About this property

Welcome to Buck's Haven, a custom home on 20.02 acres just outside Fortine in the Tobacco Valley of Northwest Montana. Built in 2018, this thoughtfully designed property combines modern construction, quality horse amenities, and convenient access to year-round recreation. A gated entrance leads to the home along a gravel driveway. Timber-frame accents, stonework, covered porches, and established landscaping complement the surrounding meadows and mature trees, while expansive windows frame mountain views and fill the home with natural light. The open floor plan features vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings with exposed beams, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a wood-burning insert, and seamless flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas. The kitchen offers granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a Technogas Superiore gas cooktop, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and a large island. The home includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a loft overlooking the main living area that can serve as a third bedroom, office, or additional living space. The primary suite features a walk-in closet and adjoining flex room suitable for an office, hobby room, or exercise space. Covered porches provide inviting outdoor living areas with mountain views. A Hunter sprinkler system and drip irrigation serve the landscaped lawn and aspen trees. Equestrian improvements include two smooth-strand fenced pastures with automatic livestock waterers. An oversized detached garage and shop provide ample space for vehicles, equipment, tack, tools, and recreational gear. Additional features include central air conditioning, forced-air propane heat, private well, septic system, water softener, leased propane tank, and access to electric, telephone, fiber optic internet, and Verizon wireless service. The property offers convenient access to thousands of acres of Kootenai National Forest via Eagle Lake Loop, providing opportunities for horseback riding, hiking, hunting, and wildlife viewing. Elk, whitetail deer, wild turkeys, and other wildlife are commonly seen throughout the area.
