On the way to the legendary horse race between 1894’s two fastest horses in the country, Marcus Daly told his horse, Tammany, that if he won the race, he would build him a castle. Tammany won, and true to his word, Marcus Daly did just that. Tammany Castle was completed in 1897.

Daly, one of the most recognized of that era’s copper kings, chose the Bitterroot Valley of Montana to develop his future 28,000 acre Stock Farm due to the mild climate and timber resources protected by the Bitterroot Range of the Rockies. Following his dream, between 1890 and 1900 his Stock Farm bred over 1,000 thoroughbreds and trotter horses, which resided on the property.

Today, Tammany’s castle is a residence that will be much sought after by those who enjoy horse racing, but also those who are devoted to preserving history for the enjoyment and use of future generations. Restored to perfection, this one-of-a-kind estate has every possible modern attribute while retaining its historical elements such as the indoor brick and elegant stall doors that are fit for today’s equestrian royalty as well as the royalty of times past. The architecture is characterized by the two huge cupolas that cast sunlight over the upstairs bedrooms and deep dormers offering views of the land. Now scaled down to a manageable 11.54 acres, this 5,400sf home has 2 master suites on the main floor and 2 guest suites on the second floor. The main dining and living areas are located in the conservatory that runs the full length of the house with massive arched windows overlooking the restored formal gardens. The kitchen is huge and elegant with its dark wood cabinetry including a five section hutch that runs the length of one wall. Notable features include the exquisite color and pattern of the marble used and the professional French range. There is also a butler’s pantry and a library that was once Tammany’s own stall.

Luxury residence that began with the 1984 legendary horse race of Tammany vs Lamplighter. Priced at $2.95m.
