This is a 3.1 acre ranchette set up for 2 horses with hay shed, loafing shed, tack room, pasture, and room for a large (60+ feet) round pen or riding arena. Only 1+ mile to McMaster BLM trailhead for trail riding. The house has fantastic southern exposure with passive solar heat, and views of surrounding mountains and across the Helena Valley. Top floor is large open area consisting of living room with a cozy woodstove and kitchen with hardwood floors. Kitchen has double ovens and a JennAir range/grill as well as a dishwasher. There is also a remodeled 1/2 bath and large coat closet. A deck runs across the southern side of the house with a circular deck on the SE corner, great for barbecuing or just star gazing. Downstairs is a walkout basement with 2 br, full bath, walkout sunroom to back yard, office that's wired for wireless/satellite, laundry room, and a well-lit storage space under the stairs. 2-car garage with automatic opener and inside door that leads into the house through spacious finished mudroom. Back & front yards fenced with beautiful wrought iron. 2-tiered garden with gorgeous flowers in spring/summer. Several fruit trees--4 apple, 1 cherry, 1 flowering crabapple. Lots of room for a veggie garden. Chicken house with electricity and small yard for chickens fenced with 5' chicken wire; if not into chickens, would be easy to convert to a small greenhouse. Quiet, set back from road, neighbors on either side about 1-2 acres away. House has a bright, fun feel to it, great for entertaining; artistic vibe probably left over from Montana artist/cartoonist Stan Lynde (Rick O-Shay, Hipshot), a former owner of the house!
