About This Home
Tucked away in complete privacy on 6.64 acres, this 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom ranch-style home offers a peaceful mountain retreat surrounded by mature forest and abundant local wildlife. The main level immediately impresses with stunning wood ceilings and rich hardwood floors that run throughout the open-concept living space. At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen, thoughtfully designed with a large center island, premium granite countertops, and a gas range. The main floor layout hosts the primary bedroom suite and two secondary bedrooms, while the fully finished daylight walkout basement expands the home's footprint significantly. Downstairs, a massive recreation room features a cozy pellet stove and opens up to three additional bedrooms and a full bath. Outdoor living and modern comfort are maximized here. Relax on the deep, covered front porch or the expansive wrap-around deck that overlooks a private meadow—perfect for watching deer and elk cross the property. Inside, enjoy total peace of mind and efficient cooling with a brand-new, newly installed 4-ton AC unit. In addition to the attached garage, the acreage features a substantial detached shop building equipped with its own wood stove and built-in workstation, offering the ultimate setup for projects, hobbies, and extra storage. Situated in the heart of a recreational paradise, this property is just minutes from premier outdoor activities. Anglers and birdwatchers will appreciate being a short distance from Smith Lake and its protected waterfowl production area, while larger-scale boating, fishing, and swimming are easily accessible at nearby Ashley Lake and Flathead Lake. The property also serves as an excellent basecamp for exploring local trail systems like Lone Pine State Park, the Herron Park trail system, and rock climbing at the Kila Crags, while winter brings local cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and downhill sports at Blacktail Mountain Ski Area.
