Property Description
Although this home was built in 1998, the property's rich legacy replete with Montana character and charm dates back to the early 1900s. The area is known as Lake Como Orchards 3. In 1909 it was commonly known as University Heights, part of a planned community designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Discover this private and serene home nestled on 1.76 acres, surrounded by the Bitterroot Mountains & National Forest; and where you experience brilliant sunrises, morning echoes of nature and all the comforts of home while sipping a warm cup of coffee on a spacious wrap-around deck. Offering three levels with 2,800 square feet, you will find a total of 4 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms. The living room off the kitchen is on the second level along with one bedroom (currently used as an office) and full bathroom, washer & dryer. Main level hosts two primary and one guest bedroom with a shared 3/4 bathroom and family/sitting area with wood stove fireplace. For night owls, the deck views offer guests entertainment space and the perfect outdoor experience for viewing the night sky. The third level, loft area, boasts a full bathroom and is currently used as secondary office and storage space. There are many thoughtful upgrades throughout. Originally the home was used as a fishing or hunting stay. It can be utilized as a primary or secondary residence, a vacation getaway or seasonal rental. Shed was upgraded to large chicken coop with ample covered storage that is easily converted to house all your recreational supplies. Come experience the Montana lifestyle with frequent visits from deer, elk, cranes, falcons, eagles and owls. Minutes north of the world-class Darby Rodeo and town center that offers local restaurants and Western flare, and the shooting location for "Yellowstone." About 30 minutes south sits Lost Trail Ski Area. About 20 miles north sits Hamilton town center, dining, public golf and a private golf course at the Stock Farm Club, boutique shopping and the Ravalli County Airport.
