About this property

ABC acres' Gate House - Agritourism & Adventure in Montana's Bitterroot Valley!

(Please note there are four separate and unique rental homes on the property, please see Vrbo listings: Guest House 897625, Yellow Farmhouse 2771749, & Range View Cabin 2066081)

ABC acres is a permaculture farm in the Bitterroot Valley of Western Montana. Sustainable food production, healthy living systems, and ecological design is what we are all about. Our chickens, goats, and newly buzzing honeybee populations are out on open pasture, eating, resting, pollinating and living the way nature intended.

Much like our livestock family, our vegetables, herbs, fruits and nuts are grown with the same approach. It’s a mixture of annuals and perennials intertwined with pollinator species, companion plantings, and multi-structured food forests…. nature’s way… a way of ensuring diversity, reducing disease, and increasing harvest for an overall healthy farm.

The Gate House at ABC acres was built in September 2015. Offering two dedicated bedrooms, two full bathrooms, comfortable living space, and a functional kitchen, the Gate House sits at approx 1200 sqft. Built with 2x6 framing and non-toxic spray foam insulation, the structure boasts R-30 in the walls and over R-50 in the ceiling. The structure was built with no-VOC’s both inside and out, which speaks to the underlying theme of healthy environments that pervade the Farm estate. The space offers forced heat for your comfort, complete with HEPA filtration for high quality interior air all season long. Water supplied to the space originates from a well 90’ below the ground. To ensure a clean, healthy drinking / bathing experience, all water is routed through an iron filtration system then finally through an ‘Alive Water’ system to reinvigorate & re-energize the water at all points of use. On the exterior, a large pergola is situated on the South side for your use, complete with picnic table, BBQ and adjoining firepit. To the north, a concrete patio is situated just off the garage, while overlooking our newly planted fruit trees and enclosed dog area.

The Gate House is situated towards the back of the farm property. Occasionally farm staff will be witnessed coming and going throughout the work-day, but otherwise the location sees little vehicle activity. Pin Cherries and Oak Trees line the drive on the east side. As a guest of the farm, and from the comfort of the East & South facing locals, you may witness farm staff running pasture irrigation, tractors navigating pastures, chickens and cattle roaming, elk & deer grazing at dusk and so much more. It is these on-farm experiences that give staying at the Gate House its charm.

Conveniently located just a few miles South of Hamilton, a short walk to the Bitterroot River, and bordered by picturesque farms and public lands, ABC acres provides an idyllic combination of wide-open spaces, wildlife, and outdoor adventure, while also remaining just minutes from the Valley’s small-town happenings.

Don’t hesitate to contact our Farm Stay Manager with any questions you might have, where/what you can explore, and how to best enjoy the abundance of on- and off-farm activities available. Beyond a place to simply rest your head, ABC acres is here to enhance your visit and help create memories for a lifetime.

Perfect Getaway
We had an amazing stay at the Gate House during our trip to Montana. It was super quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed taking walks exploring the property and visiting the farm shop (the honey is delicious). James was a wonderful host and always went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We’re looking forward to visiting again in the future!
