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. The current owners have never used pesticides or herbicides for the health of all creatures. Enjoy the wooded hillsides, open meadows, gorgeous views of the Sapphire Mountains and even Warren Peak. Bordered by a large ranch and perimeter-fenced on 3 sides, the land is very private. Just 3 miles from the East Fork Reservoir, 30 minutes from Georgetown Lake and 20 minutes to the quaint and historic town of Philipsburg for restaurants and shopping.
