The Powerhouse: a storied estate with three predominant features: private livewater, an origin story interwoven with Montana's statehood, and marvelous beguiling tranquility. The original stone building was constructed, stone by stone, in 1908 to harness the waters that flow from Blaine Springs. Hydroelectricity, sourced here, lit the halls of Virginia City when it served as the Capital.

And oh oh oh the stories these walls could tell since then. Two foot thick stone walls convey an ambiance of strength and enduring craftsmanship. Since the public utility expired - and technology evolved - previous owners converted the structure into a sprawling magnificent but comfortable home. They captured its tangible spirit and enhanced it with a complimentary addition. Lush, verdant grounds foster an oasis in an otherwise arid landscape. Towering cottonwoods provide habitat for hunting ospreys and create a wind break line.

There are 6 bedrooms, 4 of which are ensuite, and 4 of which are creekside including the primary suite. Vintage bath fixtures are in mint condition and showcase a light-hearted pastel palette. Antiques, artwork, and artifacts encapsulate the West and its stories. You'll wander from room to room with wonder, imbibing the heritage of those who settled here generations ago.

Sphinx Mountain pierces the skyline, begging you to ascend her granite summit. Right away, you'll add it to your bucket-list. The Madison Double R is a closeby and amenity-rich neighbor. The Ennis / Big Sky FBO Airport is 10 minutes away across the Madison Valley. Bozeman and its airport are 90 minutes away. Yellowstone National Park, which some of us call America’s best idea, is also about 90 minutes away.

Ennis serves as the fly-fishing capital of the West, a hub of a lifetime's worth of blue ribbon rivers, lakes, and streams. The fisheries on this property lure friendly neighbors, between its spring creek and the reflective live-water pond. There are opportunities to expand the number of buildings. Imagine a party barn, a couple small guest cabins, or tipis around a campfire.

A brand new roof and exterior paint demonstrate pride of ownership. This is a fully furnished, turn-key offering (minus seller’s exceptions).

There is no zoning or covenants. This is Montana. We welcome you.
