Property Listing 
Country Elegance Bitterroot Valley, MT  
Introducing a perfect pairing of country meets elegance. This lovely cedar sided home of approximately 3,200 square feet has recently been given a thorough and tasteful upgrade by the current owner, an architect/retired general contractor. Utilizing a full understanding of quality finishes and modern touches, the home has been given visual appeal in hickory wide plank flooring; six-panel solid wood doors and trim; oil rubbed bronze Schlage hardware at all doors; and a rock-faced 42” gas fireplace in the great room. While other recently added items may not be readily visible they provide modern creature comforts, for instance the high efficiency Trane gas furnace and electric air conditioning, high capacity Rinnai on-demand water heater and constant pressure well pump system. The kitchen features porcelain 20” tile flooring, a spacious pantry, 1 ˝” solid maple butcher block countertops and porcelain apron front sink with brushed pewter pullout faucet. An Amana French door refrigerator/freezer and Bosch dishwasher have been incorporated in the new kitchen design. The master suite, an additional guest bedroom (which could be utilized as a craft room or office) and guest powder room are located on the main level along with the great room and kitchen. An extra deep soaking tub has been installed in the master bathroom. Designer lighting, brushed pewter faucets and trim in all bathrooms and dual pane, low-E wood windows with energy efficient dual cell shades are among the extra amenities. Two complete bedrooms and a bathroom with walk-in tiled shower are situated on the lower level…a sunny, airy walk-out basement. A bonus room with built-in bookcase/TV unit and a 9’ x 12’ laundry room with deep sink round out the livable space in this stylish home. The appeal continues on the exterior of this charming home. An oversized attached garage is insulated and finished with carriage house style doors to give it great character. Trex decking used on the upper level deck ensures a maintenance-free entertainment area for years to come. A large concrete patio extends from the lower level. Stone deck columns are connected with powder coated iron railings. Colored concrete retaining walls meet 6’ deer-proof fencing to enclose a yard filled with an array of new and mature landscaping; a 100 year old MacIntosh apple tree, Mountain ash and ornamental crabapple, lilacs, roses, lavender, clematis and a large garden space provide bountiful beauty. This 10.5 acre property contains the perfect elements for keeping horses. Five of the ten acres are in an open pasture fronting the home, kept lush with unlimited water rights from the Bitter Root Irrigation Ditch. Also supporting the horse aspect of the property is a 30’ x 70’ barn with tack room, 15’ x 30’ shop, a stall and attached corral. Two heated water tanks service the corral and pasture areas. Additional outdoor amenities include a 50 amp RV hookup with water and sewer tap, two dog pens and two frost-free spigots. The property lies in a bowl that provides stunning, front-row views of the Como Peaks and Brady Peak within the southern chain of the Bitterroot Mountain Range. Situated less than a mile from the main route through the Bitterroot Valley, the access is easy and the setting is that of a quiet, rural and country atmosphere. Adjacent properties are deed restricted from further development ensuring a future of continued tranquility. Located just a half mile from the home is the Bitterroot River and an excellent fishing and raft launch access site. Avid anglers delight in opportunities to fly-fish this stretch of blue-ribbon trout stream. Lake Como, a beautiful alpine lake offers boating and water sports and is only 5 miles away. Hiking, horseback riding and all-terrain vehicle exploration are plentiful on numerous Forest Service trailheads throughout the immediate vicinity. Big game hunters relish the options for archery and rifle seasons taking place each autumn. During the winter, downhill and cross-country skiers are within 30 miles of wonderful snow conditions, and snowmobilers can access much of the Bitterroot National Forest. Don’t despair…urban options are available in the area too! Enjoy the variety of shops, galleries, eateries and pubs located in and between Hamilton and Darby. Hamilton offers a multitude of medical and professional services and has a small jetport to support private aircraft. Both a municipal golf course and the private Stock Farm Club are along the outskirts of town. Missoula, 45 miles north of Hamilton, provides a large host of opportunities in all phases of life and is home of the University of Montana and the headquarters of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.
