This peaceful property is bordered by Forest Service on two sides, yet it is a mere 2.5 miles from Highway 93. With access to miles of non-motorized trails in the Bitterroot National Forest and Selway Wilderness, this is the perfect home base from which to hike, mountain bike, horseback ride, cross country ski, or snowshoe from out your back door. One nearby motorized trail also provides access to back country roads for exploring on your four wheelers. Elk, deer, and wild turkey abound, as do songbirds, wildflowers, clean mountain air, and the perfect combination of tranquility and adventure. Many added bonuses come with this property. There’s nothing like fresh eggs from your own chickens, and a chicken coop with attached storage space is ready for you. Many fruit trees have been planted and are becoming established, plus the well established beautiful apple trees from the historical apple boom of the early 1900s. Soothe and cleanse your body in the wood fired sauna, set up your she shed or man cave in the bonus dry cabin, create with your woodworking equipment in the shop, and make the most of the areas of covered storage for your recreational equipment. This home features a wrap-around porch from which to relax and enjoy the sunrise or to host friends for a barbecue. The home has an open living area with many custom touches added by the builder and a loft that could serve as an office, game room, guest area, or additional living space. The adjoining property is also for sale. The purchase of both properties would provide the owner just under 6 acres of land that is bordered by Forest Service on three sides. The neighboring property, which is a horse-ready property, boasts two stories with a full kitchen on both levels. Please see the listing (MLS #30049473) to learn more about this neighboring property and its outbuildings.
