10052 Floating Island Way, Shepherd, MT, 59079

About This Home

This unique property features a magnificent timbered home sited high above the Yellowstone River, offering a rare outlook and superb recreational opportunities. The views from the patios and master bedroom are breathtaking and ever-changing. The house is solidly built with exposed Douglas Fir beams and two stone chimneys, softened by many artistic touches. Fish Fry Lake boasts 7 acres of exciting fishing for you or the grandkids – from 6-pound largemouth bass and “boss” bluegills to dozens of panfish. Or just relax in a kayak and enjoy the sunset. Water quality is assured by maintenance-free floating islands. For the hunter, Fish Fry Lake attracts wood ducks, prized for their plumage. Deer hunting is exceptional, with high-scoring muleys and whitetail only minutes away. The private channel below the house provides accessible waterfowl opportunities. The property is licensed as a pheasant hunting preserve (Joy of Hunting) and supports acres of dryland or irrigated food plots, roosting cover and thermal mass. A mature heirloom orchard produces apples and pears, which are usually shared with neighbors or sold to the local cider mill. A separate 2-story cottage with 3-bay carport can house a property manager or guest overflow. Only 25 minutes from the amenities and convenience of Montana's largest community!
