A marriage of fantasy and reality awaits you with this spectacular 9380 square foot home on 132 acres of mountain majesty. The custom crafted lodge sits just 10 miles west of Helena, Montana at the base of the Continental Divide of the Rocky Mountains. As you drive along the country lane to get to Walker Creek Retreat, all of a sudden, this structure that seems to blend with the surroundings suddenly appears. You are taken back by the massive cedar log accents by German Craftsman of Vancouver, British Columbia. The cedar log columns that support the covered deck are adorned at the top with hand carved animals, Master chainsaw artist Dave Clark from Eureka, Montana was brought in specifically to create these masterpieces. You walk up the steps to the entrance, and open the door and eyes don’t quit moving. The massive logs used for structure have been artistically carved in a post & beam construction giving the home warmth and character. The great room with 30’ ceiling, has rows of windows going from the floor to the top of wall, and the gorgeous mountain views takes your mind away. As you walk closer to the windows, you pass a massive floor to ceiling rock fireplace, and then notice the pond created by Walker Creek, and cannot help but notice the fish rising on the pond. The gourmet kitchen has granite countertops throughout, a Wolf six burner range top in the island, and along the wall, is a large Wolf double oven and multiple burner cook tops with commercial vent, and granite backsplash. The two side by side sub zero refrigerator freezers complement the kitchen. The door opens onto a covered deck, where you can watch the fish jumping, the sun rise over the eastern skies and set over the western skies. As you look around, you might see some rocky Mountain Elk, mule and whitetailed deer, and an occasional moose. A door off the back side of the kitchen leads to the outside, where the landscaping blends the yard with the natural surroundings. There is a loft leading from the main floor, which has the master suite, sitting area and office. The very large walk-in master closet will accommodate your wardrobes.
