Property Description

From sunrise to sunset, you will love the 360 degree views framed by this country home in the heart of Montana’s capital city. Boasting 13.46 acres in one of the area’s most sought after neighborhoods, Copper Creek Estates, this location offers serenity, seclusion, and views that define Montana living. From your doorstep you have immediate access to all the Queen City has to offer, only fifteen minutes to Helena Regional Airport, ten minutes to the shopping corridor, and twelve minutes to Helena’s historic downtown. Nestled in the southern foothills of the Scratchgravel Hills, public access to miles of hiking, biking, and horseback riding on BLM ground are just 5 minutes up the lane. The home’s craftsmanship combines historic woodwork with modern amenities. Reclaimed timbers throughout the home tell the stories of Montana’s rich history. Barnwood floors from a 1900s grain elevator in Willsall, custom doors and window framing from historic ranches off of the Eastern Front of the Rocky Mountains, a custom dining room chandelier and exposed beams in the living area recovered from a wooden box car used in the construction of Fort Peck Dam. Accompanied by granite and custom concrete countertops, an induction stovetop, stainless double oven, and dual kitchen sinks, the kitchen and living area provide all of the ease and comfort of a modern home. Above the expansive three car garage with workshop, is a standalone 800 square foot one bedroom apartment with vaulted ceilings, open concept, and expansive views of Lake Helena and the Big Belt Mountains. With its own parking, no shared walls with the primary residence, and a private entrance this space feels like a property of its own. A spacious, tiled bathroom with natural light, a comfortable bedroom, and a walk-in closet with washer and dryer hookups, make this bonus space fully independent and comfortable for any guest. The nearly 1,900 square foot basement has been thoughtfully designed to allow natural light and passive solar warmth to accommodate 3 conforming bedrooms, a large full bathroom with walk-in shower, and a large entertaining area with a bar / kitchenette. This space represents a great opportunity to finish a portion of the home in your own vision on an exceptional canvas. The basement floors have been finished with professionally installed epoxy flooring providing a clean, finished asset that can be left as the primary flooring or covered with whatever flooring is desired. A large 12 x 36 foot outbuilding provides hay storage, a covered space for tack and tools, solar lighting and livestock shelter in the fully fenced eastern paddock. Built to accommodate performance horses, the pasture has a smooth-wire perimeter. The heated, automatic water provides fresh water year round and is split to accommodate the creation of a second, western paddock on the lower portion of the property. Saddle up and head down to the riding arena which provides exceptional footing with 12 inches of manufactured arena material from Valley Sand and Gravel. Tie up to the hitching post and breathe in the fresh mountain air as the Lord provides you with one of the most astounding sunsets you can witness. A truly rare opportunity awaits you at 4795 Old Iron Drive. Owner financing is available, buyer down payment assistance is available.
