This is a prime survival property, 3 acres, 2700+ sq. ft. house. It is in the
garden belt of Montana, where all melons, fruit trees and any and all garden crops
will grow. We seldom have over a 1" to 2" of snow and it generally goes in a couple
of days if we do get any. National forest is ½ mile to the south, Deer, elk, a few
turkey's. A GOOD Survival Retreat
The only reason I am interested in selling this approx. 3 +- acres , river view
survival property, is that I am 85 years young, I have worked all my life, It's time
to retire, and now I want to fish and hunt the remainder of my time.$395,000
The house was
completed in June of 2001. The elevation at the house is about 2300 ft. The river
views are to the west and north. The views of the Flathead River are one in a
million and we are surrounded by mountains on all sides. The East and south side of
the house are dug into the hillside and are buried almost to the roof, the balance
of house has 24" wide planter of dirt and 12" decorative concrete block which come
to the bottom of all the windows, as may be seen in the pictures. The house is
protected from rifle fire to the height of the bottom of all the windows. The house
is one level, with no steps, all entries are at ground level. The service entry is
8' ft x15' ft, joining a 5 ft wide by 76 ft long special interior storage are with
five 2x10 shelves running the full 76 ft, what a dream storage area, cool in the
summer and warm in the winter. All water lines are in this freeze proof area.
Total house area is 2724 sq ft.Heating is by wood, with back up Electric. Uses about 2½ cord a year. Kitchen has 23 pull out drawers under counter tops instead of shelves, 3 ovens, Space for a wood burning cook stove. The house is built into a ridge top with the East and South sides buried in the ground, the north end has the service entry, and the main entry is in the north side of the solarium. (See pictures.) The west side is windows, Solarium and a full length dirt filled planter, with decorative block facings. Again see pictures.
This home is not a Lloyd Wright
design, but does blend in to the surrounding terrain and has a very unusual design
and setting. Large Kitchen, Three bedrooms, walk in closet, Jacuzzi. Inside fire
protection. A large wood storage closet, close to the stove. A 16 ft x 20 ft family
room, 16 ft x 24 ft living room and a dinning room. All with wainscotings. Ceramic
tile floors from entry to master bath. Carpet In balance of house.
There is 600' ft of flat open ground, between the river and a good hill top lookout
position, and another 200'ft of treed area to the house. If one wants to reach out
and touch some one this open area is ideal. This can be a very secure area, but too
much for me watch alone. The national forest is about ½ mile to the south.
This is a dream spot, I am asking $395,000. The closest town is Plains and has
everything, including a very good hospital.I am former Green Beret, Home builder, and a Christian Constitutionalist. I will be building a smaller home about 300 ft to the south as soon as I sell present home. If interested in this top survival spot, and yet not being totally isolated, contact me by email: freedom2005@blackfoot.net. I will get back to you ASAP.
