What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?
Passive solar heating through the large front windows. Solar system. Wind power.Property Description
Beautiful one of a kind, custom built 4,000 sq. ft. log cabin on 40 acres. 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, huge loft, office, and media room/family room. ??You will notice that you are surrounded by abundance of space and privacy. Take a step out on the balcony taking a deep breath, of the crisp, pure, mountain air and plan your daily adventures. ??Just 25 miles from Missoula, an active university town with access to theater, restaurants, and shopping, your home feels as remote as you could want. The house is made of dozens of 18-25 inch logs, professionally chinked and sealed, inside and out. A custom log porch, railed with unique, naturally shaped beams, stretches from the ground to a 50-foot, second story deck positioned to take full advantage of the mountain vista spread out before it. ?The house is nestled into its hillside with extensive landscaping- decorative trees, colorful flower beds and over $40,000 of installed rock work, expansive rock walkway and stairs. ? There are more than 3 natural springs on your land, and your water is provided by a private well. Water pressure is great and water is abundant at all times. ??The house is outfitted with complete solar system, producing all its own electricity with 8-100 watt solar panels, a 450 watt wind generator and a 15,000 watt backup generator. This is off-grid living at its finest. All of the comforts of modern life with a top of the line electrical system, all electricity is produced by you. No electric bills. No power lines. You will run a few appliances off propane, there is a large tank on the property. It runs the generator and provide alternative heating with a built in propane central heating system for the house. The beauty of this system is that the solar and wind charge the ?batteries all the time. A mechanical monitor watches to make sure that they stay charged, and if the batteries ever get low, it kicks in the generator automatically. Basically, you flip a light switch and you get light.Neighborhood Description
Nestled in a beautiful private setting with forest and mountain views. Trees surround you on your 40 acres. A creek runs through the back end of the property. Natural springs and animals everywhere. The United States of America Forest Service owns hundreds of acres of land on two sides of the property so I’ve been told it will never be developed.Market Area
You will feel as if you are lost from most of the world, but you are only a little over a half an hour drive to the city of Missoula: airport, shopping, movies, restaurants, and spectacular festivals. You are also about an hour from the Snow Bowl for skiing, and Flathead Lake and the wonderful cherries they grow every year.School District
Community
About 15 minutes northwest of Missoula is Frenchtown, a community founded years ago by French Canadian settlers. Situated along the Clark Fork River in a valley called qua elth—meaning state of tranquility—by American Indians, Frenchtown is home to Frenchtown State Park, a five-acre spring-fed lake that's home to a variety of fish. The park is also a fantastic place for beginners to practice kayaking, canoeing and snorkelingLocation of Home or Land
