About This Home

Tucked into the trees and surrounded by mountain views, this stunning Darby, Montana property delivers the best of Montana living with comfort, privacy, and room to spread out. Located on just over 20 wooded acres in the heart of the scenic Bitterroot Valley, the property features a spacious custom-built main residence, an inviting, well-appointed guest house, while Tin Cup Creek and Iron Horse Creek runs through the grounds, creating an ideal Montana setting.
The main home spans 4,357 square feet of beautifully designed living space with custom hardwood floors and beautifully-selected high-end finishes throughout. With three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, it offers a thoughtful layout and warm, inviting spaces. The spacious primary suite provides true luxury with a spa bathtub, large walk-in closet and gorgeous views of the surrounding forest. Outside, enjoy a soak in the hot tub under the stars or host friends on the expansive patios and BBQ area including a pizza oven —an incredible space for entertaining and relaxing.
Cooking enthusiasts will love the kitchen with its high end Wolf appliances, two Asko dishwashers from Sweden, Sub-Zero Refrigerator with double doors, along with a wine cooler. The home also features a Lutron lighting system and surround sound, adding modern convenience and enhancing the overall living experience.
A 1,576 square foot guest house adds even more flexibility and convenience. With two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and the same attention to quality and comfort, it’s ideal for extended family and guests.
The detached 1,346 square foot, three-car garage offers ample space for vehicles and storage, as well as a half bathroom. The large studio situated above the garage can be utilized as a play room, office space or gymnasium.
The meticulously landscaped grounds were thoughtfully designed to create a stunning, park-like setting that surrounds both residences with natural beauty. The jointly owned common area adds a 45 acre meadow for walking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing or snow shoeing, conveniently located within a short walking distance from the property.
Whether you're exploring the wooded acreage, enjoying the comforts of the home or listening to the sounds of the flowing creeks, this exceptional property captures everything that makes life in the Bitterroot Valley so extraordinary.
