Many dream of moving here and finding that quintessential Montana property, with views for days, surrounded by nature and wildlife. They dream of creating something beautiful, rustic yet elegant. That is exactly what happened here, on 39+ acres outside of Helena, the capital city of Montana. With private access to Hauser Lake, and quick access to thousands of acres of public land, this loving, craftsman couple built their dream. Using as much locally sourced material as possible, including slate floors and 10+ types of wood, craftsmanship is on display in every room. This 3264 sf home is filled with exquisite detail, hand-carved woodwork, and luxury. Two living areas. Main-floor living. Generator backup 1200 sf shop (with 220V) that could be converted into barn space for the horse lover. Circumstances are moving this couple closer to town. Just a hop skip to the local sapphire mine and boating area. 2 inch sprayed in foam in all exterior walls plus 4 inch batting. All exterior walls are 2 x 6's. Back half of the house is set into rock which keeps the temperatures very even in the basement without requiring supplemental heating/cooling. Dual furnace and air conditioning. In the corner of the kitchen, it is plumbed for an indoor grill. On the deck, it is plumbed for an outdoor kitchen with gas as well. The two wires in the dining room is because the seller was going to put in a shadow display box. 27 inches of insulation in the ceiling.
