2503 Wild Bill Rd Kila, MT 59920

Discover this quintessential Montana ranchette — a custom timber-framed home with horse facilities, nestled on approximately 21 acres of sheltered land. Bordered on two sides by thousands of acres of National Forest, the property features a gently flowing, year-round creek that meanders through the grounds. The land is thoughtfully “parked-out” — mature trees preserved, undergrowth cleared, and open spaces blending naturally into the forest. A fully fenced pasture adjoins the barn area, complemented by three additional healthy, fenced pastures that have been rotationally grazed and carefully managed. Without horses, the pastures could be returned naturally to lush meadows or transformed into orchard and garden spaces using the electric fence to deter deer browsing. Endless miles of Forest Service roads and trails are directly accessed from the property for horse riding, hiking, or cross-country skiing. The property’s position in a protected valley offers comfortable year-round conditions, while inside the home, the smooth walls and warm timber tones create a welcoming atmosphere. Situated less than 30 minutes from Kalispell, this ranchette combines refined rural living, ranching, and luxury in one rare offering. The house itself (3,400+ sq. ft.) was featured in Timberhome Living Magazine, a testament to its craftsmanship and design. Step inside to find oversized windows that frame forest and meadow views and fill the interior with natural light. Hand-pegged Douglas fir timbers showcase the structural artistry, while vaulted ceilings and an open floor plan lend the space a bright, airy character. With four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two large family rooms, and an additional loft bedroom, the home comfortably accommodates family and guests. The high-efficiency radiant-floor heating system ensures consistent comfort, and because the interior features smooth wall surfaces rather than log construction, the home enjoys a lighter, more modern aesthetic while still reflecting the warmth of wood. Built in 2004, the property also includes a ±2,000 sq. ft. heated and insulated shop, perfect for vehicles, storage, or creative projects. Outside, the land is as functional as it is beautiful. The high-quality electric fencing has been well maintained around the property’s perimeter. In addition, four distinct pastures (one with water access) have been rotationally grazed and nourished through managed manure distribution, maintaining their health and productivity. The barn with covered exterior stalls provides secure space for livestock, with the option to add interior heated stalls. A cleared and leveled arena base has been beautifully set surrounded by aspens, ready for riding or training. The property’s sheltered valley location keeps weather moderate through the seasons. The corral and barn are easily visible from the home, allowing for effortless livestock oversight. Perhaps best of all, owners can ride directly onto miles of Forest Service trails, including access to the renowned Blacktail–Wild Bill Trail System — a vast network supporting horseback riding, ATVs, hiking, and outdoor exploration. The parcel is eligible for subdivision into two 10+ acre lots, offering options for future development or estate planning. The location offers both convenience and recreation. Downtown Kalispell provides shopping, dining, and healthcare just under 30 minutes away. The Glacier Park International Airport (approximately 40 minutes) makes travel simple, while Whitefish Mountain Resort (about 45 minutes) provides acclaimed skiing and year-round mountain recreation. Flathead Lake, Little Bitterroot Lake, the Thompson Chain of Lakes, McGregor Lake, and Smith Lake are all nearby, each offering unique opportunities for boating, fishing, and outdoor enjoyment. And right from your own gate, the Blacktail–Wild Bill Trail System connects you to miles of scenic routes for horseback riding, hiking, and off-road adventure across the National Forest landscape. If you’re seeking a balance of craftsmanship, equestrian functionality, recreation, and forested serenity — all within easy reach of town — this Montana property truly delivers.
