The Ultimate "Home Base" for the Montana Maker
Forget the wasted space of a massive floor plan and the endless chores that come with it. This Fairfield gem is all about efficiency, character, and the total convenience of one-level living.
No stairs, no hassle—just a solid 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout where everything you need is on a single floor. The interior offers a compact, easy-to-maintain footprint featuring classic hardwood floors and a traditional, "tucked-away" kitchen. This layout is a dream for those who prefer a dedicated cooking space that keeps the meal-prep mess out of sight from the rest of the home. It’s a comfortable, functional retreat designed to leave you with more time for what actually matters.
And in this case, what matters is the massive 32x36 heated shop. Sitting on a prime corner lot with mature shade trees, this property is the ultimate setup for someone who wants to live simply inside so they can work (or play) hard outside. Whether you’re wrenching on rigs, woodworking, or staging gear for your next trip to the Rocky Mountain Front, this shop is the undisputed crown jewel of the property.
Small footprint, huge possibilities, and zero stairs. Welcome to your new headquarters. Beyond the living space, this property is engineered for the Montana climate and long-term durability. The exterior features a low-maintenance metal roof, while the interior stays comfortable year-round with central cooling—a welcome luxury during Fairfield summers. Situated on a generous corner lot, the yard is framed by established trees providing natural shade and privacy. Location is a standout feature, offering a quiet neighborhood vibe just a short walk from Fairfield’s highly-rated schools and local parks. Whether you are looking for a manageable primary residence with professional-grade workspace or a strategic home base near the Rocky Mountain Front and Freezeout Lake, this property delivers high utility with a small-town feel.
