Missoula, MT (Missoula County)

The well designed layout of the home offers function and beauty as it flows with grace from a lovely foyer entrance into a cozy den - perfect for spending a winter evening. Connected via the back side is the master suite with outdoor access onto a quiet deck, a roomy bathroom featuring double vanity, whirlpool tub, tile shower and walk-in closet. The stately great room is covered in hardwood and has an elegant molded concrete fireplace soaring two floors in height that is operated with clean, efficient gas. A study/office is tucked off to one side of the room with an enclosed sun room beyond featuring panoramic views...a great place to enjoy morning coffee and spy on the abundant wildlife. The home is equipped with a high-speed internet connection. Opposite the great room is a wonderful kitchen with tile countertops and portable island work center with a pantry and storage closet in handy proximity. The formal dining room incorporates windows galore and room for hosting a large gathering. Two powder rooms are located on the main level, one near the great room and another in the utility/laundry room next to the garage access.

Upstairs, a unique landing overlooks the downstairs from both sides of the railing as it leads to dual bedrooms separated by a bathroom with tile shower. The bedrooms each offer dramatic outdoor views from large picturesque windows.

A double garage houses the mechanical room for the home and access into the crawl space. Ample shelving and storage areas abound. A staircase outside the garage leads to a bonus/hobby room positioned over the garage. This 281+/- square foot room was designed with storage utility in mind and features clever closets tucked into the dormers of both sides. A perfect place to retreat for sewing, tying fishing flies or handling guest overflow.

A 26 by 35.5 barn/shop has slider doors of the size to accommodate an RV, while of course supplying adequate space for lawn equipment and outdoor toys, and has a metal roof and shelving on three sides for tons of organization and storage.

The grounds are meticulous featuring a manicured lawn enhanced with planted shrubbery, native bushes, mature trees and spring wildflowers. An established garden area is fenced to keep out wildlife and has a great history of annual production. Great water rights accompany the 5.25 acres to include a seasonal pond and waterway used for irrigation and enjoyment.

Only five minutes from downtown Hamilton in one direction and to a Bitterroot National Forest trailhead in another, this property has an abundance of recreational and cultural options. Anglers, cyclists and hikers will relish the opportunities in the immediate vicinity. During the winter season there are three downhill ski areas within an hour of the property and also an exceptionally maintained cross-country ski area at the south end of the Bitterroot Valley. Two easily accessed lakes offer the chance for water sport activities. All-terrain vehicle exploration, archery and rifle hunting are also among the recreational highlights. All four seasons bring a mystic and charm of their own. The town of Hamilton is a community rich in beauty and pride featuring an advanced medical facility, legal and professional services, wonderful shopping and dining experiences and a jet-capable airport for private aircraft. Two golf courses, including a Tom Fazio designed course at the exclusive Stock Farm Club, provide challenging rounds.
