About Hannon House

This charming farmhouse, designed in the timeless style of rural Montana, embodies the character and unique essence of this rare piece of history.

Situated at the confluence of the East Fork, West Fork, and Main Branch of the Bitterroot River, this extraordinary site offers the perfect balance of tranquility and adventure.
