in spring and the apple trees in fall, while white- tail deer, cougar, fox, grouse, and coyote inhabit the land all year long. Comfortable along a private road, the peace and quiet on this quarter-quarter section in the Northern Rockies is quite exceptional, as is gazing at embers rising from a campfire to a night sky peppered with stars, unhindered by the glare of city lights. If solitude in the Rockies is what you seek, a place to relax and unwind, well-removed from the hustle and bustle of city life, allowing you to explore the tranquility of hiking the myriad high country trails in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness — and yet within easy reach of work in Hamilton and Missoula — this is it. And the north-flowing Blue Ribbon waters of the Bitterroot River, running the length of the valley, provide for some of the best and most diverse trout fishing in the country.
