This fully restored, 100 year-old farmhouse on 6 acres just outside of Ennis, Montana, has picturesque views of the Gravelly Mountains, Ennis Lake, and a bird sanctuary from the front porch and the Madison Range from the back deck. With 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, two river rock fireplaces, fir floors and ceilings, slate tile work, air conditioning, a six person hot tub and large porches, The Last Best Farmhouse is a perfect retreat. The Madison Valley offers fishing, camping, hunting, golfing, downhill and Nordic skiing, biking, horseback riding, bird watching, star gazing, and boating. The house is located in the town of Jeffers, est. in 1894, and is 5 miles from Ennis, the fly-fishing capital of the world and home to art galleries, spas, restaurants, and upscale shops.

Within an hour's drive one can access Yellowstone National Park, Big Sky and Moonlight Basin ski resorts, historic Virginia and Nevada Cities (two of the oldest preserved gold-rush towns in the West), Island Park, Idaho, and blue ribbon fisheries, including The Henry's Fork of the Snake, Beaverhead, Big Hole, Ruby, Gallatin, and Jefferson. The eclectic town of Bozeman and the Gallatin Field Airport are only 1 hour away. The town of Ennis boasts several outfitters who will happily take you down the river of your choice for guided fly-fishing tours or provide horses for a day's trail ride.

John Steinbeck writes in his memoir, Travels with Charley, "I am in love with Montana." He goes on to say, "It seemed to me that the frantic bustle of America was not in Montana." One glimpse of the Madison Valley suggests why. The fortunate few who get to call this beautiful farmhouse "home" will doubtless share his sentiment for years to come.
