6958 Black Sandy Loop, Helena, MT 59602

Set on 40 acres above the Helena Valley, this 4,554-square-foot home takes full advantage of its Montana setting, with sweeping views southwest across the valley and the Big Belt Mountains to the northeast. A long driveway provides privacy and solitude, while Helena’s restaurants, shopping, services, and conveniences remain a short drive away. The home features six bedrooms, four bathrooms, generous gathering spaces, and large windows that frame the valley, mountains, and changing Montana sky. The main level centers around a spacious living room, open kitchen, and dining area. A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character, while cherry flooring, tongue-and-groove pine, solid wood doors, and solid wood trim bring natural materials throughout the interior. Upstairs, a large loft-style living area offers flexible space for a second living room, office, game area, or other uses. The main-level primary suite includes a spacious bedroom, walk-in closet, attached bath with jetted tub and separate shower, and private deck. A second bedroom is also on the main level, with four additional bedrooms downstairs providing room for guests, hobbies, or work-from-home space. Outside, a large shop provides practical space for vehicles, boats, ATVs, tools, equipment, and projects. A fenced paddock and large indoor stall provide existing infrastructure for horses or other livestock. Approximately 640 acres of Montana state land directly adjoin the property and connect to thousands of additional acres of BLM land, expanding opportunities for hunting, hiking, horseback riding, wildlife watching, and exploring. Mule deer and wild turkeys are frequent visitors, while elk, whitetail deer, and black bear are also found in the surrounding country. Hauser Lake and Lake Helena are nearby for boating, fishing, paddling, swimming, and camping, with Canyon Ferry Reservoir providing another major recreation destination. The Missouri River below Holter Dam offers fly fishing for wild rainbow and brown trout, while Great Divide Ski Area is approximately 45 minutes away, depending on route and conditions. The property balances privacy and acreage with convenient access to Helena. Costco, major retailers, restaurants, medical services, building and ranch supplies, and Helena Regional Airport are all within a convenient drive. Cable internet, air conditioning, propane heat, and a buried propane tank support comfortable year-round living.
