A five-bedroom, four-bathroom home on Austin Road in Helena hit the market this week with an asking price of $2,350,000 — one of the higher residential list prices to appear in the local market recently. The property at 7800 Austin Rd spans 5,016 square feet and was built in 2021, putting it among the newer large-footprint homes in the area.

The listing reflects the continued presence of upper-end inventory in the Helena market, where properties in this price range have found buyers despite broader affordability pressures facing first-time and mid-range home seekers in Lewis and Clark County.

At $2.35 million for a four-year-old home, the Austin Road property is priced at roughly $469 per square foot — a figure that tracks with high-end rural and semi-rural residential construction in the region. The Austin Road corridor runs east of Helena toward the foothills, an area that has drawn buyers seeking acreage and mountain views within a short drive of Last Chance Gulch.
