The basement adds extra roominess and storage. A complete RV hookup and 2nd septic approval creates even more flexibility for guests or other creative living possibilities. The 20 acres are well suited for horses, livestock, or a small hobby farm, with fenced and cross-fenced acreage and multiple useful outbuildings, including loafing sheds, a tack room, and additional storage and agricultural spaces. This property offers the increasingly hard-to-find combination of usable acreage, livestock facilities, water, and the character of a Montana farmhouse, all in a peaceful rural setting and natural beauty of the acreage. Nature enthusiasts will love the expanded outdoor recreation close at hand, with the Clark Fork River and Lolo National Forest nearby, providing outstanding year-around opportunities for fishing, hunting, hiking, off road or horseback riding, and year-round recreation.

Welcome to Western Montana! Let’s look into the remodel that occurred 2021: The wood beams you see between the rooms throughout the house were originally the railroad crossing in Frenchtown. They were untreated timbers; they were hand planed and refinished for the remodel. The countertops in the kitchen were also custom made from the same beams, stained and sealed professionally with food grade sealant providing a beautiful and durable surface with a unique story. The floors in the living room and master bathroom are the original hardwood floors from the early 1900s; refinished by hand and coated professionally to last for generations to come. Plumbing and electrical were updated in 2021 as well, with a top of the line water treatment system that is easy to maintain along with a Rinnai endless water heater. There is an approved septic site to the North of where the house sits where the horses are currently. Do not enter the fields with livestock. The driveway, just North of the shop is a bridge that leads across the ditch to the area by Mill Creek. This is the Sellers’ favorite feature of the property! It very, very rarely freezes and provides fresh live water year around. The original barn from the early 1900’s which still works as great storage. The slough is also live, moving water and remains open most of the year making the property ideal for livestock. The irrigation ditch offers opportunity to irrigate the yard and lower pasture without using the well. The shop has a full concrete floor and is well insulated with an efficient propane heater professionally installed. The carport has a new roof as of 2022. The possibility of additional acreage is possible. Please reach out to listing agent for details. Welcome to Western Montana!

The river offers recreation such as floating, rafting, kayaking, and river surfing in addition to its epic fishing. The best fishing waters are found between the origin and the confluence with the Flathead River near the Paradise-Plains area.

National Historic Site: Just a few miles down the road the Ninemile Historic Remount Depot introduces the public to the historic and working ranger station. The visitor center describes how firefighters sought to find a solution to putting out damaging fires deep in the backcountry in the 1920s and 1940s. Pack animals such as mules were utilized and the Ninemile property was set up to supply pack stock and train packers. In 1980, the Ranger Station and Depot were listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Presently, the horses and mules continue to ply the mountain trails transporting people and equipment necessary for managing our wilderness and backcountry resources. The depot was modeled after those used by the US Army that supplied troops with fresh horses in the Old West. “Ride the Hiawatha”: In just over an hour’s drive, bike, or hike this trail named one of the most scenic stretches of railroad in the US.
