Description

11.65-acre Year-Round Refuge with eminent accessibility while remaining exceptionally private. Don't let the Off-Grid title intimidate you. This Farmstead has all of the amenities of an on-grid property with increased reliability & system redundancy. It is also possible to run power to the property, but really is unnecessary. This home is located in the highly desirable Swan Valley, just minutes off of highway 83 and ensconced between the Bob Marshall Wilderness & Mission Mountain Wilderness. Visually spectacular views of the Swan Mountains & the Mission Mountains. This property also abuts the Flathead National Forest on the east & two large family legacy properties on the other boundaries. Call Jeff Micklitz at 406-529-5272 or your real estate professional.The home was built using reinforced poured concrete panels with 2'' of insulation on both the interior and exterior walls, making it immensely efficient: warm in the winter & cool in the summer. The metal roof & siding make this home extremely fire resistant and virtually maintenance free. The loft is outfitted with temperature activated fire extinguishers. The fully finished walkout basement has one bedroom & a 3/4 bathroom. The basement also houses a special security room and a storage room with a utility sink, which could serve as a root cellar. There are two water pressure tanks in the mechanical room along with an on-demand Rinnai tankless hot water heater. There is a temperature activated propane stove in the basement which does an excellent job of heating the entire home. This stove was vented through the main level floor to maximize use of all of the heat produced. The home was over-built using 12" on center floor joists allowing for an immense weight capacity. The main floor has an owner's suite with full bath. There is a second full bathroom combined with the laundry room, located across from the main floor spare bedroom. The living room has a wood stove which serves as the main floor's primary source of heat. The large kitchen has a gas stovetop & oven. There are two sinks, one in the kitchen island and the other in the kitchen counter. The pantry is oversized at 7'x16' with ample shelving. The external covered deck is accessed through the kitchen and runs the entire length of the house on the south side. The barn is approximately 30' x 40' with wood frame & exterior metal siding & roof that matches the house. The barn has a loft area and crow's nest / look-out. The lot has 5 independently fenced, approximately 1-acre pasture areas to rotate livestock. A seasonal pond is adjacent to the pasture area. The top wire is electrified to deter predators. The owner currently has goats, but previously had sheep, pigs, and chickens. Please see supplemental document regarding the Off-Grid electrical system, which is complete with both solar & non-solar inverters. There is a 100yd shooting range on property. Please see the photos taken during construction to see the care and quality that went into the construction of this exceptional home.
