2503 WILD BILL ROAD, KILA, MT 59920

Discover the Montana lifestyle at its finest with this quintessential 21± acre ranchette, where a custom timber-framed home, quality horse facilities, year-round water, and direct access to thousands of acres of National Forest come together in one remarkable property. Tucked into a private, sheltered setting and bordered by National Forest on two sides, the property feels like an extension of the surrounding wilderness. A gently flowing, year-round creek winds through the acreage, while the beautifully "parked-out" landscape showcases mature timber, cleared undergrowth, and inviting open spaces that transition naturally into the forest. For the equestrian enthusiast, the property is ready to go. A fully fenced pasture adjoins the barn area, along with three additional healthy, fenced pastures that have been carefully managed through rotational grazing. Not bringing horses? The possibilities are just as exciting. Allow the pastures to return to lush mountain meadows, or take advantage of the open ground for orchards, gardens, or other agricultural pursuits. Existing electric fencing offers an added advantage for keeping Montana's abundant deer from enjoying the harvest before you do. Adventure begins right outside your door. Ride directly from the property onto seemingly endless miles of Forest Service roads and trails, or spend your days hiking, exploring, cross-country skiing, and enjoying the surrounding public lands. With National Forest on two sides, there is an incredible sense of space and freedom that is increasingly difficult to find. The custom timber-framed home perfectly complements its surroundings, offering the warmth and character expected from a true Montana retreat. Recent improvements include a brand-new roof installed in September 2026 and a new entryway deck. Whether you envision horses in the pasture, mornings along the creek, evenings beneath the timber, or simply having thousands of acres of public land beyond your property line, this is more than a home on acreage--it's an opportunity to live the Montana lifestyle from your own backyard. The property's position in a protected valley offers comfortable year-round conditions, while inside the home, the smooth walls and warm timber tones create a welcoming atmosphere. Situated less than 30 minutes from Kalispell, this ranchette combines refined rural living, ranching, and luxury in one rare offering. The house itself (3,400+ sq. ft.) was featured in Timberhome Living Magazine, a testament to its craftsmanship and design. Step inside to find oversized windows that frame forest and meadow views and fill the interior with natural light. Hand-pegged Douglas fir timbers showcase the structural artistry, while vaulted ceilings and an open floor plan lend the space a bright, airy character. With four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two large family rooms, and an additional loft bedroom, the home comfortably accommodates family and guests. The high-efficiency radiant-floor heating system ensures consistent comfort, and because the interior features smooth wall surfaces rather than log construction, the home enjoys a lighter, more modern aesthetic while still reflecting the warmth of wood. Built in 2004, the property also includes a ±2,000 sq. ft. heated and insulated shop, perfect for vehicles, storage, or creative projects. Outside, the land is as functional as it is beautiful. The high-quality electric fencing has been well maintained around the property's perimeter. In addition, four distinct pastures (one with water access) have been rotationally grazed and nourished through managed manure distribution, maintaining their health and productivity. The barn with covered exterior stalls provides secure space for livestock, with the option to add interior heated stalls. A cleared and leveled arena base has been beautifully set surrounded by aspens, ready for riding or training. The property's sheltered valley location keeps weather moderate through the seasons. The corral and barn are easily visible from the home, allowing for effo
