Step into the heart of Montana and into the embrace of nature in this meticulously crafted custom log home. Nestled in the picturesque Paradise Valley, ensconced by the majestic Absaroka and Gallatin mountain ranges, and bordered by the tranquil Yellowstone River, this residence offers an unparalleled connection to the rugged beauty of the American West. Greet the morning with awe-inspiring sunrises over Emigrant Mountain from the expansive eastern deck, while evenings offer a spectacle of color as the sun dips behind the Gallatin mountains from the charming western farmers porch. Step across the threshold through a masterfully carved door, and be welcomed into an inviting slate-tiled entryway that sets the stage for the grandeur within. The spacious living room beckons with its soaring vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows framing sweeping views of the surrounding wilderness. Rustic log support columns and a striking stacked stone fireplace add warmth and character to this inviting space. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight, Thermadore double stoves, Thermador gas range, a generous granite island, and a convenient wine cooler. Adjacent to the kitchen, a sunroom offers a serene retreat to savor the sights and sounds of nature, with wildlife just beyond the windows. Retreat to the master suite, where French doors open onto the eastern porch, inviting you to unwind in the private hot tub. Upstairs, a spacious loft offers additional living space, while two bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and full baths provide comfort and convenience for guests. The fully finished walk-out basement is an entertainer's haven, featuring a media room, family room, office/bedroom, and an additional en suite bedroom. Step outside to the patio, where an open pit fireplace awaits with breathtaking views. This exceptional property is equipped with modern amenities including a whole house generator, security system with cameras, buried propane tanks, central air conditioning, in-floor heating, and forced hot air. A private well and septic system ensure self-sufficiency, while a 40x60 barn with loafing shed and fenced pasture provides ample space for horses. Outside, an automatic drip watering system nourishes the landscape, while a seasonal ditch meanders through the property. Located just 30 miles from Yellowstone Park, and in close proximity to many outdoor activites, this is truly a Montana dream home offering the quintessential Rocky Mountain experience.
