About This Home

Just 10 minutes from Troy and the Kootenai River, on a paved, county-maintained road, sits this level 7.89-acre parcel, located next to a large section of Stimson Lumber land. The property has a mix of trees, open meadows, and is fenced for animals, with an older chicken coop, garden area, shed & corrals. There are no covenants or restrictions, so build a home, add other buildings, and bring the farm animals! The 3-story shop house was built in 2013 and is 32 x 40 and has living quarters on the 2nd and 3rd levels, with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living room area on both levels. The main level is an open shop with a gravel floor, separate workshop, and a room that has a wood stove and a cistern for water. The property does not have a well and the owner was hauling water to a cistern. This is a good well area, but no well has been drilled. The property has septic approval, but no septic on record. Power is to the home & it is wired, but power is currently shut off. Property and shop need cleanup and work. The property is level and all useable. This is a quiet, private area, with larger parcels and abundant wildlife, next to Stimson Lumber Company land. Make this into your dream Montana homestead!
