Surround yourself with outdoor recreation and come home to relax in comfort with this 4-bedroom, 4-bath home with three finished levels outside of Polaris. This 3,300 +/- sq. ft. home built in 1995 is located in the heart of Grasshopper Valley and Beaverhead National Forest. The multiple decks on the home offer extensive views in all directions showing off multiple mountain ranges as well as the Maverick Ski Hill just minutes away. Just off of the Pioneer Mountains National Scenic Byway, this home has easy access to blue-ribbon trout fishing, skiing, hiking, snowmobiling, and even hot springs to relax in after a day of adventure.
Approximately 35 minutes west of Dillon and 90 minutes southwest of Butte, this property sits in the Torrey Mountain subdivision and adjoins state and National Forest service land. This gives the owners unique access to thousands of acres of public land. The Torrey Mountain subdivision provides a small grocery store, two trout-fishing ponds for kids, and a commons area with mature aspens. There are covenants and the homeowners association provides snow plowing of the roads throughout the winter. Four-wheel drive is recommended for winter driving. Association dues are approximately $180 per year. This creates a community feel within the wilderness area, with homes on 1+/- to 3+/- acres. Three separate lodges in the immediate area have restaurants for Montana-style dining. Moose, mule deer, elk, sand hill cranes, eagles, hawks, hummingbirds, and other songbirds are often sighted on the property. Bear and wolf tracks have also been discovered in the area.
There are four bedrooms in the home, one bedroom on each level plus the master bedroom on the main level. Each has its own full bathroom. The master bedroom has a private deck with French doors, vaulted ceilings, and a large bathroom with a separate soaking tub and double shower. The dining room features large south-facing windows plus access to the back deck. Each level has an open great room and the upper-level open space would make a terrific office. There is also a separate laundry room on the lower level.
The large kitchen is on the main level with tiled counters and extra storage space, opening up to the dining room and living room. The living room has windows facing the mountains and ski area and a wood stove to keep the house cozy. Gas forced air also heats the home. The propane tank is leased and located on the northern end of the property.
The exterior is cedar-sided and features two decks as well as a front and back patio. The interior is highlighted by an abundance of wood floors, solid core doors, trim, and large double-paned wood-framed windows. The house is surrounded by aspen trees and large boulders, and views from all rooms incorporate mountain views. The heated garage includes a work area, a furnace/storage room, and an inside dog kennel connected to the outside fenced-yard area behind the house.
This home is currently used as a vacation rental and rents for between $1695 and $1895 per week. The airport in Butte is about one-and-a-half hours away. Dillon is a 40+/--minute drive from the home. A drive to Yellowstone National Park is about 3+/- hours away.
