The essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson, once stated, "Adopt the pace of nature; her secret is patience." There's much wisdom to be realized within that quietly urgent phrase, so much so that it would be time well spent to put them into practice by leaving the urban confines in your rear view mirror and taking a relaxing drive on a scenic 2-lane road to the north entrance of El Capitan Loop, where the Ponderosa Pines touch the sky, and where you're going to get reacquainted with yourself and what it means to call Western Montana your beloved home. Located just the right amount of space from the highway and comfortably positioned among the few neighboring properties along this stretch of county maintained paved road, there awaits the rare opportunity to acquire a quality, level, fully fenced, 1 Acre parcel that already has well and septic approval (3 Bedroom/2 Bath) in place. What's really nice about this parcel is that the towering pines are meted out nicely all along the acreage, and not clustered together. This means that you can build your dream home, barn and/or a shop without compromise and , and still enjoy the beauty of your sylvan setting. There's even a flank of Poplars along the western border, which provides a natural, maturing, "green screen" of privacy during the temperate months. Perhaps the very best part of acreage is that you can witness the august beauty of the Bitterroot Mountains year-round; their craggy silhouettes ever changing with the light and the seasons. Given that it's getting increasingly difficult to find any smaller parcels that are not attached to a subdivision in the Bitterroot Valley, this rare and altogether gorgeous , stand-alone1-Acre parcel, is a peerless standout, and worthy of your discerning consideration. The location of this offering is paramount, as it's just a few miles to the Fishing Access of the Bitterroot River to the north and to the community of Florence, where you'll find the best pie in Western Montana at a wonderful, old fashioned country cafe. A quick 8-mile drive south will find you in Montana's oldest incorporated town of Stevensville that offers a delightful mix of Cafes, Antique Shops, Boutiques, and more! Start living living life as Emerson advised, by adopting a slower pace and leaning into the patience that will be so beautifully rewarded as you build your future in the scenic Bitterroot Valley on a sweet stretch of road that is El Capitan Loop.
