A quiet retreat 7 miles from Missoula
Piltzville started as a home for lumber workers in nearby Bonner. Today, it’s a neighborhood of less than 500 people that’s about 7 miles from Missoula. Backed by a forest that leads up Bonner Mountain, the neighborhood is surrounded by public land. “There’s incredible hunting and fishing around there,” says Crystal Ault, a Broker with Glacier Sotheby’s International Realty. “For somebody who likes the outdoors, Piltzville is a great place to live.”
Some Piltzville homes enjoy an unpaved environment at the base of Bonner Mountain and seemingly endless wilderness.
Piltzville is at the base of Bonner Mountain with a view of the snowy Woody Mountain and Marshall Mountain.

KettleHouse Brewing mixes nature and libations
Built along the Blackfoot River and about 2 miles from Piltzville is KettleHouse Brewing Co. The brewery has an amphitheater that draws national and local acts. “It’s the most incredible setting,” says Ault. “You can sit outside and have a beer and watch mountain goats across the river.” Piltzville isn’t built up with stores and restaurants, but Missoula is about 7 miles away. Most of Missoula’s restaurants are on the north side of the Clark Fork River, which passes through the city. Top Hat is a popular gastropub and event venue with a rustic interior, and FINN offers upscale dining along the river. Betty’s Divine sells vintage clothing on the south side of the river, and more clothing stores like Olive + Iron and Loose Moose are on the north side near the restaurants. For groceries, most head to Albertsons in Missoula.
Thrift shopping can be found in nearby Piltzville along the Hip Strip of Missoula at Betty's Divine.
