OSPREY HEIGHTS | A RARE EXPRESSION OF WESTERN MONTANA LIVING Set along the Clark Fork River just west of Missoula, Osprey Heights represents an extraordinary convergence of land, architecture, conservation, and privacy. Encompassing 32.5 acres across a thoughtfully planned lot, this exceptional residence offers a rare opportunity to reside in a refined private retreat within one of Western Montana's most remarkable natural settings--approximately 20 minutes from downtown Missoula and Missoula International Airport. At the heart of Osprey Heights, originally designed by the remarkable Eric Hefty had a commitment to preserving the land. Approximately 23.93 acres of shared common area protect the natural character of the mountainside, while nearly 1,900 acres of surrounding conservation easements, protected open space, and floodplain further reinforce the sense of permanence and seclusion. A 500-acre conservation easement borders the property to the south and west, with additional protected lands directly across the Clark Fork River. Adjacent to Osprey Heights is the approximately 660-acre Kelly Island Fishing Access Site, positioned just downstream from the confluence of the Bitterroot and Clark Fork Rivers. The setting is extraordinary. Sweeping views extend across the Clark Fork River and Missoula Valley toward the surrounding Rocky Mountains, while mature fir, pine, and cottonwood trees create a naturally sheltered landscape. Whitetail deer move throughout the property, and raptors and other native wildlife are frequent along the river corridor. A private trail descends to the river and a renowned fishing hole, providing direct access to some of Western Montana's most cherished recreational pursuits, from fly fishing to rafting and summer river adventures. Within this remarkable setting, Lot 2 offers the opportunity to create an architectural statement of exceptional sophistication and restraint. Designed meticulously by Nels Hefty Architecture, The proposed residence encompasses approximately 4,039 square feet of interior living space, complemented by an expansive 1,547 square feet of outdoor deck area, including a spectacular 785-square-foot rooftop terrace with a large custom hot tub. Designed to embrace the surrounding landscape while maintaining complete privacy, the residence is oriented to capture panoramic river, valley, and mountain views from nearly every major space. The proposed five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath residence is conceived around an effortless open-plan living experience. The kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow together beneath dramatic 18-foot-8-inch ceilings, while the primary suite occupies the same level, creating a sophisticated single-level living experience. Each bedroom is designed with a private en-suite bath, and an additional bedroom offers flexibility to become a library, office, gym, theater, or private retreat. Architecturally, the residence is distinctly modern yet deeply responsive to its Montana setting. Expansive windows draw natural light deep into the home and frame the landscape as living artwork. Zinc siding and roofing provide a refined, enduring exterior, while weathered steel columns elevate the structure above the natural vegetation, allowing the landscape to continue uninterrupted beneath the home. Inside, natural wood and stone define the floors, countertops, and millwork, creating a warm and tactile counterpoint to the home's contemporary architectural language. The specifications are equally exceptional. Miele appliances are planned throughout the kitchen and laundry, Philippe Starck-designed plumbing fixtures elevate the bathrooms, and radiant floor heating is envisioned throughout the residence. The result is a home where every material, proportion, and detail has been considered to create an experience that is both highly sophisticated and profoundly connected to its surroundings. The opportunity is further distinguished by the architectural pedigree already established at Osprey Heights. The residence on Lot 1 was designed by Eric Hefty &
