BACK ON THE MARKET - NO FAULT OF THE PROPERTY. Introducing a rare opportunity to own a truly special 7.7-acre property in Darby that’s move-in ready and set in one of the Bitterroot Valley’s most idyllic settings. Surrounded by mountain views, mature trees, pasture, a pond, and the peaceful sounds of Tin Cup Ditch flowing through the property, this is the kind of Montana lifestyle people dream about. The primary home, built in 2003, offers 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with a warm, welcoming layout designed for both comfort and functionality. Features include a main-level primary suite with laundry, a main-level Rinnai heater, radiant floor heat in the basement, and two wood-burning stoves that add warmth and rustic charm. Thoughtful updates include new siding (2019), gutters (2020), a kitchen remodel (2020), a primary bath remodel (2020), a new roof (2021), and an upstairs bathroom remodel (2026). Step outside and experience everything this property has to offer. Perfectly set up for country living, the land includes cross fencing, a chicken coop, garden space, root cellar, pond, Tin Cup Ditch water rights, and a strong 30 gallon per minute well. Whether you envision horses, hobby farming, homesteading, entertaining, or simply enjoying privacy and wide-open space, this property offers endless possibilities. Adding even more potential is a second residence, originally built in 1974 and permitted for a 2-bedroom septic. While not currently livable as a residence, the structure offers an opportunity for future improvement and could be transformed into guest quarters, rental income potential, or multi-generational living space. Rarely do properties combine beauty, functionality, water features, privacy, and future potential in such a desirable Darby location. This is more than a home. It’s a lifestyle.
