Tucked along the year-round waters of Petty Creek, this one-of-a-kind Montana estate offers a rare combination of craftsmanship, privacy, and true creekfront living—just 20 minutes from Missoula. Built by the owner and his son using timber sourced directly from the property, this home is a testament to legacy, skill, and intentional design. Every detail reflects the hand of a master craftsman - custom cabinetry, trim, and woodwork throughout were meticulously created by the owner, a professional cabinet maker. The 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is thoughtfully designed for comfort and flexibility, featuring two en-suite bedrooms, ideal for hosting guests or multi-generational living. Access to the second floor of the home has been made easier with the addition of a motorized chair lift. This beautiful property is fenced and the owners had horses for many years. There's a horse tack shed, storage shed, implement shed and an underground sprinkler system. The abundance of wildlife is amazing to see and hear. Step outside and experience what truly sets this property apart: Petty Creek flows year-round through your backyard, offering the rare ability to fish for trout just steps from your door. The owner built a creekside gazebo and permanent outdoor benches, as well as added electricity to the area - 110V and 220V - so someone can plug in an RV. There's also a perfectly crafted horseshoe pit that you'll want to enjoy. You'll appreciate that Lolo National Forest borders your land. Also, no HOA or Covenants - you can live how you want to live. Additional features include a 36’ x 30’ shop - perfect for hobbies, storage or workspace; metal roofs on both home and shop for durability and low maintenance; private, wooded setting with unmatched Montana character; easy access from I-90 while maintaining total seclusion. This is more than a home - it’s a legacy property, built with intention and meant to be experienced.
