Get ready to be mesmerized by the breathtaking views from this estate in NW Montana which includes two homes and almost 30 acres of forested wilderness. The main home, finished in 2024, boasts over 5500 SF of rustic luxury, featuring hand-peeled beams, a rock fireplace, custom iron railings, aspen T&G ceilings, rich hickory flooring, and expansive windows showcasing the towering mountains. The chef's kitchen is a dream, equipped with luxury Italian appliances, hidden walk-in pantry, gleaming quartz countertops, custom alder cabinetry, and a built-in Miele espresso machine. The main floor primary suite includes a jetted tub positioned beneath windows to take full advantage of the surrounding views and privacy. Additionally, the main floor comprises an additional bedroom, full bath, mudroom, and laundry, as well as an 1100+ SF wrap-around deck. Descending to the lower level, a spacious family room awaits, complete with double doors leading to the covered patio, lawn, and firepit area. There's a second, well-appointed kitchen, two more bedrooms, two bathrooms, a utility room, and in true Montana style, even a game-processing/canning room. If that's not enough, walk to the top level of this house to the bonus space with a wet bar, built with windows all around to experience the breathtaking view. Finally, this gorgeous home has a 1250 sq. ft. three-car attached garage with large overhead doors, as well as a 350 sq. ft. unfinished storage area above. This estate property also contains a second home built in 2019. This darling 1150 sq. ft. two-bedroom, one-bath home with a cozy woodstove and an oversized attached two-car garage is currently being used as a successful short-term rental. Between the two homes, you will find a fenced 130'x55' garden with blueberries, raspberries, raised garden beds, and an orchard containing apple, cherry, pear, and peach trees. There is a backup generator installed that is large enough to power both houses. Feel like you are on top of the world on this Montana estate, yet enjoy easy year-round access just minutes from all the conveniences you need. There are plenty of recreation opportunities nearby as well, with the Cabinet Mountain Wilderness, Lake Koocanusa, Kootenai Falls, Ross Creek Cedars, and even Glacier National Park within easy driving distance.
