Blacktail Heritage Estate | Dillon, Montana

Set on 4.46± acres near the base of the Blacktail Mountains, this distinctive property brings together historic character, an established equestrian setup, mature landscaping, flexible living spaces and an exceptional Southwest Montana setting. The residence is positioned well back from Carrigan Lane, with the neighboring irrigated grass field creating a natural buffer between the home and the road. Mature trees line the drive and surround the residential grounds, while the property opens to broad views north toward Baldy Mountain and southwest toward the Pioneer Mountains. The home itself has a story unlike most. Originally built as the Episcopal Church rectory, the residence was relocated from Dillon to its current setting around 2010. Following the move, the electrical and plumbing systems were redone while important elements of the home's original character were preserved. Original hardwood flooring, wood trim and molding remain upstairs, offering a connection to the home's history while thoughtful updates throughout make it comfortable for modern living. On the main level, the kitchen serves as the heart of the home with quartz countertops, generous workspace and a barn-door pantry. The kitchen opens naturally into the living area, where large picture windows bring the surrounding landscape indoors and a gas fireplace creates a warm gathering space. A dedicated main-level laundry room adds everyday convenience. The spacious primary suite is also located on the main level and offers a private retreat with a jetted tub, separate shower and its own wood-burning fireplace. Upstairs are five additional bedrooms, including one with a fireplace, along with a full bathroom. Beneath portions of the carpeting, original hardwood floors remain, accompanied by the home's original trim and molding. The finished lower level adds another dimension to the property. With its own entrance, the basement includes a large living area with a gas fireplace, bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette, along with a roughed-in half bath. The layout provides excellent flexibility for extended family, guests or additional living space. Above the three-car garage is a separate two-bedroom, one-bath apartment, providing another comfortable option for guests or rental use. The apartment generated approximately $15,000 in short-term rental revenue in 2025, adding a demonstrated income component to an already versatile property. Outside, the established residential grounds occupy approximately half an acre and have been carefully maintained with mature lawn, underground sprinklers and numerous mature trees providing shade, privacy and a sense of permanence that takes decades to create. White three-rail vinyl fencing defines the entrance and residential grounds, transitioning to a combination of split-rail and metal fencing throughout the balance of the property. For the horse owner, the property is ready to use. A 150' x 250' outdoor roping arena anchors the equestrian improvements. Four covered and sided stalls include runs with water, with additional fenced areas surrounding the stalls and barn for turnout and livestock management. Covered hay storage is located along the rear of the shop/barn, while perimeter fencing surrounds the entire property. The layout was also designed with trucks and trailers in mind. A large circular driveway provides generous parking and easy maneuverability, minimizing the need to back trailers into confined spaces. Perhaps most appealing is the room that remains. With the residence and landscaped grounds utilizing only a portion of the 4.46± acres, the majority of the property remains available for additional horse facilities, pasture, recreation, storage or future improvements tailored to the next owner's vision. Few properties near Dillon combine this level of historic character, mature grounds, established equestrian infrastructure, multiple living spaces and room to grow. From the story of the original rectory to the mountain views, horse facilities and flexible accommodations, this is a property with a character and functionality all its own.
