Missoula and the immediate yard, with Pattee Creek bordering the property. A diversion
irrigation ditch is contured to create a picturesque pond that has a water feature to
provide the calming sounds of a gentle waterfall. The home is built on a hillside and
exposes 2 floors to these stunning views. Enjoy birds and other wildlife viewing daily. A
large deck on the main level and a patio at the middle level support outdoor living and
relaxation. The of land supports flower and ceramic art gardens, with plenty of room for
play and outdoor exploration.
