Built in 1899, this historic landmark is also the original home of Colonel James McGowan, founder of Wild Horse Plains, Montana.

Rebuilt and gradually remodeled since 2000, this historic home has a new metal roof, fenced yard, large driveway area…and is directly across the street from the Plains, Post Office. This house is not, nor has ever been in foreclosure.

The stained and painted front porch is rimmed by sturdy lodge pole columns. Recessed lighting illuminates the entire porch.

Double pane vinyl windows are installed throughout the approximately 2000 s/f home.

A new three rail fence with 6 x6 capped posts enclose the large driveway. This home has not yet been added to the Historic Register, but can be.

Below are photos of the kitchen entry with ceiling fan, back yard storage shed, refinished utility room off the kitchen , the unfinished basement, and front exterior shots. Appliances are included.  New vinyl floor in utility room. Basement photo shows new propane furnace, new electric water heater, old work bench and storage areas.

This fully insulated home has 4 bedrooms upstairs, separate living room, separate dining area, 1 additional small bedroom or office downstairs, large bath, and a partial basement. Wall to wall carpet throughout, except for one bedroom upstairs…anticipating an additional bathroom remodel in this space.

Because vintage homes did not have closets in every room, a smaller bedroom upstairs has been used as a large walk-in closet to service the three other second floor bedrooms. Shaded in summer by the surrounding canopy of trees. Propane furnace, washer/dryer, stove and refrigerator included.

New wiring throughout. New metal roof. Cable or Satellite TV and telephone jacks in most rooms.  Hey, there's even a phone hookup in the bathroom.

The home has elbow room from neighbors as the photos show. It's surrounded by large mature trees on a third of an acre, with 360 degree enclosed privacy in a fenced back yard. There is space for extra vehicle, boat or RV  parking… or a future two-car garage.
