Four private acres. Towering trees. Rattlesnake Creek moments away. A lifestyle rarely found this close to downtown Missoula. Tucked within the heart of Missoula's highly sought after Rattlesnake neighborhood, 3865 Fox Farm Road offers a rare opportunity to own an estate property that feels worlds away from the city while remaining just minutes from everything it has to offer. Beyond the gated entrance, a winding drive leads to more than 4.128 acres of remarkable privacy, where mature trees, abundant wildlife, and peaceful surroundings create a setting that feels more like a mountain retreat than a residential property. Deer regularly wander through the grounds, owls call from the trees in the evening, and nearby Rattlesnake Creek serves as a constant reminder of the natural beauty that defines this exceptional location. Originally built in 2000 and thoughtfully renovated, the residence encompasses more than 7,300 square feet of total living space designed to balance comfort, functionality, and effortless entertaining. Expansive open concept living areas, radiant floor heating, large picture windows, and inviting gathering spaces create an atmosphere that is both welcoming and refined. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with premium Viking and Wolf appliances, offering exceptional performance and timeless design for both everyday living and large scale entertaining. Generous workspace, abundant cabinetry, and seamless connection to the surrounding living areas make it a natural gathering place for family and friends. The main level is anchored by a spacious primary suite offering privacy and convenience, complete with a generous bath, walk in shower, and walk in closet. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms, including a private suite, and an expansive bonus room provide flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, recreation, remote work, or creative pursuits. A dedicated media room, fitness area, and extensive storage further enhance the home's versatility. Designed for both lifestyle and practicality, the detached garage offers exceptional capacity with room for up to six vehicles, including an oversized bay capable of accommodating a 45 foot motorhome. Whether housing a collection of vehicles, outdoor equipment, or recreational toys, the space is ready to support Montana adventures of every kind. Outside, the grounds unfold like a private park. Three separate parcels provide flexibility and a sense of space rarely available within Missoula city limits. A fenced yard, electric gate, private irrigation well, and expansive outdoor areas offer the perfect balance of security, functionality, and natural beauty. Few properties offer such a compelling combination of acreage, privacy, quality construction, and proximity to town. Here, residents enjoy immediate access to the Rattlesnake's renowned trail systems, creekside recreation, and outdoor lifestyle while remaining just minutes from downtown Missoula, the University of Montana, shopping, dining, and Missoula International Airport. 3865 Fox Farm Road is more than a home. It is a place to slow down, reconnect with nature, gather with friends, and experience the very best of Montana living.

Listed by Dawn Maddux• Engel & Völkers Western Frontier - Missoula
Upper Rattlesnake, located between Greenough Park and Rattlesnake National Recreation Area, is a residential and outdoorsy Missoula neighborhood with trailhead streets and forested foothill views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Rattlesnake Drive corridor near the main trailheads, where bikes, dogs, and dusty hikers set the pace. Housing leans toward mid-century ranches and newer hillside builds tucked along winding lanes. Rattlesnake Creek and its cottonwood edges shape daily routines and weekend loops. The Montana Natural History Center and the Rattlesnake Wilderness trail system act as local pillars. A quiet, woodsy feel persists even as downtown sits just beyond the lower valley.
