Historic character meets Montana's wild beauty on this 13-acre property, featuring a 4,363-square-foot log home with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Originally built with craftsmanship that stands the test of time, the home offers space, comfort, and a deep connection to the land.

The main floor features a primary suite with a generous walk-in closet, while upstairs, a large guest room with a window seat and expansive views shares the space with a smaller bedroom or office. A bridge walkway connects the upstairs rooms, overlooking the vaulted living area below. The lower level is fully finished, offering an additional bedroom, bath, spacious living room with a wood stove, and a built-in safe. A separate entrance from the garage leads to this level, providing added flexibility. Designed for everyday function and Montana living, the home includes a wide kitchen with high ceilings, enclosed-shade Pella windows, and a door leading to a covered porch with mountain views. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, while a mudroom off the kitchen provides access to a large pantry and the attached two-car garage. A wraparound cedar porch, multiple covered patios, and a walkway leading to the ponds invite time outdoors.

The land itself is steeped in history. Mission Springs, a series of natural spring-fed ponds, maintain a steady 41-degree temperature year-round. Decades ago, this property was home to a working fish hatchery, and remnants of the original operation remain. The creek running through the back of the property connects to Mission Creek, flowing from the Mission Mountains down to the Bison Range. The dense terrain along the waterway attracts diverse wildlife—bears, deer, foxes, otters, eagles, and countless bird species are frequent visitors.

Additional structures include a well-maintained older garage along the driveway, complete with a dirt floor and metal garage door, as well as a small bunkhouse with built-in bunk beds and a fly-tying bench. There are also two exterior wood sheds and a dog enclosure attached to the garage.
Wide hallways, three-foot doorways, and thoughtful design make the home both inviting and practical. With a wood-burning fireplace upstairs, a stove in the basement, and AC throughout, this home is ready for all seasons. Whether you're drawn to the history, the land, or the thoughtful details, this property is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Montana's past and future.
