3717 Creekwood Road Missoula, MT 59802

This is the kind of property in the Rattlesnake that stands out immediately and then stays with you. Set along Rattlesnake Creek and backed by a stretch of natural landscape, the setting is quiet, private, and a step removed, while still being fully connected to one of Missoula’s most sought-after neighborhoods. The home itself was taken down to the studs and rebuilt with intention throughout. Major systems including HVAC, electrical, windows, and roofing have all been addressed, while the floorplan was reworked to create a more open, connected living experience. What exists now is a clean, cohesive home designed to bring in light, improve flow, and better connect to the outdoors.

The main living space centers around a wall of windows that pulls the setting inside, while the kitchen is both functional and well thought out, anchored by a large island, an induction stove and two ovens, all designed to work as a true everyday space rather than just a showpiece. The primary suite carries that same approach, with direct access to a private enclosed patio that connects into a secondary fenced yard area, creating a secure and easy-flow outdoor setup that works especially well for pets.

The lower level expands the home in a meaningful way, with a large second living area, three additional bedrooms, and a Jack-and-Jill style bathroom. With walk-out access to the backyard and a partial kitchen already in place, the space offers flexibility for guests, extended living, or future expansion into a more complete secondary setup.

But what truly defines this property is how it lives outside. Rattlesnake Creek runs directly through the backyard, with a footbridge leading across to a more secluded portion of the lot. The back area and yard have been shaped into multiple usable spaces, from open lawn, to patio and fire pit areas, to an elevated deck that includes a jacuzzi facing the creek. It all creates a setting that invites daily use rather than occasional appreciation. From here, the connection to the larger trail system is seamless. Rattlesnake Creek forms the backbone of one of Missoula’s most established recreational corridors, offering miles of trails that begin with wide, gradual paths and extend into deeper forest and mountain terrain – and that trail system can be accessed just a couple of blocks away. It’s a rare combination of accessibility and immersion—something that becomes part of everyday life.

A custom-designed detached studio adds another layer of flexibility, offering a finished, climate-controlled space for work, guests, or creative use, positioned just far enough from the main home to feel separate while still connected to the property. A newly built multi-bay storage structure rounds out the improvements, providing practical space for gear, tools, and everything that comes with living in this part of Missoula.

Altogether, this is much more than a remodel. It’s a complete redesign of a property that has been fundamentally rethought, one where the home, the setting, and the surrounding landscape come together in a way that feels intentional, livable, and hard to replicate.
