Stillwater Valley views that are simply unmatched — this 20-acre irrigated horse property sits just 4 miles from Columbus on scenic Wagon Trail Road, where split-rail fencing lines the road as it dips down to cross Shane Creek, which meanders along the north boundary of this ranchette. The south-facing ranch home is full of character: a kitchen with cherry cabinets, commercial 6-burner range with double oven, granite counter tops, and large breakfast bar and tile flooring. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet, tile shower, and sliding glass doors to the front deck to capture the view of the Beartooth Mountains — with hardly another home in sight. 4 BD, 3 BA, office with built-in daybed, formal dining with oak moldings and wainscoting and curved entry into the sunlit window framed sunroom. Daylight basement with family room, gas fireplace, 2 bedrooms, and exterior entrance. Outbuildings include a barn with 6 stalls, heated tack room, and hay loft, plus a shop with power and cement floor. Land: 13+ irrigated acres (pipe conveys), 6+ grazing, fenced and cross-fenced, 1+-acre farmstead. 2 wells, 2-heated waterers, frost-free hydrants, natural gas forced air, and central air. Bring your vision and your horses to this iconic Montana property.
