4br/4ba 3000ft2 home on 2 gorgeous acres, full of flowers, trees & birds!

Description

This 4bd/4bath home and property was designed and built by a bird biologist--a 30-year act of love. And bought by another wildlife biologist. The land is designed to provide habitat and food sources for a diversity of Montana birds in every season. There are pollinator gardens, herb gardens, berries, crabapples, ponds, glittery rock pathways, and beautiful new flowers popping up every week. Lots of bird houses, feeders, bird baths, bat houses, an owl house (squirrel-occupied), happy, friendly deer, and sometimes "Mommy Fox". The house has a large loft (office space) and 2 upstairs bedrooms/bathroom, a main floor bedroom/bath, open floor plan with deck (our "French cafe" surrounded by trees), and a bedroom/bath on the lower floor. There is an 8-person low-chlorine (ozone) hot tub off the screened-in porch. At night, the yard is full of lanterns and fairy lights. A couple times per year the group of Miller Creek free ranging horses will come enjoy the pasture in the side yard. You feel like you are in the wilderness but it's 3 minutes to Brooks (Hwy93). The neighborhood is lovely, many people who've been there for decades and look out for one another. The house has all the amenities. Granite countertops, glass top range with multi function convention oven, Rancillio espresso maker, Keurig coffee maker, large microwave, reverse osmosis drinking water, Miele dishwasher, Ring doorbell, wifi thermostats, 2 large refrigerator/freezers plus another large freezer downstairs. There is a dog door out to the huge fenced yard, which you can close if not wanted. 3 bedrooms have French doors onto balconies with sitting areas overlooking the gardens. French doors from the living room and the dining room lead on to the deck with swing, chairs and tables. Fire pit in the back yard with swing and Adirondack chairs. There is high speed Internet and wifi through Spectrum. Besides the boiler, there is a large mini split air conditioner and furnace which is very energy efficient. You don't have to worry about turning on air conditioning, although the trees keep the house fairly cool. The Den restaurant and coffee shop is just at the top of the hill. The living room has double French doors looking out on gardens and a cedar cathedral ceiling. We are looking for a family who will care for this house and property and immediately inform us of any maintenance or repair needs. It is vital to keep the gates in the deer fence closed! Twice monthly visits by a master gardener to take care of the landscaping is included. No pesticides or chemicals are used on the land.
