7 Vanover Drive, Townsend, MT 59644

Perched on a gentle hill just minutes from Townsend, this 1-acre property invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and take in the kind of views most people only see on vacation. From the moment you pull up the paved driveway, you'll understand why the current owners have loved calling this place home-and why they've invested so thoughtfully in it over the years. The heart of the home is a bright, welcoming 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch where everyday living feels easy. A cheerful kitchen anchored by a breakfast bar flows into sun-filled gathering spaces, perfect for morning coffee, family dinners, and lingering conversations. Downstairs, the full daylight basement opens up a whole second world of possibility-room to stretch out, set up a home gym, make music, host guests, or simply spread out and relax. But the real magic happens outside. Step onto the expansive covered deck and the valley unfolds before you, framed by the Elkhorn and Big Belt Mountains in the distance. It's the kind of spot where you'll watch sunrises with your coffee and sunsets with friends, season after season. Best of all, the property borders Bureau of Land Management land, so wide-open public space and recreation are quite literally right out your back door-no crowded fences, no close neighbors, just room to roam. For the hobbyist, tinkerer, or anyone who simply needs space, this property delivers. A detached 32x28 finished shop/garage offers a true workspace for projects, tools, and toys, while the attached garage keeps daily vehicles covered. There's dedicated RV parking for your next adventure and a handy storage shed for everything else. The whole place is crowned by a striking, durable metal roof that's as practical as it is eye-catching. Come see it for yourself, fall in love with the view, and write your next chapter on the hill. What truly sets this home apart is how well it has been cared for and updated. The exterior has been finished in low-maintenance seamless steel siding, metal roof approximately 3 years old paired with newer Pella windows that keep things comfortable and quiet year-round. Inside, a new gas furnace and central air conditioning (added in July 2017) mean reliable, four-season comfort no matter what Montana weather brings. Even the water pump was recently replaced in July 2024, so you can move in with peace of mind knowing the big-ticket items have already been handled. Set in a peaceful rural setting yet just a short drive from downtown Townsend, Canyon Ferry Lake, and endless outdoor recreation, this is Montana living at its finest-space, views, comfort, and convenience all in one package. Whether you're raising a family, chasing hobbies, or finally settling into the quieter life you've been dreaming about, there's room here for all of it.
