143 Joe Abbey Lane, Darby, MT 59829

Property Description

Just outside the charming town of Darby, this 1.48-acre property is a blank canvas for your hobby farm or homestead. Snuggled up to the Little Dipper Ranch, with a peek-a-boo view of Trapper Peak and Tin Cup Creek, it's a place with history. There's a 1959 trailer home brought on to the family property which was carved from a larger parcel. A well-built house addition wraps around the trailer home with a spacious entry/mud room and a large living area that hosted countless evenings of music and gathering with friends, plus a comfortable primary bedroom. Plans to remove the trailer home never came to fruition and it remains blended right into the home, with openings seamlessly connecting the two. Today it holds a freshly updated kitchen with new cabinets, a full bath, laundry, and a cozy little bedroom of its own. Live in the existing home as long as you like, remove the trailer and finish the home or build your dream house on this expansive property. The property also features a historic dry cabin, once a rental, full of character and ready for a second life as storage, a workshop, or a creative retreat, along with numerous outbuildings offering plenty of room for equipment, animals, or hobby space. The possibilities here are endless. The location is truly a peaceful oasis. You're minutes from Darby's Main Street for an ice cream on a summer evening or a stroll through the farmers market, and close to the Bitterroot River for blue-ribbon trout fishing, as well as near endless trailheads into the Bitterroot National Forest, Como and Painted Rock Lakes and Lost Trail Powder Mountain for winter turns. This is the quiet, peaceful version of the Bitterroot Valley you are looking for. This is an Estate sale, offered as-is, and a 75% LTV loan structured like a land loan is one option available for financing also a construction loan is a viable lending option.
