Enjoying the views from high above Missoula

Situated on the hillside high above the Missoula Valley, Farviews-Pattee Canyon allows homeowners to enjoy sweeping views of the area from the comfort of their backyard. "Each lot has its own specific view, so no matter where you're positioned, you're getting a phenomenal view of the valley," says Brittni Hertz, a sales associate with the Hertz Team at ERA Lambros who has experience in the neighborhood. "It also backs up to hiking trails and all kinds of recreation. It sits next to a large ranch, so there won't be any development for the foreseeable future. It'll be open land." That's good news for buyers in the neighborhood, as Hertz adds that the seclusion and proximity to natural scenery are some of the main appeals in the community. If cabin fever ever does set in, though, homeowners in Farviews-Pattee Canyon are just 3 miles from downtown Missoula.

Mountain homes on the Missoula hillside

Homes in Farviews-Pattee Canyon typically vary depending on which part of the neighborhood buyers are looking. The northern section of the community features many ranch-style homes and raised ranches. These houses are surrounded by tall pines and often have built-in garages. These typically cost between $500,000 and $650,000. Further up the mountain, the homes include modern Craftsman and log cabin homes. Hertz says these are large properties, with the smallest buildings typically around 3,000 square feet and the largest around 10,000 square feet. There are some contemporary modern homes in this area as well, with large windows that offer pristine views of the Missoula Valley from any room in the house.  These houses can cost anywhere from $800,000 to $1.7 million. Buyers should be aware of the increased risk of wildfires in the neighborhood due to the location on the edge of the forest.

Heading into the mountains for outdoor recreation

Residents in this southeastern Missoula neighborhood have access to some of the city's most popular recreational sites, including the namesake section of the national forest. Pattee Canyon Recreation Area is a 3,200-acre spot with 27 miles of trails for visitors to explore. The area is popular year-round, with room for hiking, mountain biking, jogging and cross-country skiing. There is also a disc golf course that is open from July through November. Hertz says this area is also a local favorite for picking wild huckleberries. The recreation area is just 4.5 miles southeast of the neighborhood along Pattee Canyon Road. Closer to home, residents can enjoy a hike at the Mount Sentinel South trailhead, which leads up the mountain's south side and connects to several more trails, including the popular M trail near the summit. Golf lovers will enjoy playing the Highlands Golf Club, a nine-hole, par-34 course on Ben Hogan Drive. "It's a nice golf course. A lot of people in this area are either up here for the golf course or the views. Or both," says Hertz. The course offers nine-hole or 18-hole rates, allowing residents to get a quick game in or play a full round by playing the course twice. Whitaker Park is a local city park in the neighborhood, with a basketball court, playground and picnic areas.

A remote neighborhood with quick connections to the city

Despite its relative seclusion, the neighborhood is connected to the rest of Missoula through major roads and public transit routes. The Mountain Line bus system's Route 12 has stops on Whitaker Drive and High Park Way and can take riders north to downtown or west to the Moose Can Gully neighborhood. Although many streets in the area have sidewalks, walkability is not a common option due to the distance it would take to get downtown or other locations. Higgins Avenue gives residents a straight shot north to downtown Missoula, while Missoula Montana Airport is about 9 miles away using Russell Street and Broadway Street.

High-end and casual restaurants throughout the neighborhood

Farviews-Pattee Canyon is on the southeastern edge of Missoula, but residents are still close to popular shopping and dining areas. The Keep is an acclaimed fine dining restaurant in the neighborhood on Ben Hogan Drive, as famous for its cuisine as its décor. "That's actually one of the oldest restaurants in Missoula. It started out as a family mansion in the Lower Rattlesnake area and was moved up here and became a restaurant," says Loren Mostad, a Missoula native and Realtor with Windermere Real Estate. Locals enjoy dining on the restaurant's patio, enjoying dishes like calamari and rack of lamb as they take in the views of the city. At the bottom of the mountain, Romeo's Italian Kitchen serves fresh, authentic Italian dishes in a casual spot on Higgins Avenue. Local groceries are available at Pattee Creek Market, which has been serving the community since 1946. There is also an Albertsons on Russell Street for more grocery options. For more local shops and restaurants, downtown is just a 3-mile drive north on Higgins Avenue.
