1263 spencer ridge road

Located within the gated privacy of Whitefish Hills, 1263 Spencer Ridge Road takes full advantage of one of the best 20 acre lots in the development with views of the Whitefish & Swan Mountain Ranges and stunning views into Glacier National Park and Mt. Jackson. These views are celebrated from virtually every room in this timeless Montana residence of stone, timber and wood handcrafted around a thoughtful and efficient home design to a level of detail rarely experienced. This meticulously maintained residence is blended into the hillside and lives seamlessly with the outdoors from various decks and stone patios surrounded by mature landscaping, terraced elevation changes and a water feature whispering falling water to the private primary bedroom wing. A series of connected trails makes it easy to venture farther from the home to enjoy the remaining 20 acres of thinned and professionally maintained forest and the serene shore of a shared lily pond below the home. Upon entry from stone steps set under massive timber trusses the home welcomes you with a feeling of warmth and comfort exuded from colors, textures and materials blended in a style of refined Montana rustic. Plaster walls, stained alder trim and doors, sturdy bronze hardware, wood burning stone fireplaces and distressed hardwood floors set the tone while being complimented by top-of-the-line plumbing and light fixtures, appliances, cabinetry and stone countertops. The additional comforts of radiant heat flooring, central air conditioning, Russound sound system and Lutron controlled lighting system round out the amenities of a truly custom home experience. From the main entry foyer the home flows into a comfortable open concert of great room, dining area, kitchen and sit up bar all accessing outdoor decks. An incredibly private main floor primary bedroom wing is connected by an impressive glass and stone gallery while the open stairwell makes the transition to the lower level with three additional ensuite bedrooms, family and game room, bar, gym, office, theatre and wine room. Connecting easily from the kitchen, the stone floor mudroom makes the transition to the large three car garage and a full guest apartment above while the detached shop located a few steps from the main home adds additional car and toy storage and guest quarters above. Property contains a private 11,000 gallon water fire mitigation cistern. Complimented by the amenities of Whitefish Hills and shared access to Blanchard Lake this home and location are priced at a true value.
