There are special properties, tucked away from the wind, where the gentle sounds of a creek flow beneath towering cottonwoods, with views of the Elkhorn Mountains rising in the distance. It's here, on 10+ beautiful acres along Spokane Creek, that you'll find this custom modern farmhouse. Built in 2016, the home welcomes you with a covered front porch. Inside, a two-story great room, rough-sawn Douglas fir floors, and abundant natural light create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The spacious kitchen flows into the dining and living areas, centered around a Helena brick fireplace with a mantel crafted from a downed tree on the property. Granite countertops, a fireclay farmhouse sink, greenhouse window, and generous storage complement the kitchen. Custom touches include sliding barn doors and a charming reading nook beneath the staircase. 5 bedrooms and 2.5 a half bathrooms include a main-level primary suite with a walk-in closet, double vanities, glass-tiled shower, and an antique cast-iron soaking tub, straight from the brothels of Butte! A farmhouse laundry room and mudroom connects to the attached 3 car garage. French doors open to the covered back porch and yard filled with country charm. Chickens, a fenced garden, fruit trees, quaking aspens, Ponderosa pines, and established landscaping create a wonderful outdoor retreat. Great horned owls call the property home, while bald eagles, great blue herons, and deer frequent the creek and surrounding landscape. Fenced/cross-fenced acreage offers room for animals. Spokane Creek winds through the property, and the hillside makes a perfect winter sledding hill! Gather around the fire pit on summer evenings, enjoy the stars from the hot tub, or take in the mountain views from the porch. With creek frontage, water rights, Canyon Ferry Lake just 5 miles away, and Helena only 10 miles from home, this is a place to slow down, settle in, and enjoy all the little things that make Montana country living so special.
