About This Home

As of August 2025

Undoubtedly one of the most unique offerings on the market. The first time offered, discover a true Montana gem—a stunning 3,000-square-foot log cabin nestled along the pristine East Fork of the Bitterroot River, where the beauty of nature surrounds you at every turn. Bordering Forest Service land, this rare property offers direct access to endless outdoor adventures, ensuring unmatched privacy and breathtaking scenery. Over 750 feet of East Fork Bitterroot frontage and three property boundaries with the US Forest Service set the backdrop for this meticulously designed cabin. When you step inside, you will be welcomed with towering, vaulted ceilings in the great room and a two-sided rock fireplace. The sheer scale of this fireplace makes a dramatic impact, soaring upward to complement the vaulted ceilings and open-concept kitchen that make up the main floor. Situated just off the kitchen is the formal dining room. The dining room captures beautiful river views and offers ample light. This space lends itself to large gatherings on special occasions. The kitchen is framed by exposed timber beams and vaulted ceilings. This expansive space features rich wood cabinetry, tile countertops, and a generous island perfect for gathering. Natural light pours in through oversized windows, casting a golden glow across the wide-plank floors. Whether you're preparing a family feast or sipping coffee beside the crackling wood stove, this kitchen delivers the perfect balance of cozy charm and modern convenience. The great room is centered around the natural river rock fireplace. Handcrafted, this immense fireplace is similar to ones found in lodges throughout the West. The great room has both East and West facing windows that provide natural light throughout the day. On the main floor, you will find the primary suite with river views. The primary bath is situated just off of the suite and offers both a bath and a shower. The lower level is finished off with a laundry and mechanical room as well as the second guest bath. As we find ourselves walking upstairs, you can't help but notice that the stairway is one large, handcrafted log. The second floor has the same open air, vaulted ceilings as the great room. This space is nearly 1,000 square feet and offers another heat source from a fireplace that shares the same rock chimney. For that added privacy, there is a bedroom located on the second floor. Outside, there is a large two-car garage that is attached to the home via a breezeway. The garage has added space for recreational storage with a loft and a back storage room. This property offers endless recreational opportunities, seclusion, and all located on a short private lane off the well-maintained paved road. Don't miss the opportunity to purchase a legacy river property.
