    Motivated Seller! Escape to the beauty of Western Montana with this well-maintained log home nestled on 1.56 acres. Set back just off the De Borgia frontage road, this property offers convenient access to I-90 while providing the privacy and tranquility of a secluded mountain retreat. Surrounded by mature trees with the perfect balance of wooded privacy and open sunshine, you'll enjoy a peaceful setting where the sights and sounds of nature become part of everyday life. The 1,900-square-foot log home features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, welcoming you with warmth and timeless character. Expansive windows and six cedar-framed skylights fill the home with natural light while framing picturesque views in every direction. The open living area is perfect for entertaining or relaxing by the fire, while multiple porches, balconies, and spacious decks extend your living space outdoors. Each bedroom offers direct access to its own outdoor space, making it easy to enjoy the peaceful surroundings, fresh mountain air, and abundant wildlife. For added peace of mind, this home has been pre-inspected by a master inspector and is move-in ready. The motivated seller has completed all repairs identified in the inspection, and the inspection report is available for buyer review. Recent updates include a new metal roof, upgraded blown-in ceiling insulation, new flooring, and new appliances. Multiple heating options, including a wood stove capable of heating the entire home, a propane stove, and electric heat, provide year-round comfort. Exceptional outbuildings make this property as functional as it is beautiful. Two insulated shops with concrete floors provide ample room for vehicles, recreational equipment, hobbies, or workshop space. The original 26' x 36' shop was built in 2006, while the newer 32' x 24' shop, completed in 2023, features oversized doors and an attached 15-foot covered RV or vehicle storage area. Two dedicated RV hookups with both 30-amp and 50-amp service make hosting easy, and the hot tub is wired with dedicated 220-volt service. A year-round natural spring adds a rare and tranquil feature while attracting deer, elk, wild turkey, and other Montana wildlife. Garden enthusiasts will appreciate the established greenhouse with a gravity-fed cistern watering system and a productive garden. Additional amenities include a wired six-camera security system with extra cameras, a Browning 15-gun safe in the primary bedroom, Blackfoot internet and phone service, and Dish Network availability. Perfectly positioned for outdoor recreation, the property is just 16 miles from Lookout Pass Ski & Recreation Area and approximately 10 miles from the renowned Route of the Hiawatha Trail, with nearby ATV and snowmobile trails providing access to endless skiing, fishing, hunting, hiking, mountain biking, and off-road adventures. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a mountain getaway, or the ultimate recreational basecamp, this exceptional property offers more than just a home—it offers a lifestyle of peace, privacy, and year-round adventure. An assumable VA loan is available. Shown by appointment only.
