West Helena Valley, located between Helena and the Spokane Creek corridor, is a rural and residential Helena Valley West Central neighborhood with wide-open pasture views and a foothills backdrop. The neighborhood reads as big-sky Montana: long driveways, barns and outbuildings, and newer homes set on larger parcels. The character concentrates around the US-12/US-287 corridor near the Spokane Creek Road area, where feed stores, equipment yards, and local service counters set a working-valley rhythm. Community pillars include the Montana Wild Education Center, the Great Northern Carousel, and the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts in nearby Helena. Daily life orbits trailheads, fishing access, and the steady presence of the mountains on the horizon.

Remarks: This beautiful four bedroom, two bath home in the north valley is sure to please! Imagine hosting summer barbecues in the spacious yard with a great patio, fire pit and mature landscaping (with underground sprinklers!); and the inside is just as inviting! The home had a new roof in 2018, a new water heater in 2019, AC in 2015 and has been wonderfully maintained throughout! A must see for sure.
