This home has five legal bedrooms and three full baths, living room, dining room, kitchen, a nice pantry, a laundry room, and two car garage.

     

There is a small log cabin on the property situated in the trees that is used for storage or can be a playhouse.

Home layout. Country farm house on three levels. Upstairs you will find, two bedrooms, one on either end of the home connected by a catwalk. Each bedroom has a window, sky lite and closet. On the main level there is the living room, dining room, kitchen (with large window and sky lite), pantry, laundry room (with window), full bathroom and the master suite. The master suite is a large bedroom, plus master closet and master bathroom with large tub and separate shower. On the lower level there is a two car garage, exercise room/bedroom, full bath, office/den/bedroom.

Appliances included in the sale of the home. Kitchen range, refrigerator, dishwasher, water softener, new free standing propane heating stove.

We upgraded the main heating from a wood stove to propane heat. There are also individual electric wall heaters in most rooms that can be set to come on as desired. When plumbing the home for propane heat we added outlets for the garage, an emergency generator, and for grilling on the new deck.

     

We added a new 12'x28' deck across the back of the home. This deck is built with footers below the frost line, very solid construction and will last for many years. At the same time we built the deck we added a full atrium door with side windows entering into the dining room from the deck.

Flower gardens; there are four flower garden beds. Three are located in the front of the home and one on the side of the home. The current deer fencing in the front of the home is removable and may be replaced with permanent fencing in the near future.

     

Vegetable gardens; one mature 38'x20' fenced garden with eight raised beds that is producing or has produced carrots, mustard greens, onions (3 kinds), garlic, tomatoes (2 kinds), potatoes (3 kinds). A second 55'x75' garden with seven raised beds is producing potatoes and bush beans. There are 30 yards of top soil in place for 25 more garden beds. We plan to add the 25 beds in the spring of 2009. In addition we may erect two greenhouses in the spring. One will be 10x10x8 feet high. The other will be approximately 20x48x12 feet high.

This property has no covenants or restrictions. The pasture is fully fenced. The well is 240 feet deep and produces about 30 gallons per minute. We have watered the lawn, gardens and pasture all day and have not experienced a drop in water pressure. In Montana you own the water right to your well and the water right transfers with the sale of the home. For in house use the well is filtered for normal sediment and there is a water softener.

Parking for many vehicles.
