Welcome to the kind of home people daydream about while stuck in traffic. Perched on a premium, conservation-backed lot in the Miller Creek area, this custom Basolo-built stunner isn’t just a house, it’s a lifestyle upgrade. With sweeping views of Lolo Peak and Blue Mountain, trails right out your back gate, and the occasional actual wild horse wandering by to say hello (yes, really), this place blends polished design with straight-up Montana magic. Let’s start with the backyard — because it’s that good. The covered patio is equal parts outdoor lounge, dinner party HQ, and peaceful refuge. With custom privacy slats, ambient string lighting, a ceiling fan, a porch swing, and an ideal fire pit location that begs for s’mores and star-gazing, this is where summer evenings become core memories. The landscaping is dialed-in too, with fresh young trees, a lush fenced yard, and that open space just beyond, protected as HOA grounds so your views and elbow room are here to stay. Inside, the layout is just as thoughtful. A true single-level living design gives you everyday function without compromise. The great room boasts vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace, and massive windows that pull the outdoors in. The kitchen? A culinary command center. A huge central island anchors the space, surrounded by granite counters, stainless appliances, custom cabinetry, and storage galore — all under soft pendant lighting that sets the perfect tone from morning coffee to late-night chats. The main-floor primary suite is a retreat unto itself: oversized, sunlit, and with a slider straight to the patio (go ahead, sneak out with that book and glass of wine). The en suite bathroom brings spa-day energy, with a deep soaking tub, gorgeous custom-tiled walk-in shower, double vanity, and a layout that feels more boutique hotel than suburban standard. Upstairs, the bonus suite over the garage is a surprisingly generous fourth bedroom with its own private bathroom — perfect for guests, a home office, a serious creative studio, or those who just need a little further detachment from the rest of the house. Rounding it out: two additional large bedrooms and a full guest bath on the main level, a spacious mudroom/laundry area with extra shelving, transom windows throughout for that airy light flow, and a triple garage with plenty of room for vehicles, gear, and weekend projects. Set on a wide, quiet street in one of Missoula’s most peaceful neighborhoods, where trailheads outnumber traffic lights and views are just part of the daily routine, 6838 Sophie Dr delivers comfort, character, and charm in every square foot. This isn’t just your next house. It’s your next chapter.
