HUGE PRICE REDUCTION! Step back in time to this rare offering! Built in 1892 as the Maclay Ranch House that stood on over 1500 acres near the convergence of the Clark Fork and Bitterroot rivers, this Victorian-style home has been in the same family for over a century.

Boasting soaring ceilings and intricate architectural details throughout, this home radiates a sense of grandeur rarely found today. The heart of the home is the expansive great room, anchored by stunning stained-glass windows that flood the space with color and light. A formal dining room - large enough to double as a ballroom - offers the perfect setting for entertaining on a grand scale or hosting intimate gatherings with unforgettable ambiance. The main level also hosts the spacious kitchen, a bonus room, and a 3/4 bathroom. There are two stairwells leading to the upper level, one at the entryway and one off the kitchen. Once upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms, a second versatile bonus room, and another bathroom. Panoramic windows showcase the mountain and river scenery, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. Nearby amenities include Blue Mountain Recreation area, Maclay Flat Nature Trail with river access, Kelly Island Fishing Access, The Olde Dairy market, and The Trough neighborhood restaurant. If these walls could talk, they would certainly have some amazing stories to tell!
