205 Bales Creek Trail, Bales Creek-headwaters, Kila

Creek Woman Ranch is a one-of-a-kind 20+ acre property! Owner-designed to celebrate the surrounding landscape, this cedar log-framed home is perfectly positioned among mature forest, meadows, and the headwaters of Bales Creek. An artesian well, pond, natural springs, established garden space and a remarkable mix of aspen, spruce, larch, maple, cottonwood, birch, fir, and pine trees create an extraordinary Montana setting. Property holds 3 separate water rights and borders Stoltz Land allowing recreation to extend well beyond your property line. Inside, the 2362 sq ft home offers 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, soaring cedar tongue-and-groove ceilings, abundant windows that frame woodland views and fill the home with natural light, stainless appliances, gas range, Blaze King wood stove and a root cellar. The walkout lower level features a private entrance and has previously functioned as separate living quarters. Three expansive decks, a cedar sauna with cold plunge, workshop/chicken coop with 220 power, carport, and mature landscaping complete the property. Recent wind-felled timber provides a valuable on-site firewood resource for years of efficient wood heat. The unfinished two-story cabin includes a wood stove, drilled well, water line, and electrical conduit, offering outstanding potential for guest accommodations, multigenerational living, a studio, or other future permitted uses. A truly exceptional Montana retreat where stewardship, creativity, and opportunity come together.
