Imagine....... owning your own self sustainable horse farm in the beautiful Biterroot Valley of Montana..... This turn of the century farmhouse has been upgraded and recently painted. As one of the original homesteads in the area it has water rights to 2 ditches, as well as flood irrigation rights for the 7 + acres of prime pasture land. I have kept my 5 Arabians here for the last 8 years and have only had to buy two ton of hay to feed one winter( when I housed a rescue horse over the winter.) 4 separately fenced pastures allow you to have a couple of sheep or goats as well.
There is an amazing heritage orchard with vigorously producing pear, apple, plum, apricot and crabapple trees. My large organic garden gave me bushels of vegetables this year.
The home is comfortable with hardwood and tile floors throughout most of it and upgraded with energy efficient windows in the main living areas. New appliances combined with antique fixtures in the kitchen make it extra homey and efficient.
Currently, there is a separate rental apt in the home with private entrance, yard, bath, kitchen area, and laundry that brings in extra income. This could be re-opened to the main house or kept as a "mother-in-law" apt or rental.
In addtion to the pasture there are plenty of aspens, alders ad cottonwoods where the deer, foxes and raccoons play. There is also a nice 3 stall barn( also holds 6 ton of hay) chicken coop, and 1/2 acre dog run with a deluxe doggy condo.
Imagine.. gazing out your window at he Bitteroot Mts and being only 15 minutes away from trails into the wilderness... Imagine being a stones throw away from world class fly fishing and an hour away from some of the best powder skiing in the country....
If you are looking for and imagining your affordable montana farm- this is it !! I really hate to leave after putting so much love and attention into the place but I am getting older and I find myself wanting to live closer to my grown children.
Thanks for looking- please contact me with any questions. I will provide more photos to serious inquiries only.
