3100 Emma Gulch Trail

This is a generational property, unique in all that it has to offer. The property consists of 110 acres in six parcels, bounded on two sides by US Forest Service land that does not have a nearby public access point. The land is sloped, with benches covered in wild flowers, and beautifully timbered. The property is zoned AGW 40 (1 home/40 acres) and has no covenants - just lots of wildlife sharing this beautiful place. Located just 7 miles up Deep Creek Road, there are no private parcels accessed beyond the road to this property. And despite the incredible privacy and acreage, Deep Creek Road is a county-maintained road providing year-round access and even school bus service to the Target Range School District in Missoula. The 2 bed/1.5 bath home on the property was lovingly constructed by the current owners using green construction techniques and a variety of re-purposed materials. The home is efficiently designed to feel larger than its 1976 square feet. The main level, anchored by a cozy wood-burning stove, includes the beautiful great room with double-height ceilings and large windows to bring the outdoors in. There is also a bedroom on the main level, a full bath, and a welcoming sun room that provides passive solar heat in the winter, and a great space for enjoying the views all summer. Upstairs, the open loft area provides additional gathering space, and the second bedroom includes a hidden loft perfect for writing, reading or maybe scoring the hide-and-seek win. There is a half-bath on this level that has been plumbed for an additional shower. The home also features a wrap-around porch where those who sit very still will enjoy the company of a charm of humming birds. The multi-level garden has drip-irrigation and can produce plenty of food for the root cellar located just next to the over-sized, detached garage featuring charred Japanese cypress siding. At night, tuck in around the fire pit and when the fire dies, enjoy the stars from the hot tub. If a larger home is one day a necessity, the potential building sites on this property will satisfy the most discerning. This is truly a Montana paradise.
