Property Description
The exterior of the home has recently undergone a restoration, including fresh staining, new chinking, metal-wrapped fascia, and new decks, giving the home a renewed appearance while helping protect and preserve the log construction for years to come.
Inside, the cozy 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home features warm log finishes, a wood-burning stove that creates a welcoming gathering place on cool Montana evenings, and large windows that frame the surrounding mountain views in every direction. An attached two-car garage provides convenient parking and additional storage.
The property is well suited for hobby farming, gardening, or simply enjoying the space and freedom of country living. A productive greenhouse has previously been used for flower production, while valuable water rights provide added versatility for irrigation and future agricultural use.
Located just minutes from the Revenue Flats Recreation Area, the property offers exceptional access to miles of trails and public lands. Nearby BLM and USFS lands provide outstanding opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, hunting, wildlife viewing, and exploring Montana's wide-open spaces.
Whether you are looking for a year-round residence, recreational basecamp, or peaceful country getaway, 12 Merlin Drive offers a rare combination of acreage, water rights, recent exterior improvements, and unforgettable views, all within a short drive of Ennis, the Madison River, and world-class fishing.
