465 Larch Lane, Victor

A 2,916 square foot 3 Bed/3 Bath contemporary split level home on 11.29 acres. With elegant angles, demure sleet grey siding, and a blushing red roof, this delicately dignified home seems almost out of place in the rugged Montana countryside. However, as you step through the front door the façade falls away, and it can be plainly seen that this home is as Montanan as it gets. Powerful log braces, rich hardwood paneling, prominent stone fireplaces, resilient granite countertops, this home has a natural warmth and strength of character that belies its austere outer appearances.

A few brief steps lead from the front landing to the main floor of the home. The main floor has a large open floor plan, connecting the living room to the dining room and finally culminating in the pièce de résistance of the gorgeous modern kitchen. With an expansive kitchen window to provide a tranquil view and filled with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, exquisite cabinetry, a butler’s pantry, and a breakfast counter, this gourmet kitchen leaves nothing to be desired.

Up the stairs lies the master bedroom featuring a walk-in closet and spacious master bathroom with his and her sinks. An antique clawfoot tub rests under the broad bathroom window, allowing a chance to soak in peace while still enjoying the views of nature. On cold winter nights the corner fireplace springs to life with a convenient push of a button, and on warm summer’s eves, the personal patio provides a cozy spot to gaze at a sky impossible to see from any city.

Stepping outside the home onto the large connected patio, the view is, quite simply, picturesque; immaculately groomed lawns leading into the wild forests, tranquil waters stretching into a vast clear pond, songbirds whistling through the trees, deer grazing amongst the wildflowers. And the best part? This beauty is something that can be seen every day from every room in the home.

While located in the idyllic countryside, this home is also surrounded by outdoor attractions. The property is an easy drive away from Lost Mountain for skiing and snowboarding, a bare mile from the Bitterroot River for fishing and rafting, and a short walk from forest trails for hiking and exploring. While the allure of the Montanan outdoors is sure to keep your attention close to home, if the urge to travel should strike, both Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks are well within driving distance and the airport of Missoula is a short 40 minutes away.
