Unique indeed, this wooded 6.01 acres with 306 feet of Kootenai River frontage is just 1.5 miles from Troy, Montana. A cedar-sided guest house sits atop a 1,600 square foot garage which provides terrific space for storing all those toys you’ll need to fully enjoy the river and the nearby National Forest.
Utilities and services include 400 amps of electrical power, a well, a septic system, propane, 3 telephone lines, DSL, and satellite TV. From the County Road (which is serviced year-round) a paved road departs down the hill to a landscaped guest house. From there, a gravel road meanders down to a very private home-site overlooking the Kootenai River at its confluence with Lake Creek.
A small pond near the home-site could be incorporated into the landscaping and would be a great spot for winter ice skating.
Perched on a hillside overlooking the river, the guest house can be a perfect spot for your guests to stay after you complete the construction of your dream cabin down on the river below. The guest house has one bedroom, one bath, a downstairs office, and a large kitchen/greatroom with a high vaulted ceiling and large picture windows which offer grand views of the river and nearby mountain peaks. The house is equipped with a freestanding, wood burning fireplace, a Rennai LP heater, and electric wall heaters. It has an air conditioning unit for those hot summer days. The garage is heated with a ceiling mounted, forced-air propane heater. A hot tub pad site sits beneath the upper deck permitting you to sip a beverage while gazing quietly at the deer feeding in the clearing below.
A 768 square foot garden with 8 foot high, deer-proof fencing sits near the guest house along with a small, quaint garden house for storing all those garden tools.
This property is unique – a “must see” if you are looking for a mountain get-away, close to town, near the national forest, yet beautifully private. Call or email to schedule an appointment to tour this special piece of paradise.
