Discover a rare Northwest Montana retreat where usable land, water, privacy & recreation take center stage. Set on 5.78 acres off a county maintained road & school bus route, the property offers predominantly flat, highly usable ground-an uncommon find in the mountains. Much of the acreage remains open & unused, with nearly 2 wooded acres, 1.5-acre fenced horse pasture, an established garden, multiple outbuildings, & room for animals, recreation, or future projects. Desirable Pinkham Creek flows year-round through the property, offering 400 +/- feet of frontage with ownership on both sides of the creek, plus an excellent swimming & fishing hole beneath the bridge. National Forest borders two sides, a nearby horseback trail is directly accessible from the property for miles of riding without trailering. Pinkham Falls, McGuire Mountain Lookout, abundant hiking, hunting, fishing, & outdoor recreation are also nearby. With no covenants, the property offers the freedom to enjoy the acreage as you choose. The property includes a private well & gravity-fed spring with two water rights, plus a 40' x 60' insulated shop with wood heat that provides space for vehicles, recreational equipment, projects, or storage. The updated 1,984-square-foot home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. The home's interior combines rustic Montana charm with thoughtful updates. Vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings with exposed beams create an impressive great room filled with natural light, while the cozy stove provides the perfect gathering place after a day outdoors. The open living & dining areas flow seamlessly into the kitchen. Updated flooring, refreshed finishes, and a beautifully remodeled bathroom featuring a freestanding soaking tub & custom vanity add modern comfort while maintaining the home's warm character. An attic above the kitchen provides additional storage. This exceptional property is well suited for a full-time residence, horse property, homestead, or recreational getaway.
