A Storybook Homestead Near Cottonwood Canyon – 4 Acres, 3 Homes, and Endless Country Charm
If you’ve been dreaming of a homestead where you can sip your morning coffee while the horses graze, gather eggs from your own coop, and watch the sun dip behind the mountains—all without sacrificing modern comforts—this 4-acre retreat near Cottonwood Canyon is calling your name. A true countryside gem, this property is a haven for hobby farmers, entertainers, and those with a love for the land.
At its heart, a beautifully restored two-story farmhouse is packed with character and craftsmanship. Step inside to discover custom woodwork, charming inset blinds, detailed trim work under the cabinets, and gleaming butcher block countertops. Bamboo floors whisper underfoot, glass knobs gleam in the light, and an abundance of cabinetry in the built-in pantry makes storage a breeze. Every detail has been designed to delight and surprise in daily living.
But wait—there’s more! Two delightful accessory dwelling units (ADUs) bring extra charm (and opportunity) to the homestead. Both are single-story, 1-bedroom, 1-bath cottages with mini-split systems for year-round comfort. The newer build features a cozy loft, soaring vaulted ceilings, and architectural flair, while the original ADU has been taken down to the studs and fully reimagined. Each has its own fenced yard—perfect for guests, rental income, or multigenerational living.
And then, there’s the great outdoors—your own little slice of Montana heaven. Set up for horses, the property includes a workshop (28 feet deep!) with hay storage, an outdoor oven and campfire ring near a babbling creek, and space for every project imaginable. With the natural beauty of Cottonwood Canyon at your doorstep, hiking, fishing, and adventure are just minutes away.
For green thumbs, this property is a dream come true. Lush gardens brimming with herbs, flowers, and fruit trees surround a greenhouse, chicken coop, and run. The perimeter is already equipped with electric fencing, keeping your animals (and your peace of mind) secure. With ample space, the possibilities for expanding your agricultural pursuits are endless.
Rounding out this one-of-a-kind property is a detached shop for the primary home, with a garage, lean-to storage, and an extra room for hobbies or an office.
It’s a rare blend of rustic elegance, thoughtful design, and rural freedom—all just a short drive to town.
