26 Castele Ln, Trout Creek, MT 59874

Set high above the Noxon Reservoir, this thoughtfully designed mountain home captures sweeping water and mountain views on 4.2 peaceful acres. No covenants or restrictions. Located just outside the quaint town Trout Creek and within easy reach of three public boat launches, the setting offers both quiet seclusion and convenient access to year-round recreation. Built in 2014 the 2,400 sq ft residence features two bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a flexible bonus room across two finished levels. A substantial 20' x 24' carport with exposed wood beams welcomes you in, while towering pines frame the expansive front deck, creating a private vantage point to take in the surrounding landscape. Inside, the main level is warm and inviting with 16' vaulted wood ceilings, a ceiling fan, and large south-facing picture windows that fill the space with natural light and showcase the reservoir and mountain views. The kitchen is both functional and beautifully crafted, offering custom alder wood cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, and GE stainless-steel appliances (updated in 2021), including a gas range. A reverse osmosis system was added in 2022. The adjoining breakfast nook flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, and French doors lead to a 10' x 30' deck, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The primary suite on the main level provides a comfortable retreat with dual vanities, a spacious custom tile shower with three shower heads, a closet, and ceiling fan. A convenient half bath and a separate laundry room with storage complete this level. An accessible 14' x 21' loft offers additional storage space. Downstairs, the walk-out lower-level features 9' ceilings, a generous living area with picture windows capturing the views, and a rustic wood bar for gathering and entertaining. A covered 10' x 30' concrete patio extends the living space outdoors. This level also includes a large bedroom with closet and ceiling fan, a full bathroom, and a 10' x 13' concrete-lined secure room with a locking door, ideal for an office, pantry, or safe room. The utility room houses a whole-house water filtration system, 50-gallon hot water heater, well pressure tank, breaker panel, and fiber optic modem. Radiant floor heating runs throughout both levels, powered by propane, and a 36,000 BTU mini-split system (installed in 2022) provides cooling. A Generac 18KW backup generator was also installed in 2022. Alderwood interior doors and trim carry throughout the home, and the interior was fully repainted in 2023. A central outdoor wood boiler (Model 5036) supplements heat to both the home and shop via underground lines, improving efficiency and reducing propane usage. Nearby, a 9' x 10' firewood shelter was added in 2022. A custom-built 12' x 24' x 8' storage shed, also added in 2022, includes power, LED lighting, two built-in 8' workbenches, and a loft for additional storage. Two freshwater hydrants are located on opposite sides of the home, along with a 1,000-gallon owned propane tank. The 34' x 44' shop, built in 2021, is fully insulated and heated with 16' walls and three overhead doors (two 12' x 14' and one 10' x 10'). Designed for versatility, it includes 50-amp service, water and sewer hookups, reinforced 5" concrete flooring with center drains, seven Anderson windows, and extensive LED lighting with numerous outlets. A 100K BTU heat exchanger connected to the wood boiler provides an efficient heating option, and a CAT6 ethernet line connects the shop to the home network. Every detail has been carefully considered to create a property that is both functional and comfortable in a truly scenic setting. With room for animals, hobbies, and outdoor living, this is Montana at its finest; quiet, open, and ready to enjoy.
