5 Mountain and Waterfront Estates in Montana, Utah, and Idaho

From its elevated setting atop Horseback Ridge, this architectural estate surveys the Missoula Valley across 20 private acres of open meadows, mature pines, and sweeping mountain vistas. Peace and seclusion define the daily rhythm—sunrises spill across the decks, wildlife moves through the trees, and evenings settle under expansive Montana skies—yet downtown Missoula remains about 20 minutes away. Beyond a custom iron gate, fully fenced grounds include a heated three-bay shop with guest quarters, a pole barn, a custom chicken coop, and additional outbuildings for hobbies or equipment. The 8,000+ square foot residence is shaped by dramatic architecture, soaring ceilings, and expansive walls of glass, with multiple entertaining areas oriented to frame the landscape from nearly every room. A flexible plan adds bedroom suites, offices, recreation and media rooms, guest accommodations, elevator access, and a secluded primary retreat, inviting a future reimagining grounded in architectural significance.

Each bedroom includes its own en suite, complemented by two additional powder baths across both levels.
