There are places in Montana where you buy a home. And then there are places that give you the space to build an entire lifestyle around it. Welcome to Forest Hills in Florence, Montana. Created from a 185-acre legacy ranch on the west side of the Bitterroot Valley, Forest Hills is a private gated community of just 27 homesites, thoughtfully arranged on approximately five- and ten-acre parcels. Here, open land, pasture, mountain views and community riding and walking trails are part of everyday life. And at the edge of the community, Forest Hills connects directly to the 1.6-million-acre Bitterroot-Selway National Forest—putting an extraordinary amount of Montana recreation virtually outside your door. Within this setting, approximately 10 private acres offer something equally distinctive. A comfortable three-bedroom home—and an extraordinary amount of space for everything that comes with the way you live. Attached to the residence is a massive 48-by-40-foot insulated and heated shop, with ceilings reaching approximately 20 feet and three oversized garage bays, including a 14-by-14-foot door. RV… boat… vehicles… equipment… workshop… recreational toys. There is room for all of it. Radiant-floor heat extends throughout both the home and shop, complemented by a high-efficiency wood-burning fireplace in the residence and a wood-burning stove in the shop. Inside the home, vaulted living and dining spaces create an easy, comfortable atmosphere, while outside, an expansive deck and seven-person hot tub take full advantage of the mountain and valley views. Approximately five acres are fenced for horses or stock, and a separate fenced area for dogs provides convenient access directly into the shop. But the property also offers another possibility. The seller has already invested significant time and resources exploring the potential for an additional separate residence, including plans and infrastructure analysis available for the next owner to review. It creates the opportunity to enjoy the property exactly as it is today while considering what it might become tomorrow. A guest residence. A multigenerational retreat. Or simply more room for the people who matter. All subject, of course, to applicable approvals. And when it's time to leave the property, you're not leaving Montana behind. Step onto the community trail system, saddle a horse or lace up your hiking boots and head toward National Forest lands directly from Forest Hills. Close to ten acres. A remarkable heated shop. Room for horses. Potential for another residence. And direct access to an enormous expanse of Western Montana wilderness. This is more than having room to live. It's having room to live the way you want. Welcome to Ranch Ridge Lane in Forest Hills.
