Complete info: http://4741sundown.ePropertySites.com - Charming, one-of-a-kind original log house with a vaulted living room ceiling, set on a park-like 5 acres, just up from the Bitterroot River and encircled by open fields with very minimal surrounding development. The grounds include mature Blue spruce, valuable Black Walnut, and an orchard which has pie cherries, plums and a variety of apples, including the highly aromatic snow apple. Also, there is a sizeable garden maintained for years with composted soil that includes a raspberry patch. The eye-catching property is highlighted by a big barn that can be used for storage or eventually converted to other uses giving the property an authentic Wild West touch while being located only 20 minutes from downtown and the University. The fields have been used by the present owner to graze cattle and horses. There is no other property in Missoula that combines the best rural and urban elements so seamlessly and at this priced-to-sell figure. This unique property is perfect for the person or family who might be located in the larger cities on the East or West coasts and who wants a rural retreat without the drawbacks of separation from culture, excellent medical care and sophisticated nightlife. A family who has University-aged children could billet their offspring on this property and save on university residential costs while providing a rural getaway for their vacations and family gatherings. Multiple use of the property is facilitated by a small second house that could either be rented or used by a family member who desires some independence, or even as a residence for a caretaker of an aging owner. Gurgling water can be heard in the irrigation ditches that surround the house and orchards, and an osprey has chosen to nest in this Edenic setting. The garages are a set off from the house helping to preserve the rustic charm of the property. The garden, orchard and snow-capped mountains in the distance are conspicuous from the large living room windows and herds of deer roaming the fields are regularly spotted. Closer than the snow-capped distant mountains, almost above the property, is a stunning butte that lends magic to this country estate with urban proximity. This is a property to contemplate.
