Property Description
Adventure awaits millions of acres of Forest Service land as your backyard. In addition to the main home and two separate guest quarters, this remarkable horse property, spanning just under 20 acres and bordering USFS, offers a large arena, 5-stall barn complete with hay storage and tack room, durable steel pipe fencing, irrigated pasture and three ponds. Located just 10 minutes from the charming, old-west town of Darby, this property is situated in the heart of Montana's recreational paradise. You can ride for days on forest service lands accessed directly from home or go fishing on the West Fork of the Bitterroot River in under five minutes. Boating at Painted Rocks Reservoir is only 21 miles away, and skiing/boarding at Lost Trail Powder Mountain is just a quick 30-minute drive. Surrounded by expansive views, the thoughtfully designed, custom-built, home offers 4-bedrooms and a bonus room, a game room with wet bar and wine fridge, a library space, sauna, sound studio, and an attached double-car garage. Various cozy nooks invite you to relax by a fire and soak in the breathtaking south valley views. Find your peace on the wrap-around deck and patio, or relax in the hot-tub, each is perfectly positioned to showcase the surrounding mountains, passing wildlife, and the tranquility of your livestock grazing in the lush pastures. You'll also enjoy the serene retreat in the trees featuring a gazebo overlooking one of the picturesque ponds.
The 1-bedroom guest wing complete with kitchen, bath and a private entrance offers flexibility for visitors or additional living arrangements.
Above the large separate shop, you'll find a complete 840sq ft studio apartment that has served as a successful vacation rental or could accommodate multi-generational living.
Independence and security are key features of this property equipped with a generator capable of powering the entire estate, complemented by solar panels and electric utilities. With abundant sunlight and fertile soil, this property is a gardener's dream, featuring a fenced garden area ready for cultivation. A chicken coop and enclosed chicken run complete the setting, making it ideal for those seeking a self-sufficient lifestyle or simply savoring the quiet joys of country living.
