Discover your serene country escape with endless possibilities -- free from covenants! Nestled on 1.3 acres across two lots in the outskirts of Manhattan, Montana, this charming oasis offers tranquility, convenience, and freedom. There are 3 bedrooms, a spacious living area, and an additional versatile space (den, office, family room?) The expansive mudroom/laundry room welcomes you to your new mini-farm lifestyle. Major updates include a newer roof, vinyl windows, metal siding, and a septic system installed in 2020. The rustic, unfinished basement provides ample storage for your essentials. The 1.3 acres are fenced and cross fenced, offering great space for farm animals and features a seasonal ditch for water. The open lot to the east is separately deeded. Build a shop or barn, or with the expansion of the existing septic system, you could possibly even build your dream barndominium or guest house (with County approval, of course!) Enjoy the ease of underground sprinklers and lush landscaping in the fully fenced yard, and a relaxing cement patio with stunning views! The proximity to the Gallatin River means fishing, hiking, and fun activities are just steps away. Bike or walk on the paved path that runs in front of the house, taking you into Manhattan less than a mile away, or to the river (about a mile away). All this, only 20 minutes from Bozeman-Yellowstone International Airport and 30 minutes from Bozeman's culture and amenities!
