Description
Bordering 1000s of acres of Kootenai National Forest, this 30 acre Montana retreat offers a highly desirable blend of privacy, serenity and convenience. Nature abounds on this piece of heaven on earth, located just minutes from Lake Koocanusa and a short 15-minute drive to Eureka. The log homestead, outbuildings & abundant gardens are buffered by a well-kept forest for supreme privacy & complete immersion in nature. The array of wildlife that grazes in this sanctuary setting include deer, herds of elk, the occasional moose & other more illusive animals like turkeys, waterfowl & a wide variety of birds. The wildlife find respite on this land. They might be seen at the sweet little pond, as you drive in, at the water feature just outside the kitchen window or meandering through the forest. The 3-Level Log Home, originally built with trees harvested from the land, exudes comfort and rustic charm. The air-lock entry opens into a new country kitchen with abundant windows that bring the great Montana outdoors inside. All the windows in the home have insulated shades for energy efficiency. The main level half-bath is complete with laundry hookups & a closet with a chute, and the kitchen boasts multiple pantry cupboards, a bright alcove suitable for sunrise meditation, and a secretary space to add functionality. The heart of the home is the massive stone fireplace in the main-level living room, with the back exposed in the kitchen. Step out under covered porches on 2 sides with ample room for BBQs, entertaining and lounging to watch the weather & Northern Lights. Upstairs is a dreamy master suite. This is a warm and inviting space with barn wood accents, stonework & distressed flooring. Highlights of the suite include a spacious dressing room with open closet & space for furnishings & storage, a linen closet & bathroom closet. The lower level boasts a den with second stone fireplace with propane insert, a guest bedroom, a spa bathroom with jetted Jacuzzi tub with in-line heater & large storage closet. It is replete with a small office & insulated root cellar to accommodate the garden harvest & your bulk food supply. Walk out the basement slider onto the covered patio area for a view across an open meadow. Below find a fire-pit, a stone-covered well-head with pitcher pump for water during power outages, as well as a frost-free hydrant. Across the driveway is the garage with work bench and stairway to huge storage attic above. The attached bunkhouse apartment might be used as a guest house, a spacious work-at-home-office, commercial studio or Airbnb. It is outfitted with a full-bath, propane & electric heat, a nice kitchenette & upstairs loft graced by an Aspen railing with rustic appeal. Currently, the apartment serves as a commercial massage therapy studio, library & loft-bedroom for the grandkids. Versatile add-ons include a carport with extra space for tools & a potting bench, as well as a frost-free hydrant. Equipment storage and an 8x10 chicken coop are convertible for other uses. Behind is a fenced horse pasture. Expansive fenced gardens provide a variety of orchard fruits, grapes, and a lovely herb & flower garden. The large system of irrigated raised beds contain perennial asparagus, a variety of berry patches, wild herbs and lots of space for vegetables. Up the mountain, marketable timber creates deep privacy against U.S. Forest Service border. In a natural stand of Aspens just outside your door, enjoy the fire-fit & fish pond. A wood-fired sauna, woodshed, a sheltered dog pen & rustic log playhouse are the country amenities completing this one-of-a-kind mountain homestead.
