Montana Living for the Whole Family – A Multigenerational Retreat on 85+ Acres
A one-of-a-kind Montana estate designed to bring generations together in comfort, adventure, and independence. Nestled in the Duck Creek area near Townsend and Canyon Ferry Lake, this nearly 85-acre property offers the perfect blend of privacy, space, and versatility for extended generations looking to live, work, and play under one expansive Big Sky.
Crafted from massive custom logs—set by helicopter—this rugged home delivers the timeless beauty of Montana craftsmanship with the modern infrastructure to support multiple households. The main level features a spacious primary suite with a loft, a large guest room, and additional loft space perfect for grandchildren, guests, or a home office. The walk-out lower level can easily convert into a full three-bedroom apartment, ideal for in-laws, adult children, or visiting family and friends.
Need even more room? A separate guest apartment is tucked privately behind the oversized six-car garage—perfect for grandparents, caregivers, or older kids seeking some independence while staying close to home. There’s even a dedicated gun safe room for secure storage, or it could be repurposed as a wine cellar or bar.
Step outside into adventure—bordering 636 acres of state land at the base of the Belt Mountains in Hunting District 391, with BLM and National Forest access nearby, this is a dream setting for outdoor lovers of all ages. Ride, hike, or explore directly from your doorstep. Spend your summers fishing or boating on nearby Canyon Ferry Lake, and winter evenings around the firepit, hot tub, or by the spring-fed pond, making memories that span generations.
Whether you’re looking to bring family closer together, host holiday gatherings, or simply live in a place where everyone has space to thrive, this multigenerational retreat is a rare opportunity to create a legacy in the heart of Montana.
