11127 Saddleback Ln Missoula, MT 59804

Remarks: If you can imagine sitting in your exquisite living room overlooking panoramic mountain and river views, then you are home. Tucked against the mountainside in Missoula's Big Flat area, this home has it all. This custom home was awarded ''Best Craftsmanship'' in the 2014 Parade of Homes. The post and beam entry welcomes you to the great room, where your eyes are immediately drawn to the massive windows and the light which dances across more than a dozen mountain peaks and the Clark Fork River Valley floor. The 180-degree breathtaking views capture the scenic colors of the Big Sky. The stone fireplace in the great room hosts seasonal celebrations and intimate evenings. Arcadia hardwood floors throughout the home pull you in and add warmth. The well thought out kitchen encourages both many cooks and lingering and is the heart of this home. It showcases an incredible cabinet package, granite and soapstone countertops, chef's appliances, a walk-in pantry, coffee bar and much more. The kitchen leads to a casual breakfast area as well as formal dining room. The master suite is spacious, with his and her walk-in closets, a spectacular bathroom with heated floors, soaking tub, separate shower, and custom cabinetry. The suite also features a yoga/meditation area with some of the best views of the Missoula valley! The main floor includes a large office/den, a powder room, laundry room, and a mudroom/drop zone area with custom cubbies just off the garage. When you take the stunning staircase to the lower level, you will be embraced by a large family room (with a second fireplace). The lower level offers three generous bedrooms (one en-suite), a second full bathroom and more than enough storage for the closet hoarder. Fun features of this home include two secret passageways to the lower level and a hidden room! The home has a finished, oversized three car heated garage with endless possibilities. Discovering the outside of this home is just as intriguing! The main floor has a serene, covered deck to enjoy a quiet morning coffee, or an evening glass of wine. The spacious patio on the lower-level invites gathering with friends around the gas fire pit, long summer dining while enjoying the outdoor sound system, or soaking in the jetted hot tub. Well situated on over 20 acres, the lot is nicely treed to allow for both views and fire protection. The paved driveway welcomes you with landscape lighting and established aspens. The home also features an irrigated vineyard which would convert perfectly to a garden for those who desire fresh flowers or vegetables. The property is located 15 minutes from downtown Missoula yet maintains the privacy of a hidden mountainside retreat with inspiring scenery at every turn! Not to be missed, this is truly a "Montana Dream" home!
