ANNIE PENTILLA

The land surrounding 26 Sugarloaf Road in the Rader Creek area of White-hall will remind you of why Montana is called the Big Sky State.

Located about 5 miles southwest of Whitehall as the crow flies, the home and the sweeping grassy landscape that surrounds it reads like a pastoral oil painting.

As you make your way to the home on a gravel road, the three-bedroom house suddenly appears on the horizon — a ruddy, family-style home situated amid an expanse that seems to go on forever, canopied by a blue sky where, every now and then, a storm rolls in with clouds that seem to hold up the sky like buttresses.

Farther, as you enter the property, you might see a pen where the current homeowners keep two ducks and two chickens, one red and the other black.

To the west you’ll find the Highlands and to the southeast you’ll see the jag-ged outline of the Tobacco Root Moun-tains as they rise dramatically from the valley where the home is nestled.

And perhaps most dramatic of all, especially if you’ve driven to the locale from Butte, is the peace and quiet. It’s the kind of place where you can take a moment and listen to the breeze, no matter how slight.

By now you may be thinking 26 Sug-arloaf Road is some kind of Zen oa-sis, but it’s actually the home of Kim Kingston and Clayton Surina.

Surina said he and his wife have seven children, so hosting family functions in the home was always a lot of fun. The home offered plenty of space to entertain their extended fam-ily, he said, with wives, girlfriends and

grandchildren included.For Surina, the home’s biggest

asset is its natural setting.“It’s got beautiful views,” he

said. “It’s just a real, nice quiet place.”

The two-story, 2,570 square-foot home has two-and-a-half baths and new updates through-out and has an open concept in more ways than one. It sits on more than 20 acres, boasts an undivided floorplan on the lower level and has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams that’s well over 15 feet tall. The vertical space and the openness on the first floor, plus plenty of sun-shine, imbue the home with an airy, peaceful feel.

Downstairs you’ll find the mas-ter suite, where you can wake up to scenic views. Yet more relax-ation awaits in the suite’s jetted tub and walk-in shower. Mean-while, you’ll be able to store a complete wardrobe in the suite’s walk-in closet.

Other highlights of the down-stairs include a bonus room that can be used as an office, large family room adjoining the kitchen and dining area, a half bath, and a kitchen that features a center island.

As you make your way upstairs, you’ll be greeted by a staircase that’s adorned with a railing fash-ioned after the trunk of an aspen or birch tree.

Once you reach the top, you’ll find a loft-style sitting area that overlooks the lower level. Here the exposed beams feature prom-inently and give the upper level a unique edge. Two bedrooms reside on the upper level, along with a full bath.

Built in 2005, the asking price for the home is $409,900. Other highlights of the property include tile and carpet flooring, a three-car detached garage and a covered patio with mountain views.

Listing agent Britney Schilling of Butte’s Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices has a personal connection to the home.

Kingston and Surina are her mother- and father-in-law, and

she says she has many memories of family barbecues, outdoor fires and playing in the property’s dual

horseshoe pit.“It was a good time,” she said,

reflecting on the experience, add-

ing that the property provides quietude without being too far from the comforts of city living.

“It’s a nice place to get out and just get away from town,” she said.
