    Welcome to one of Virginia City’s most captivating historic homes — where Montana adventure meets old-world craftsmanship in the heart of the West’s most iconic mining town. Built in 1864 and completely renovated with extraordinary attention to detail, this property captures the spirit of Montana living: rugged, artistic, refined, and deeply connected to the outdoors. Set on two city lots in historic Virginia City, this remarkable property offers the rare blend of western authenticity and luxury comfort. Inside, handcrafted Makore (African Cherry) wood trim and cabinetry warm every room, while Italian tile, original hardwood floors, custom tin accents, and a dramatic metal staircase create a rich texture of old-world charm and industrial mining-town character. The Tulikivi soapstone fireplace invites slow winter mornings after fresh powder in the mountains or long days on the river.The lofted primary suite feels like a private mountain retreat with its soaking tub, updated bath, and elevated views of the surrounding landscape. A separate ADU guest house with custom tin finishes provides endless flexibility for visiting friends, creative studio space, or income potential. Outside, the lifestyle becomes pure Montana. Spend mornings fly fishing the legendary Madison River, exploring nearby Ruby Reservoir, or chasing trout through the countless blue-ribbon rivers, streams, and watersheds that make Madison County a sportsman’s paradise. Hunt public lands nearby, ride mountain bikes through open valleys and alpine trails, hike endless backcountry terrain, or simply enjoy a glass of whiskey on the wraparound porch while watching the sun disappear behind the Tobacco Root Mountains. The fenced and beautifully landscaped grounds are filled with mature trees and perennial gardens — equally suited for the adventurous outdoorsman, the artist seeking inspiration, or the gardener who dreams of mountain air and quiet mornings. A shop/storage shed provide room for gear, drift boats, skis, or creative projects. Just a short walk to downtown Virginia City and directly across from the library, this home offers the perfect balance of solitude, community, and adventure. Whether you
