JESSICA HALL

Sunlight filters through towering pines, the Bitterroot River glimmers along a private stretch of shoreline, and ridgelines rise dramatically in every direction. Welcome to 4474 Blue Mountain Rd, where over 130 acres of pristine land meet timeless Montana craftsmanship just twenty minutes from the cultural heart of Missoula.

An executive residence of 10,408 square feet commands the property, designed with a balance of rustic materials and refined detail. Circle-sawn hardwood floors, massive timber trusses, and vaulted wood-planked ceilings create warmth and authenticity, while expansive windows capture the ever-changing canvas of sky and mountain. Anchoring the great room, a soaring stone fireplace frames gathering beneath cathedral ceilings, with uninterrupted views that spill outward to the valley.

Daily living flows effortlessly from the great room to the dining space and a chef’s kitchen designed for both function and beauty. Dual islands topped in granite, professional-grade appliances, and a spacious pantry support entertaining at scale, whether hosting formal dinners or casual breakfasts before a day on the river. Upstairs, a loft overlooks the main living space and provides a flexible lounge for reading or recreation. The main-floor primary suite serves as a personal sanctuary, complete with its own stone fireplace, private deck, and spa-style bath featuring a soaking tub and custom-tiled shower.

Beyond the main house, a 4,324-square-foot shop with soaring ceilings and four oversized doors ensures ample room for equipment, vehicles, or creative pursuits. A 960-square-foot caretaker’s home adds additional accommodations for guests or staff, enhancing both privacy and practicality.

Step outside to a covered deck where an outdoor fireplace extends the seasons and panoramic views sweep across the Missoula Valley. From here, it is easy to imagine evenings spent with friends under starlit skies, mornings filled with wildlife sightings, or quiet afternoons with only the sound of the Bitterroot River as company. The estate borders Lolo National Forest and sits adjacent to the Blue Mountain Recreation Area, offering instant access to hiking, biking, horseback riding, and world-class fishing along 2,500 feet of private riverfront.

Life at Blue Mountain offers not only wilderness, but connection. Just a short drive away, downtown Missoula hums with energy and culture. Independent bookstores line the streets, breweries and coffeehouses spill with conversation, and galleries showcase both contemporary and Western art. The city’s vibrant music scene attracts nationally known acts as well as homegrown talent, while the University of Montana adds youthful dynamism and a calendar of lectures, performances, and Grizzly football games that bring the community together. Fine dining sits comfortably alongside casual farm-to-table eateries, and the Clark Fork River runs right through town, alive with kayakers, fly fishers, and festivals. It is a place where sophistication and small-town authenticity coexist, offering the best of both worlds.

With 4 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, and a design that celebrates its Montana surroundings, this estate appeals to visionaries, nature lovers, and those seeking a legacy retreat in the heart of Big Sky Country. Whether gathering family, entertaining on a grand scale, or simply savoring the solitude of river and ridge, this estate delivers a lifestyle as rare as its landscape.

4474 Blue Mountain Rd, Missoula, Montana is offered at $7,895,000.
