Greetings. This is the beloved "Tailwater House" on the West Fork of the Bitterroot. There are a lot of riverfront properties out there, but few pieces of trout water like this, with swimming holes, diving boulders, and crystalline pools with depths that are overhead in places. A lovingly cared-for home on some of the finest fly fishing water anywhere, with Boulder Creek tumbling into a plunge pool and then to the West Fork Main-stem just outside your bedroom window. You are, here, surrounded by water in a literal sense. Utter privacy on a year-round maintained county road. No houses visible from this site. Ancient Ponderosa pines and Douglas fir cover this property. Many local and willing caretakers available for the long distance owner. This is a premier waterfront property. None like it. We were fortunate to buy it years ago, and to see our kids spend many weekends and vacations enjoying this magical place. If you are a Montana outdoors-person, boater, or angler you likely know the place. Very few properties of this quality anywhere. Please see VRBO or Airbnb listing for more information. VRBO reviews provide a comprehensive data set of what travelers from across the globe have thought of this property and the ratings it has earned in their estimation. For us, this has been a solid income generator of a property for more than 15 years: Manage it as a business investment or as your personal place of peace and rejuvenation. Showings by appointment please (406) 946-2258. FSBO. Happy Hunting.
