About This Home

Some properties aren't defined by the home—they're defined by the lifestyle. Bordering National Forest and located just yards from the West Fork of the Bitterroot River, this remarkable 24.25-acre property features Trapper Creek winding through the property, two private trout ponds, excellent water rights, breathtaking mountain views, and endless opportunities to experience the very best of Montana. Cherished by the same family for over 65 years, the property's history dates back to the late 1800s. Over the years, it has been a working potato farm, apple orchard, outfitting operation, wedding venue, and family gathering place. The remainder of the home was built in the early 1950s, creating the 4-bedroom, 2.75-bath residence that offers over 3,000 square feet with a fireplace, den/library, office with private entrance, and an expansive deck with creek and mountain views that will make you never want to leave. While the home reflects its age and offers an opportunity for updates, it's the setting, history, and lifestyle that make this property truly special. Spend your days fly fishing the West Fork, exploring miles of surrounding National Forest, skiing Lost Trail Powder Mountain, hiking, hunting, or simply watching deer, elk, moose, and countless bird species from your own backyard. The stunning Bitterroot Valley, recognized for its iconic scenery featured throughout the filming of Yellowstone, provides an unforgettable backdrop in every season. Four one-bedroom guest cabins offer flexibility, whether gathering generations of family, welcoming friends, or creating supplemental rental income. A historic barn and tack room, greenhouse, garden area, fruit trees, shop, storage buildings, and chicken coop further enhance the property's character and versatility. This is a place where life slows down, memories are made, and Montana's beauty becomes part of your everyday routine. Opportunities to own a property like this are becoming increasingly rare.
