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.

KettleHouse Brewing mixes nature and libations
