About 213 Shining Mountains Loop Road
Whether you're seeking a vacation retreat, retirement property, or year-round residence, this thoughtfully finished home in the coveted Shining Mountains subdivision blends comfort, craftsmanship, and world-class Montana recreation. Set in the foothills ten miles south of Ennis, it looks out across the valley to the mountains beyond.
The inviting great room is anchored by a stunning wood-burning river rock fireplace and warmed by wide-plank Arrigoni engineered oak flooring. The showpiece kitchen features Belgian bluestone counters, a full-height 4x16 subway-tile backsplash, a gas range with ducted hood, and antiqued Nova blue tile in a classic Versailles pattern flowing through the dining and entry. The primary suite offers an Arrigoni wood accent wall and a spa-inspired bath with heated Schluter floors, while designer lighting—a Restoration Hardware pendant and Ralph Lauren chandelier—elevates the main spaces. Lutron dimmers, central air, spray-foam insulation, and fiber internet complete the package.
The detached garage doubles as a versatile bunkhouse with a ¾ bath and instant hot water, plus propane heat, plumbed compressed air, and an 80-gallon compressor. Outside, a six-person spa, plumbed outdoor shower and tub, greenhouse, and storage buildings round out the grounds.
The setting is the crown jewel: Varney Bridge access on the world-renowned Madison River, exclusive owner privileges at the stocked Haypress Lakes, and direct access to surrounding BLM and National Forest lands for fishing, boating, hiking, and hunting. This is Montana living at its finest.
