HUGE PRICE REDUCTION! Step back in time to this rare offering! Built in 1892 as the Maclay Ranch House that stood on over 1500 acres near the convergence of the Clark Fork and Bitterroot rivers, this Victorian-style home has been in the same family for over a century. Now nestled on 1.584 acres, the property carries a rich history and timeless character waiting to be revived. With its classic craftsmanship and generous lot, this home offers a unique opportunity to restore and reimagine a piece of the past. For the buyer with vision, the potential is immense. Boasting soaring ceilings and intricate architectural details throughout, this home radiates a sense of grandeur rarely found today. The heart of the home is the expansive great room, anchored by stunning stained-glass windows that flood the space with color and light. A formal dining room - large enough to double as a ballroom - offers the perfect setting for entertaining on a grand scale or hosting intimate gatherings with unforgettable ambiance. The main level also hosts the spacious kitchen, a bonus room, and a 3/4 bathroom. There are two stairwells leading to the upper level, one at the entryway and one off the kitchen. Once upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms, a second versatile bonus room, and another bathroom. Panoramic windows showcase the mountain and river scenery, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. Nearby amenities include Blue Mountain Recreation area, Maclay Flat Nature Trail with river access, Kelly Island Fishing Access, The Olde Dairy market, and The Trough neighborhood restaurant. If these walls could talk, they would certainly have some amazing stories to tell! This home is a true architectural gem, waiting for its next owner to appreciate its beauty and carry its story forward. Opportunities like this don't come along often. Seize your moment today!
