Surrounded by mature forest and with the very robust Prickly Pear Creek flowing through the corner of the property, this is an exceptional setting with a comfortable home, great outbuildings, a spring, and National Forest access just a mile up the road. The home offers an open kitchen/dining/living area, hardwood floors, primary suite with remodeled bath and walk-in closet, plus a basement family/rec room, bedroom, and mechanical room. Recent improvements include a new 200-amp electrical service and panel, updated wiring, added insulation in remodeled areas, some new windows, butcher-block countertops, and an on-demand electric water heater. The approximately 1,000-sq-ft insulated/finished outbuilding is a dream for an artist or woodworker and has 200-amp service for kilns, a propane Rinnai heater, and a wood stove. A separate - and adorable - dry guest cabin has power and wood stove, and then to top it all off there is a large wood-fired sauna and meditation/yoga platform that sit right along the gorgeous creek. This place is the quintessential Montana dream; so peaceful and picturesque, all within less than 30 minutes of downtown Helena!
