If your idea of the good life includes fresh eggs from your backyard, vegetables straight from the garden, and evenings gathered around the fire, this 1.42-acre property just outside Missoula deserves a look. There's room to spread out and space to embrace a more rural lifestyle-without giving up the convenience of being close to town. The property is already set up for enjoying the best of Montana living, with a fenced garden area, greenhouse for getting a jump-start on the growing season, chicken coop for your own flock, and established apple and plum trees. A new deck and concrete patio with pergola create inviting outdoor spaces for morning coffee, summer dinners, or relaxing at the end of the day, while the fire pit is ready for cool Montana evenings. Inside, the 4 BD/2BA home is comfortable and functional split across two levels, with two bedrooms and a full bath on the main floor, and two more bedrooms plus a second living area with a cozy gas stove downstairs. The kitchen has been nicely refreshed with granite counters, tile backsplash, and updated stainless appliances. New garage and front doors and a newer washer/dryer round out the practical updates. If you're looking for room for a garden, a few animals, outdoor projects, and the freedom to enjoy a little more space-all while staying close to Missoula-this could be the perfect fit. Priced to sell at $599,000. Schedule your showing today!
