About this property

Sitting on the east side of historic Mullan Pass on the Continental Divide is this 108 acre slice of Montana heaven with tremendous views, solitude and grandeur. It offers a beautifully constructed 5,000+ square foot Montana style home for comfort and privacy. The property adjoins BLM land to the northwest and Forest Service land to the south. Most of the surrounding properties are under a conservation easement, but this one has no restrictions or covenants. Wildlife of all shapes and sizes traverse the property throughout the seasons. Elk are common and deer visit daily. Bears, moose, and the occasional mountain lion wander through. There is a resident covey of grouse and abundant small game and "watchable critters." The home is warm and inviting, with granite countertops and quarter-sawn local fir flooring. It is well insulated, with casement windows throughout. Utilities include an on-demand water heater, a wood stove, water softener, and a Starlink internet system. There are four bedrooms. Two large bedrooms are upstairs, separated by a loft and a ¾ bath. The main level is fully accessible, with a flat entry from the garage, wide doorways, and a large walk-in tiled shower in the master bedroom bath. Here you'll also find a guest bedroom and bath. The large daylight basement is finished and contains a large family room or hobby area, another full bath, and a private office or non-conforming bedroom. The kitchen is large and well-appointed, with beautiful stainless appliances, an oversized island, and granite counter tops that match the rest of the house. The large windows in the great room and dining room look out over the spacious "sitting porch" to the mountains and wide open spaces. The sunrise and sunsets are spectacular here. A custom stone wood-fired pizza oven near the porch anchors the landscaping and provides a unique and delightful entertaining experience for you and your guests. The house is less than 30 minutes on a county-maintained road from the Capitol and the St. Peter's hospital complex. The large shop is fully insulated with spray foam on the walls and ceiling. It has a storage loft with a hoist, a woodstove for heat, 220V power, and a three-quarter bath with washer and dryer connections. Along the south side there is a large greenhouse with water and a temperature-controlled fan. There are two doors, 12X12 and 12X14, the latter with a chain hoist for ease of opening and closing.
