A ranch to set your spirit free, this property features 212 acres of varied meadow, forest, pond, hills, and cliffs with nesting eagles, all graced with the Sleeping Child Creek running through it. The 5,954 square foot, four bedroom Western home offers a cedar-paneled canvas on which to paint your own Montana legacy. A custom historical marvel, the ranch features ample skylights and picture windows of the Bitterroot Range and Sleeping Child drainage, with 4 hand-stacked fireplaces built with river rock selected from the creek below. The main floor features a stunning vaulted ballroom to host social events, keep a voluminous personal library, or dance the night away. Your own tranquil pond, fed by the creek, has a small island and is perfect for paddleboarding or a quick swim. The property borders Forest Service land to the south, and is in the sought-after Hunting Unit 270. The property, a short drive from the lively town of Hamilton, is one of the last properties before the road ends at the Hot Springs and National Forest, so cars are few and far between. Turning off Sleeping Child Road, the house is accessed by a long, tree-lined and paved driveway that crosses the creek over a quaint bridge, leading either to a detached two car garage, or a large guest parking area. In front of the house is a grand rolling yard with a scattering of mature Douglas firs and spacious, open privacy. Endless hiking, mountain biking, and back-country recreation activities are at your doorstep: trek up your own mountain and continue on to public land, fish native Cutthroat Trout in Sleeping Child Creek, float in your personal pond, or sit in quiet contemplation on the deck or in the solarium under the wild Montana skies. This is what stories are made of! For more information, call Claire Kemp (406-531-7909), Naomi Gary (406-240-2957), or your real estate professional.
