35799 Repass TRL St Ignatius, MT 59865

The original Repass Homestead is being offered for sale for only the third time in almost 100 years. Rich with history and the simple charms of a bygone era, this 2-bedroom farmhouse on 20 rolling acres boasts one of the most stunning views in Montana, and offers the rare combination of end-of-road privacy within walking distance of small-town St. Ignatius. Built in the late 1920s, the farmhouse has been thoughtfully maintained and upgraded, with original built-ins gracing the formal dining room, newer tile bath, and butcher-block countertops and stainless-steel appliances in the kitchen. The welcoming front porch looks out over a postcard view of undeveloped meadows framed by the spectacular Mission Mountains and Mission Falls, and is surrounded by a lovely yard, with loads of mature trees and many perennials-- lilacs, roses, tulips, irises—featuring a flagstone fire pit where you can take in the view to the sounds of the babbling irrigation stream that cuts through a property corner. With abundant flower beds and a large adjoining garden area, the historic Repass Homestead is a gardener's dream!
The gorgeous, gently rolling acreage is perimeter fenced for your animals, and with access to District irrigation, this property can function as a small farm, a grazing lease, or provide additional building sites. The pleasant, functional home also features a good-sized bonus room as well as a large laundry/mud room, and a small carport. All this within a 30 minute drive to Missoula's Wye. A rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind property—the Repass Homestead is an incredible place to call home and a unique piece of Mission Valley history!
