This is Montana Living: Black Mountain Ranch

Now this is Montana living – Black Mountain Ranch is a scenic working cattle ranch located in the desirable Madison Valley near Ennis, Montana. The ranch is loaded with recreational amenities and complemented by a full set of newly built improvements which include an attractive manager’s home, shop and a custom-designed owner’s residence reminiscent of a barn.

The main house is a unique three-story structure that presents as a barn. The siding is stone and half log so it appears as a log structure but is fully insulated and of traditional “stick frame” construction. The entire building is air-conditioned and heated and contains 6,773± square feet on three levels. The main floor has a broad array of functions and separated spaces to accommodate them. The central area on the north side functions as an expansive entrance hall/mud room where people can shed and store their gear. They then can walk up the staircase to the residential area. The main floor has five automatic garage doors which allow drive-through parking of vehicles as well as an area to bring in horses where there are two stalls with runs and a tack room. Other rooms include a large vault secured gun room, a bathroom, a pantry that includes both food storage and a second refrigerator and freezer, a shop, and storage areas for everything imaginable. There is also a comfortable covered stone patio under the second-floor balcony that accesses from the main floor.
