Description
Set on 40 acres above the Helena Valley, this large, well-thought-out home was designed to take full advantage of its remarkable Montana setting. Sweeping views stretch southwest across the Helena Valley, while the Big Belt Mountains rise to the northeast. A long driveway leads to the home and creates a welcome sense of privacy and solitude, yet the restaurants, shopping, services, and conveniences of Helena remain just a short drive away. The 4,554-square-foot home features six bedrooms, four bathrooms,...Set on 40 acres above the Helena Valley, this large, well-thought-out home was designed to take full advantage of its remarkable Montana setting. Sweeping views stretch southwest across the Helena Valley, while the Big Belt Mountains rise to the northeast. A long driveway leads to the home and creates a welcome sense of privacy and solitude, yet the restaurants, shopping, services, and conveniences of Helena remain just a short drive away. The 4,554-square-foot home features six bedrooms, four bathrooms, generous gathering spaces, and large, thoughtfully placed windows that make the surrounding landscape part of the home. Natural light fills the interior while the windows frame the valley, mountains, and changing Montana sky, keeping the landscape present while the home feels connected to the land around it. The main level is designed around spending time together. A spacious living room provides room to gather and relax, while the large open kitchen connects naturally with both the main living space and dining room. There is ample room for cooking and entertaining, from everyday meals to hosting holidays when everyone can gather under one roof. A wood-burning fireplace in the kitchen and dining area adds warmth and character, particularly during Montana's colder months. Cherry flooring, tongue-and-groove pine, solid wood doors, and solid wood trim carry natural materials throughout the interior. Upstairs, a large loft-style living area gives the home another place to gather while taking advantage of some of its most impressive windows and views. The space is large enough to serve several purposes, whether used as a second living room, home office, game area, or a combination of uses. It also gives people room to spread out when the house is full, creating a separate place to work, relax, watch a game, or spend time together without everyone gathering in the same room. The master suite is located on the main level and offers a spacious bedroom, walk-in closet, and attached bath featuring a large jetted tub, separate shower, and private toilet area. A private deck extends the suite outdoors and provides another place to enjoy the quiet setting. A second bedroom is also located on the main level, while four additional bedrooms downstairs provide plenty of room for guests, hobbies, or dedicated work-from-home space. With bedrooms distributed across both levels, the home provides separation from the primary gathering areas while making efficient use of its expansive floor plan. The appeal of the property continues well beyond the home itself. The long driveway and open ground create breathing room, while a large shop adds the kind of practical space that becomes invaluable on a Montana property. There is room for vehicles, boats, ATVs, hunting and fishing gear, tools, equipment, and projects. A fenced paddock connected to a large indoor stall provides existing infrastructure for horses or other livestock and adds another dimension to how the property can be used. The recreational possibilities continue beyond the property line. Approximately 640 acres of Montana state land directly adjoin the property and open into thousands of additional acres of BLM land. For someone who enjoys hunting, hiking, horseback riding, wildlife watching, or simply exploring the country around home, having that connection to public land substantially expands what is accessible right out the door. Mule deer and wild turkeys are frequent visitors, making encounters with wildlife a natural part of spending time here. Elk, whitetail deer, and black bear are also found throughout the surrounding country. The area offers deer and elk hunting opportunities under current Montana regulations, while the adjoining state and BLM lands provide additional room to explore throughout the year. The location also puts some of the Helena area's best-known outdoor recreation within easy reach. Hauser Lake and Lake Helena are both nearby, adding boating, fishing, paddling, swimming, and camping opportunities close to home. Black Sandy State Park and White Sandy Recreation Area provide developed access to Hauser Lake, including boat launches, while the Causeway provides public fishing and non-motorized boat access to Lake Helena. Canyon Ferry Reservoir adds another major destination for boating and fishing within the greater Helena area. Fly anglers can head north to the Missouri River below Holter Dam, a productive tailwater supporting wild rainbow and brown trout. Great Divide Ski Area adds another season to the recreational calendar and is approximately 45 minutes away, depending on route and road conditions. Between the surrounding public lands, Hauser and Canyon Ferry reservoirs, Lake Helena, the Missouri River, and nearby mountain country, opportunities to hunt, fish, boat, hike, ride, and ski are all within reach. One of the property's many strengths is how well it balances privacy with everyday convenience. The long driveway, acreage, and surrounding landscape create a sense of solitude at home, while Helena remains close enough that a trip to town does not become an all-day affair. Costco and other 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 further support comfortable year-round living. This property brings together the pieces that make owning acreage in Western Montana so appealing. With room to live, gather, recreate, and explore, it offers a private Montana setting without giving up convenient access to the amenities of Helena.
