21.08 Acres in Helena, MT - $925,000

This meticulously maintained custom log-sided home on a parked-out forested lot is stunning. The owners’ attention to detail is witnessed firsthand immediately when you drive onto this 21+ acre parcel. The ponderosa pines are thinned and immaculate, with little to no dead or dying branches. This increases the aesthetic beauty of the parcel but, more importantly, significantly decreases fire danger. This kind of sweat equity took years to complete and was cost-shared through DNRC several years back. It is already done for you!The home itself is situated on the private forested parcel in such a fashion that no neighbors can be seen. Upstairs is an open-concept kitchen, dining room, and living room with vaulted ceilings. The kitchen is complete with beautifully hand-crafted knotty hickory cabinets. The windows peer out onto your private wildlife oasis. The sellers have documented over 40+ species of birds and routinely see various four-legged visitors and turkeys. The main level is a large main bedroom ensuite with double sinks, a laundry room, and a large office. You will find a generously sized family room throughout the walkout basement level, two additional bedrooms, and another full bathroom. There is also a cold room with a constant ambient temperature for canned goods and extra storage. The lower-level utility room houses the home’s boiler (3 zones) and an owned water softener. All the home’s closets are oversized and walk-in for extra storage. Outside, you will find a detached two-stall 26x26 foot insulated/finished garage with an excellent work area and workbench. There are also full hookups for an RV/travel trailer for the extra visitors that will undoubtedly stop by!From the homesite, the picturesque property gently slopes up to the top of the ridge for some incredible vistas. The orientation of this lot ensures no one will ever build within the home’s viewscape above the house (to the West) to maintain perpetual privacy. The location of this home is an angler’s dream. Whether you like fishing for trout, walleye, perch, ling, or other varieties of fish, this area is arguably the most well-rounded in the state. Several boat ramps and fisheries are within 3 miles of the driveway (see bullets below for more info). Public lands abound in the area. The state’s capital of Helena is just a 20-minute drive away with many common box stores (Costco, Lowes, Home Depot, Winco, Wal-Mart, Sportsmans Warehouse, Natural Grocers, Target, etc.). The convenience and sheer outdoor opportunities this home provides are rarely found. To top it off, the structures are well thought out and in like new condition.
