488 Feet of Nez Perce Frontage! Wake up to the sound of the river and step out onto the deck with your morning coffee. This 1,392 sq ft, 4-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on 488' of pristine Nez Perce frontage with year-round access on the paved portion of Nez Perce Rd, offering enough space to live here full time or to gather seasonally for unforgettable memories. The main level features a great room opening onto two decks overlooking the water, bringing the living room, dining room and kitchen together in one open space. There's also a nice size mudroom, two bedrooms and a bathroom with tub. Upstairs you'll find two more bedrooms, a cozy nook perfect for reading or a small office, and a bathroom with shower. Outside, a circular driveway with two gated entrances makes coming and going easy with trailers and toys. The garage/workshop is ready for projects and gear, and a separate storage shed keeps everything else organized. There's a picnic table by the water for riverside lunches and summer snacks. Cast a line right from your own riverbank, then explore everything the Magruder Corridor, West Fork and the Bitterroot have to offer: horseback riding, hiking, biking, rafting, lake days, snowmobiling, hunting and endless national forest access. When the day winds down, the decks are made for relaxing and watching the wildlife pass by. Room to spread out, easy to manage, and just a scenic 15-minute drive to the full-service western town of Darby. Septic system was installed prior to the requirement of permits. The seller had the septic pumped and cleaned in 2025 and provided a pumper report stating the system is working order at that time. Well water rights. See documents provided.
