Welcome to Western Montana! Let’s look into the remodel that occurred 2021: The wood beams you see between the rooms throughout the house were originally the railroad crossing in Frenchtown. They were untreated timbers; they were hand planed and refinished for the remodel. The countertops in the kitchen were also custom made from the same beams, stained and sealed professionally with food grade sealant providing a beautiful and durable surface with a unique story. The floors in the living room and master bathroom are the original hardwood floors from the early 1900s; refinished by hand and coated professionally to last for generations to come. Plumbing and electrical were updated in 2021 as well, with a top of the line water treatment system that is easy to maintain along with a Rinnai endless water heater. There is an approved septic site to the North of where the house sits where the horses are currently. Do not enter the fields with livestock. The driveway, just North of the shop is a bridge that leads across the ditch to the area by Mill Creek. This is the Sellers’ favorite feature of the property! It very, very rarely freezes and provides fresh live water year around. The original barn from the early 1900’s which still works as great storage. The slough is also live, moving water and remains open most of the year making the property ideal for livestock. The irrigation ditch offers opportunity to irrigate the yard and lower pasture without using the well. The shop has a full concrete floor and is well insulated with an efficient propane heater professionally installed. The carport has a new roof as of 2022. The possibility of additional acreage is possible. Please reach out to listing agent for details. Welcome to Western Montana!
