About this House

Experience the best of Montana living on 11.85 irrigated acres in the West Fork of the Bitterroot Valley, where endless outdoor recreation begins right outside your door. Surrounded by mountain views and just minutes from the Bitterroot National Forest, Painted Rocks Lake, trails, hunting, fishing, horseback riding, snowmobiling, and countless other year-round adventures, this property is an exceptional basecamp for every season. The impressive Montana log home is designed to comfortably accommodate residents and guest, featuring a private primary suite in the loft, a main-level bedroom, and a spacious open basement that provides the perfect additional sleeping area for visitors. Offered turn-key furnished, you can simply move in and immediately begin enjoying everything this remarkable property has to offer. Outside, you'll find a beautiful pond, irrigated pasture, fenced and cross-fenced acreage, a 1,064-square-foot shop, barn, and several historic outbuildings that reflect the area's rich ranching heritage while providing ample space for livestock equipment, hobbies, or recreational gear. Recent improvements, including new main-level flooring and freshly stained exterior logs and deck, enhance both the home's appearance and long-term maintenance. Steeped in the history of the historic Alta community, the property offers a unique connection to the West Fork's early days of ranching, logging, and mining. The historic outbuildings serve as a reminder of Montana's past while complementing a property that is equally suited for today's recreational lifestyle. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, seasonal retreat, or legacy property, this exceptional offering combines Montana history, modern comfort, and unmatched access to some of the state's finest year-round recreation.
