Missoula, Montana is an epic mountain town, the place where the Bitterroot, Blackfoot and Clark Fork rivers become one, the gateway to hiking and mountain biking trails that stretch for miles, a community that celebrates alpine, cross-country and back-country skiing in the winter and then surfs the downtown river wave all summer, and a city steeped in culture thanks to a modern art museum, a symphony orchestra, an outdoor amphitheater that attracts big-city acts, and galleries and restaurants that bring far-away places nearer. And amidst all that is known and special about Missoula, there is a little secret...five very special home sites, carefully separated from one another, and sharing over 135 acres of privately deeded, Montana conservation land located not hours from Missoula's downtown, hospital and airport, but minutes. Preserved in perpetuity by conservation easement, and adjacent to the Rattlesnake National Recreation Area, the five property owners who share undivided ownership of this incredible acreage are stewards of a piece of Montana mountain paradise. Nearly all of the home owners on Russian Joe Road are the original owners - they understood the vision to preserve this piece of habitat so close to Missoula, and built homes that honor this vision. This rare offering marks a moment that is unlikely to soon be repeated. Gated for privacy and security, Russian Joe Road is a paved, private road that winds upwards through acres of native fauna. With top-of-the-world views, and end-of-the-road privacy, this home is the jewel in the crown. The home was built in 2007 for the current owner by Missoula's Buckley Builders. Master craftsman Abbott Norris created the stunning woodwork and cabinetry. Designed to embrace the setting, the home exudes beauty by complimenting its surroundings, but never overwhelming the landscape. Large, triple-pane windows frame the magnificent mountain views from the entry and living room. Built-in bookshelves and lighted art nooks provide elegant, yet under-stated display areas. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed, outfitted with high-end appliances, and open to a casual living area. There are three beautiful fireplaces including one in the living/dining room, one in the kitchen/family room, and the third outdoors on the magnificent patio. The chef's choices are expanded by the outdoor propane grill that is plumbed into the home's propane source. The gracious primary suite is located on the main level of the home, as is the laundry room, complete with storage and a dog bath. The first of many garages is attached to the home on this level as well, and a separate, detached, heated garage is located just across the paved driveway. The daylight lower level of the home features a cozy living area plus two bedrooms, each with en suite baths. An office on this level is filled with custom storage and enjoys ground-level views of the wilderness area and mountains beyond, while a well-outfitted wine cellar wisely utilizes additional lower level space. And if the foreshadowing of garage space piqued interest...the car enthusiast, wood worker or tinkerer will be thrilled by the massive garage space located under the home's patio and accessible from the lower level of the home, as well as via the exterior garage door tucked into the back of the home. The mechanical systems of this home were designed for longevity and efficiency including the ground source heat pump for heating and cooling, and two forced air furnaces to provide supplemental heating and cooling on the main level when needed. Living in nature, hearing the absolute quiet and seeing the night sky, knowing the vastness of the public lands next door - these are the highlights that are sure to be shared by the next owners of this very special piece of Montana.

The search for a remodeled home with lots of space, a level acre of privacy, and out-buildings for shop and storage, located near river access and recreation trails, but only minutes from downtown, ends at 3117 Humble Road in Missoula's gorgeous Target Range area. Sophisticated yet rural, private yet convenient, this home and property are proof that in Missoula you can have it all.

When quiet is needed, the separate space located just off the living area works as a wonderful home office or a cozy den, a place to isolate the TV, or be isolated from the TV. The primary bedroom suite is also on the main level and here attention to detail continues. The double-sided gas fireplace does extra duty in the bedroom while the massive walk-in closet and lovely primary bathroom add a sense of luxury with lots of built-ins in the closet, and a soaking tub plus tile shower in the bathroom.

Completing the main level of the home is a half-bath and generous mudroom with access to the triple garage. If main-floor laundry is preferred, the pre-remodel hookups in the mudroom could be put back into service. Three additional bedrooms, as well as a second living area and open gathering space are located on the second level. The second bathroom is also on this floor, with double vanity and lots of storage, as is the dedicated laundry room. While describing all that this home has to offer is difficult, it is the property that makes this offering so very unique. Enjoy the mountain views and riparian bird life from the massive, covered back porch, or wander onto the level, fenced acre with plenty of space for a campfire ring, landscaped yard, a garden storage building with a finished and heated shop, raised garden beds and a second storage building large enough to accommodate boats, RVs and equipment. And after all of this, be sure not to miss the absolutely luxurious accommodations ready to welcome some new chickens to the neighborhood. Tucked nearly at the end of Humble Road, convenient to both hospitals and the commercial centers of Missoula, this is a rare offering not to be missed.
