If you’re looking for a home that feels tucked away in the mountains without giving up convenience, this one is special. Enjoy wide open mountain and valley views right off the back deck of this 4 bedroom, 3 bath home in the Buffalo Mountain community. Approximately 94 of the community’s 120 acres are dedicated open space, plus residents enjoy private access to hiking trails through the adjoining Bibler Family Trust lands. Across Smith Lake Road, federally owned land adds to the open and protected feel of the setting. Hike to views overlooking Foys Lakes, take an evening walk through the pines, or grab the sleds when the snow starts falling. Inside, it’s easy to see how much thought went into every detail. Craftsman character carries throughout the home with distinctive windows, detailed trim, thoughtfully selected lighting, doors, doorknobs, and hardware. The main living area features a wood stove framed by a rustic brick fireplace wall and wainscoting. The kitchen offers white cabinetry and a walk in pantry, with the dining area opening directly to the back deck. The main level primary suite includes double closets and a private bath with double vanity. Just off the attached garage, the combined mudroom and laundry room features a custom bench, storage, and hooks, with reclaimed wood from the Kalispell Lumber Company adding even more character to the space. The daylight walkout basement gives you even more room to spread out with a spacious second living area, exposed beams, bedrooms, a full bath, and a custom play nook tucked beneath the stairs. Outside, terraced stone steps and rock retaining walls lead to a lower paver patio and built in fire pit, creating a great space for summer evenings. An invisible fence is already installed, and a 10x12 storage shed adds extra storage. Wide open views, acres of open space and trails, and thoughtful details inside and out. This is a home you need to experience in person.
