Tie Chute Creek runs for nearly half a mile across the property, which also features two spring-fed ponds, two irrigation ditches, grassy pastures for horses or cattle, and a diverse mix of pine and deciduous trees, including Maples and Oaks that offer brilliant fall color. One Horse Creek flows right near the home, enhancing the natural setting. The landscape blends mature timber and open lush meadows, creating both seclusion and expansive Bitterroot Mountain views.

Natural light flows throughout, creating a warm space for entertaining and gatherings. Also included are two offices, a craft room, living room stone fireplaces, cathedral ceilings, and multiple decks. Flood irrigation water rights support hay production and wildlife friendly sustainable land use. The property includes several outbuildings: a 1,700 sq ft 3-car garage and woodworking shop with a two-bedroom, one-bath apartment above and a well house for lawn equipment. There is also a large tractor shed with shops that supported the cattle grazing, orchard and garden activities in the past. The land is perimeter and cross-fenced with jack-leg and barbed wire fencing, ideal for horses or a small cattle operation. County-maintained paved roads lead to the gravel driveway, ensuring reliable year-round access. The property spans four 20+ acre legal parcels.
