Just 15 minutes to Missoula International Airport and only 20 minutes to the major shopping on Reserve St. by way of I-90 and a paved County Rd to within ½ mile of the HOA maintained cul-de-sac. This is not only a convenient location, but an ideal setting situated in the foothills at the edge of the forest, it has the advantage of being above valley inversions and in the sunshine, taking advantage of warmer winter temperatures and cooler mountain temperatures in the summer. The home is perched at the edge of the forest with the shade and forest but not deep into the trees, with a large house and attached double card garage, a friendly meadow (ideal for horse or livestock pasture) and landscaping, a variety of trees, yet retaining enough openness for views and sun. Both National Forest and State land are an easy walk away. Schools, gas, groceries, restaurant, bank, Post Office, a golf course and the Frenchtown Pond State Park, are all less than 10 minutes away.

Covered front & back porches are perfect for relaxing and enjoying a continuous wildlife show. The large South & East facing deck, with protected corner gazebo, makes for a delightful place to entertain, BBQ, or just relax in a quiet, private setting.
