Introducing a rare opportunity to create a true Montana legacy property on the banks of year-round Lolo Creek. Situated on 4.57 breathtaking acres with approximately 360 feet of pristine creek frontage, this offering combines luxury new construction potential with immediate live/work functionality in one of Western Montana’s most sought-after settings. Planned for the property is a beautifully designed 1,856 sq ft custom home featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, clean modern architecture, oversized garage space, and thoughtfully designed indoor/outdoor living that embraces the surrounding mountain views, mature trees, and peaceful creekfront setting. The proposed home perfectly complements the landscape and creates an elevated yet comfortable Montana lifestyle experience. Even more valuable—the groundwork has already been done. The homesite is prepped and ready to dig, with utilities already stubbed in and infrastructure in place, allowing buyers to move directly into the building process without the delays, uncertainty, and expense that often come with preparing raw land. What sets this property apart is the existing 5,000 sq ft barndominium-style residence and heated shop already in place. Offering comfortable living quarters, radiant floor heat, oversized garage bays, workshop space, dual-voltage power, soaring ceilings, and extensive storage, the current structure allows owners to immediately enjoy the property while the new residence is constructed. The property also features a secure safe room accessed through a solid vault door, complete with built-in safes, epoxy flooring, granite work surfaces, and an additional upper-level flex space ideal for a workout room, gear storage, or private retreat. Adding even greater value, the owner is also the builder—bringing firsthand knowledge of the property, infrastructure, utilities, site preparation, and future build process. Thoughtfully developed with careful attention to functionality, quality, and long-term vision, this creates a rare opportunity for buyers to work directly with someone deeply familiar with every aspect of the property and envisioned expansion. Upon completion, the barn dominium creates exceptional flexibility for guest quarters, recreational storage, hobby space, multi-generational living, rental potential, or an incredible recreational headquarters. Lolo Creek flows directly through the property and is known for Brown, Rainbow, Brook, and Cutthroat trout, creating an unmatched fly-fishing experience just steps from your door. Mature pines, aspens, cottonwoods, manicured landscaping, fruit trees, irrigation rights, wildlife activity, and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces further elevate the setting. Wildlife is abundant throughout the property and surrounding creek corridor, with frequent visits from elk, whitetail and mule deer, wild turkeys, bald eagles, black bears, and countless native birds and wildlife species that truly capture the essence of Montana living. Additional features include: • Approximately 360 ft of year-round Lolo Creek frontage • 12.5 acre-feet of irrigation rights • Utilities and infrastructure already in place for future expansion • Valve box with valves installed for future underground irrigation expansion • Upper storage/shop building with heated bay • Garden space, chicken coop, and mature landscaping • Paved access with privacy just minutes from Missoula Whether envisioned as a luxury full-time residence, Montana retreat, family compound, or 1031 exchange opportunity, this property offers a combination of water, land, flexibility, craftsmanship, and future vision that is exceptionally difficult to replicate in today’s market. A truly rare Western Montana offering where the hardest work has already been completed—simply bring the vision to life.
