5170 Elk Ridge Rd, Missoula, MT 59802

Remarks: Incredible views, incredible character, incredible location! This single-owner home was architecturally designed and custom built to fit uniquely in the beautiful landscape of the Upper Rattlesnake Valley. Situated on 1.48 acres immediately adjoining boundless open space and wild lands, this home is oriented perfectly to maximize privacy while embracing unobstructed views of the valley, the city, and beyond. Large picture windows on every level allow the home to revel in the flow of light through every time of day and season of year. The use of natural materials throughout the home - principally ceramic tile and wood - contribute to a sense of cohesion, grace and thoughtful design. A galley kitchen wastes no space and opens to dining and living rooms in an open, free-flowing floor plan. From the kitchen, a side door leads to an expansive deck and patio nestled into the hillside and protected from late afternoon heat. Connected by a central stairway, the second level of this home contains a large guest room, study, and master suite, all featuring large windows artfully placed to take advantage of the very best vistas and cool mountain breezes. The lower level provides ample space for storage, a third bathroom, a darkroom, and two large bonus rooms complete with views of their own. You will find nothing pretentious or trendy in this home, but rather the thoughtful design and care that engenders a true and timeless sense of place in the natural world. Just moments in either direction from a thriving, culturally rich downtown and a nationally designated wilderness and recreation area, where better can one see the forest AND the trees?!!
