A small piece of Montana Heaven: The home and ten acres is located in McGinnis Meadows between Kalispell and Libby on a county-maintained paved road 8.1 miles from Highway 2 and adjacent to the McGinnis Meadows Cattle and Guest Ranch ( www.mmgranch.net ). The home is super-insulated and powered by solar panels (access to grid power is already mapped and an easement on record with Flathead Electric Co-Op). The walls and roof have ten inches of insulation (R-41) along with many large double-pane windows. Telephone line is installed and TV reception by Dish Network. Heat is via wood Earth Stove and standby propane. McGinnis Creek flows through the square property (660 ft. on a side), along the home's back porch, and through the approx. 7 acres of meadow, subirrigating it. Wildlife abounds in this area: brook trout in the creek, plus a large herd of elk, whitetail and muledeer, coyotes, wolves, black bear, etc. State, U.S. and private land are within yards of the property. The creek is potable, with no pastured animals upstream from the home.

Buildings include an old 6-sided log building used as a "stable" for milk goats and llama, a henhouse and a large wood shop operated by an included 4kw gasoline generator. There is a two-stall carport, woodshed, privy and plastic-covered greenhouse. Price includes the woodstove, propane stove, propane wall heater, Bombardier 4x4 atv with large plow and a large Toro snowblower, as well as the installed solar panels, inverter, charger, voltage regulator, monitoring meter and deep cycle batteries. All are in good working order.

Directions: turn on to McGinnis Meadows Road at milepost 64 of US Highway 2. Stay on the paved road for 8.1 miles. Driveway entrance is conspicuously marked. I operate an online retail sales business for oil lamp parts. This ties up my phone line, so email is best. If using email is not practical, you may telephone me at 406-293-6737.

Without elderly/low income credit, annual real property taxes are $740. Price is $194,900 cash, firm. It is a very reasonable price for an exceptionally beautiful and serene location.
