Melrose, MT (Beaverhead County)

This National Forest in-holding is an island of just under 100± acres completely surrounded by three million acres of the Beaverhead National Forest. The 11,000± foot exposed granite peaks of the Pioneer Mountain range loom above it. The views of this private mountain valley are all yours, no other buildings or lights in sight, just trees, meadows and creek. Fully manicured lawns and irrigated meadows surround a full complement of classic mountain log buildings. The respected, well-known architect and builder team of Candace Miller and Yellowstone Traditions, utilizing old cabins and recycled wood have created a compound consisting of an owner?s home, guest house, caretaker?s house, fishing/sauna cabin and a barn. The property features underground electricity and fiber-optic telephone plus broadband satellite internet connection. Town is seven miles (10 minutes); commercial air service is under one hour. The grandfather of natural fishing pond design, Joe Urbani, built a beautiful trout pond which the cabins overlook. Elk, deer, antelope, grouse and partridge roam the property and adjacent forests. The fabled gold-medal middle section of the blue-ribbon designated Big Hole River is 10 minutes from the front door.
