Remarks: Call Warren Altounian at 406-550-2065, or your real estate professional. Chateau Leigh, renowned to all passers-by along US-12 for its elegance, is being listed for the first time. This home is a unique build, with subtle, timeless luxury finishes. Its exterior features original larch wood logs, and has been improved throughout with stone siding, a metal roof, rambling covered patios, north and south facing balconies on the second-floor, and automatic retractable skylights in the living room and upstairs bedrooms. Additionally, there are two acres of fenced pastureland and no covenants for animals or recreation; and a separate, fenced garden area with raised beds. The interior and exterior lighting systems are fully programmable, depending on the mood of the event or the time of day.

The improvements are not simply cosmetic. This home has been thoughtfully updated by its owners, who have painstakingly upgraded all mechanical, plumbing, electrical, air/venting, and heating systems. Furthermore, the chinking between logs has been updated and features a more robust mortar to prevent seepage and improve insulation.

The zero entry main level features and master suite for a guest or resident, adjacent to the towering living room with exposed logs and vaulted ceilings. The gourmet kitchen home (or professional) chef's dream. Expansive granite countertops for food prep also double as social/dining space with bar seating throughout. The dining room addition is prominently featured on the east wing of the home and captures morning light with windows dominating the north, south and east side of the room.

The second level contains three bedrooms and two full baths, including the second master suite. Two of the three feature balconies.
The lower level completes the experience one has living in this home with intimate space for entertaining: a movie room, wine cellar & wet bar, an office, and an ancillary room (currently used for playing music). This level also features a root cellar and walkout staircase to the back yard.

The shop/garage is bifurcated with a demising wall. A portion of which could readily be converted into a guesthouse, and is already wired for 220v and plumbed with hot & cold water. The garage side is heated and features sloped concrete bays for drainage.
