Lost Sapphire Ranch rustic elegance in rural Philipsburg! This immaculate home on twenty wooded acres with two spring-fed ponds beckons new owners to enjoy tranquility and relaxation. Enter via the covered porch to a welcoming fire in the wood-burning stove gracing the comfortable great room, a gourmet kitchen with granite counter tops, center island and gas stove, and a comfortable dining room. The primary bedroom/bath suite and a second bedroom and powder room are also on the main level, as is a den/office with high speed internet, the laundry room and an enormous mud room. Three-zone radiant floor heat and 2 wood-burning stoves keep everything comfy in winter, and double-hung windows let the breeze in for summer comfort. For the larger family or guests there is an upper story with two more bedrooms, bathroom and a second family room, also with a wood-burning stove. The outside space is equally charming with a spacious, covered front porch to enjoy watching wildlife at the ponds and lower meadow, or the back deck and garden area where one can relax in warm sunshine or enjoy the magnificent summer Montana skies, gazing at the stars. There is also a covered patio with access to the mudroom where one can get out of the weather while unloading sporting gear. An attached two-car garage has extra-long space for a larger truck. This garage has a propane heater with a thermostat. A detached garage/shop stores more vehicles and toys and provides a heated space for work. There is electric baseboard heat, thermostatically-controlled, as well as an overhead fan and a wood-burning stove. There is even a covered space behind this building if you have a fishing boat or something else to stash. Guests can park under the pole barn with their RV and have easy hook-ups with water, sewer, and electricity. There is also a shed for extra storage. The circular drive makes everything easy and convenient. Both spring-fed ponds are kept fresh via solar panel-enabled aerators. There are water rights for fish & wildlife and lawn and garden, but the current owners find that the land stays fine without irrigation and they simply mow the grass once in a while. Horse lovers and all animal lovers, please note that the land has been painstakingly cared for without weed killer or pesticides, for the health of all. The property is perimeter-fenced on 3 sides, and the land backs to a large ranch so that it feels very private. One can wander the wooded hillside to a large meadow to enjoy the magnificent views of the Sapphire Mountains and Warren Peak, as well. There are many options for delightful four-season recreation with thousands of acres of public lands nearby, and just 3 miles to the East Fork Reservoir for superb fishing and water sports. 30 minutes away is renowned Georgetown Lake for more great fishing and water sports or winter fun at Discovery Ski and so much more. The quaint and historic mining town of Philipsburg is a 20 minute drive for groceries, restaurants, shopping, brewery, candy store (the world-famous Sweet Palace), gem mining, theater, and supplies. Simply amazing. Is this your Montana Dream?
