Montana Dream Property in the Elkhorns – Where Comfort Meets the Outdoors...
Escape to nearly 5,000 sq ft of hand-hewn log craftsmanship, tucked into the breathtaking Elkhorn Mountains on 20 acres of pristine land. This private sanctuary borders thousands of acres of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest and lies within the highly coveted 380 Hunting District—renowned for its trophy bull elk—making it the ideal base for outdoor lovers, hunters, and those seeking unmatched privacy.
At the heart of the property is Muskrat Creek, a year-round, spring-fed stream teeming with native Westslope Cutthroat and Brook Trout. A tranquil sitting area by the creek offers the perfect spot to relax, reflect, or entertain while surrounded by frequent visits from elk, moose, mule deer, and whitetail deer. An additional year-round spring produces an impressive 10–12 gpm, further feeding the creek and supporting the land’s lush ecosystem. The main home combines rustic glamour with authenticity, featuring newly chinked logs, custom Montana finishes, and panoramic views from every window. At its heart, a striking granite fireplace stretches from the basement up through the main floor, housing a cozy native stone wood stove. Vaulted ceilings add an airy elegance to the spacious media/living room and beyond.
Downstairs, discover a fully equipped private apartment with extra sound insulation, its own wood stove, 1+ bedrooms, 1 bath, full kitchen, laundry, and separate entrance—ideal for multi-generational living.
Outside, a geothermal greenhouse (nearly complete) promises year-round growing, while a 30’ x 90’ pad is already in place for a future garage, all surrounded by carefully landscaped grounds. A spacious storage shed and chicken coop complete the homestead lifestyle.
Overlooking the main house is a charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath guest house with a loft, soaring vaulted ceilings, pine tongue-and-groove finishes, and its own separate well and septic system. Though nearly finished, it is fully move-in ready and presents excellent private housing for friends and family.
You’ll enjoy complete seclusion—you can’t see another neighbor from the house—yet still have easy access to modern amenities. The home is located 6 miles northeast of Boulder, the last property on a county-maintained road, and accessible year-round, with reliable cell and internet service. Two private wells, two septic systems, and a 12 zone underground sprinkler system add to this property's fantastic features.
Situated just 45 minutes from both Helena and Butte, and centrally located between iconic Montana destinations like Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks, this property offers unmatched convenience for adventure seekers.
Whether you’re dreaming of a serene homestead, a recreational base, or a trophy hunting retreat, this Montana gem delivers it all—wrapped in nature, peace, and possibility.
