Montana Legacy Living: A Multigenerational Compound on 85+ Private Acres near Canyon Ferry Lake
Discover the ultimate legacy property in Montana. This custom, one-of-a-kind estate offers a seamless fusion of authentic Montana log home craftsmanship and modern, flexible design, all set on over 85 acres of pristine private land in the coveted Duck Creek area. Designed specifically for the discerning multigenerational buyer, this compound delivers unparalleled space, serenity, and the chance for generations to live, work, and play together under the vast Big Sky.
Architectural Excellence & Versatile Living:
The primary residence is a masterpiece of authentic Montana architecture, featuring massive custom logs set by a helicopter to ensure structural integrity and dramatic visual appeal. The layout provides multiple distinct living quarters:
Main Level: A spacious primary suite with a private loft, a large guest room, and an additional open loft area—perfect as a play space, secondary office, or workout or craft space.
Walk-Out Lower Level: Easily converts into a fully equipped, self-contained three-bedroom apartment with its own entrance. Ideal for extended family, full-time staff, or a luxury corporate retreat space.
Private Guest Apartment: A secluded unit located on the backside of the oversized, heated six-car tandem garage, offering independence for guests.
A dedicated gun safe room provides secure storage, with the flexibility to transform into a high-end wine cellar or an entertainment bar for intimate gatherings.
Unmatched Outdoor and Recreational Amenities:
This property is a sanctuary for the outdoor enthusiast, bordered by 636 acres of State Land at the base of the Belt Mountains. Direct access to year-round recreation awaits from your doorstep:
Hunting: Located in the prime Hunting District 391.
Trail Access: Enjoy immediate access to extensive trails for horseback riding and hiking on state land, with nearby BLM and National Forest land for endless exploration.
Water Recreation: Spend your summers on nearby Canyon Ferry Lake, known for its world-class fishing, boating, and watersports.
On-Site Features: The grounds feature a tranquil spring-fed pond, a firepit area, and a hot tub for relaxing under the stars after a long day of Montana adventure as well as an abandoned landing strip.
This is more than a home—it is a private, self-sufficient legacy compound where generations can thrive. Secure your retreat in Montana.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter had a wonderful education here from k-2nd grade (we moved.) She was challenged, expected to do her best, and honestly loved her teachers and the staff. We've since moved away, and miss the relationship with her teachers. Living in a larger city makes it more difficult for teachers to connect with children, and in Townsend there are no limitations!Parent Review12y ago - Townsend 7-8

I have so much gratitude for Mrs. Hansen, Mr. Racht, Mrs. Lewis, and Miss Addie Fiddlar! Each of you made our time in Townsend much more positive! We miss y'all!!! Amazing school and unique and wonderful community!Other Review2y ago
