61 Highway 308, Red Lodge, MT 59068

When I first discovered Red Lodge, we drove in from Wyoming, turned west on Highway 308, which after 15 miles gracefully descents on &quot;Bear Creek Hill&quot; into Red Lodge. An unbelievable view opened up in front of us. You can see the Rock Creek Valley as it winds out of the Beartooth Mountains and the whole town of Red Lodge lies right in front of you with its lush vegetation and surrounded by the highest mountain range in Montana. This view alone made us decide to settle in Red Lodge. There are only two homes built on this hillside with that kind of a view: This home and one other one, which I have recently sold. Below this home is a 12 acres property which is landscaped with six fish ponds and waterfalls, beyond that flows Rock Creek at a rapid rate, which you can still hear at the home, especially when it rolls the rocks in its bed. <br /><br />What the owner likes about this property:<br />Sense of living in nature, yet 2-minute car ride from town <br />Ability to walk, bicycle or ATV back and forth to town <br />The 270 degree mountain and town views <br />Access to the Meteetsee Trail for ATV and Dirt -biking <br />Access to the creek for fishing <br />Overlooking the lakes and sounds of the waterfalls <br />Sense of isolation from the road <br />The house is sunny, open and airy with an &quot;outside-in&quot; feeling <br />The quality of the house fosters pride of ownership <br />No need for air conditioning with good thermal mass and cool evening breezes <br />In-floor heating <br />Fenced yard for the dogs <br /><br />Other Amenities<br />Pad is in and ready for Garage, Guest Quarters, or Barn <br />Horses are allowed <br />Sprinkler system handles whole property <br />Would be relatively simple to add larger deck for great space for outdoor entertainment and relaxation with a view <br /><br />The property has its own well, pumping 10 GPM, but is connected to the city sewer. So it hardly costs anything to water all the trees and landscaping. We are pr
