Arrival is an experience unto itself. The driveway enters through a picturesque pastoral landscape framed by split-log fencing, mature deciduous trees, perennial flowers, a greenhouse, garden shed, & meticulously maintained grounds before ascending to a private ridgeline setting. Perched to command extraordinary panoramic vistas, this distinctive multi-level residence overlooks an authentic Montana ranch landscape where grazing cattle roam beneath the dramatic backdrop of the Swan Mountains. Thoughtfully designed to celebrate the remarkable setting, the 3 bedroom, 3 bath home unfolds through a series of inviting living spaces, each oriented to embrace the ever-changing scenery. The welcoming great room flows into the dining area & gourmet kitchen, creating a warm & intimate gathering place where expansive windows frame breathtaking mountain views. A short descent reveals a sun-filled family room and private guest suite, providing comfortable accommodations for family & friends. Upstairs, the tranquil primary suite serves as a secluded retreat, complete with its own private balcony—an idyllic setting to greet the morning sunrise or watch the evening alpine glow illuminate the peaks of the Swan Range. The home's thoughtful design continues with a dedicated office, spacious laundry room, well-appointed mudroom, & an oversized attached two-car garage. A generous gathering & game room, warmed by a wood-burning stove, opens seamlessly to a beautifully crafted stone patio with a fire pit. Here, unforgettable evenings unfold beneath Montana's endless skies, whether sharing stories around the fire, enjoying the reflected sunsets to the east or savoring a quiet morning coffee as the first light rises over the mountains. Surrounded by exceptional landscaping, productive gardens, & the timeless beauty of Montana's open ranch country, this is far more than a residence—it is a private sanctuary where refined country living & extraordinary natural beauty exist in perfect harmony. The sale is subject to Buyer completing a boundary line adjustment to add acreage to the north boundary prior to closing. The additional acreage is intended to allow for the inclusion of the existing garden shed and the green house. The windmill currently on the property is excluded and will be removed prior to closing.
