New price! This exceptional Bear Creek hideaway represents a rare opportunity to secure a legacy Montana property at a fraction of what it would cost to recreate today. With handcrafted log construction increasingly difficult to replicate, this offering is as much an investment in scarcity as it is in lifestyle. Large creek right out the door! Set along the rushing waters of Bear Creek on nearly six acres, the residence spans over 6,000 square feet of refined mountain living. Soaring vaulted ceilings, massive timber beams, and a dramatic staircase built around a natural character tree define the home's architectural significance, while expansive windows and two fireplaces create warmth, light, and year-round comfort. The main floor primary suite offers convenience and privacy, while the open kitchen and gathering spaces are designed for connection after days spent outdoors. Step beyond the doors to experience Montana at its finest - fish for trout directly from your property, or ride your ATV or OHV from the garage to nearby trailheads accessing thousands of acres of Forest Service land. A fully renovated one-bedroom creek side cabin introduces exceptional flexibility and income potential. With no covenants or restrictions, owners may operate short-term or vacation rentals, creating a unique blend of personal retreat and revenue opportunity. The detached three-car garage accommodates vehicles and recreational equipment with ease, supporting an active, all-season lifestyle. Offered fully furnished, the property is truly turnkey. Despite its peaceful seclusion, the home remains within convenient reach of Missoula International Airport and the amenities of the Bitterroot Valley - offering both accessibility and escape. For those seeking a private waterfront retreat with luxury, recreation, and income potential, this is a moment to act. Immediate occupancy. No restrictions for short term rental use. Bring your fly rod and enjoy for a lifetime with friends and family. Be sure to put this home on the list of properties that offer real water frontage! Ask the agent for list of recent upgrades to the property.
