Rustic Log Cabin

Missoula, MT

Fully off grid powered with wind, propane, wood and solar. Your chance to be self sufficient just 25 miles from Missoula!

Beautiful one of a kind, custom built, off-grid 4,000 sq. ft. log cabin on 40 acres. 4 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 is a fire pit with log chairs nestled on one side and an expanse of green grass making a traditional yard in the back.

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.

Hydro power is available through one of the creeks which runs, year-round through the property.

 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, if you ever don't want to go with wood.

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.

Asking Price $544,000
