Location! Location! Location! If you would like to be surrounded by Amazing Forests but yet only 8 miles to Interstate 90 and 25 miles from Missoula, please read further.

Magnificent custom built 4,000 sq. ft. log cabin on 40 acres. It boasts 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, huge loft, office, media room/family room, and a beautiful kitchen. There is also a wood burning fireplace on the main floor and a soap stone wood burning stove in the walkout basement.

The outside has a two car oversized garage, generator building with wood storage on the side, and fully fenced. The property has a large pasture area and it has two unique tax ids per each 20 acres. You will notice that you are surrounded by abundance of space and privacy. Take a step out on the deck. Take a deep breath of the crisp, pure, mountain air and plan your daily adventures.

Just 25 miles from Missoula, an active town with access to theater, restaurants, events, and shopping, your home feels as remote as you could want but is still close to amenities. The house is made of dozens of 18-25 inch logs, professionally chinked and sealed, inside and out. A custom log deck, railed with unique, naturally shaped beams, takes full advantage of the mountain vista spread out before it. The house is surrounded by spectacular rock work: expansive rock walkways and stairs. There is a fire pit at the end of the upper yard for roasting marshmallows or just relaxing by the fire.

There are 3 natural springs on the land, a creek, and the water is provided by a private well. Water pressure is great, water is abundant at all times, and it taste pure and delicious. The house is outfitted with complete solar system, producing all its own electricity with 8-100 watt solar panels, a 450 watt wind generator and a 15,000 watt backup generator. This is off-grid living at its finest. All of the comforts of modern life with a top of the line electrical system, all electricity is produced by you. No electric bills. You will run a few appliances off propane; there is a large tank on the property. It runs the generator and provide alternative heating with a built in propane central heating system for the house, if you ever don't want to go with wood. The beauty of this system is that the solar and wind charge the batteries. A mechanical monitor watches to make sure that they stay charged, and if the batteries ever get low, it kicks on the generator automatically to keep the batteries charged. Basically, you flip a light switch and you get light.

New generator, on demand hot water heater, flooring (kitchen, entry, dining, living room, hall and master bedroom), propane 5-burner stove, and granite counter tops the summer of 2010.
