10 Bear Dance Village Bigfork, MT 59911

Introducing The Gallatin at Bear Dance Village — an architectural statement where Old-World European design meets the rugged beauty of Montana. Located within the exclusive gated enclave of Bear Dance Village on the shores of Flathead Lake in Bigfork, this waterfront residence offers 2 bedrooms, 4 baths, a private deeded dock in Bigfork Bay, and a rooftop terrace with views.
Designed with a distinctive European Craftsman aesthetic, the exterior showcases massive reclaimed timber beams, copper gutters, faux brick chimneys, and gas-lit lanterns. Hand-sculpted landscaping features iconic 10-foot Dancing Bear sculptures by renowned Montana artist Bob Stayton.
A Home Designed for Movement & Elevation: This residence spans three thoughtfully designed levels plus a rooftop deck. It features beautiful architectural staircases connecting each floor, offering a dynamic, vertical living experience ideal for an active buyer who appreciates multi-level living. A private elevator services all levels — including the rooftop terrace — providing convenience when desired while maintaining the integrity and charm of the stair-forward design.
Inside, artisanal finishes elevate every space. Hand-applied Venetian plaster walls reflect natural light, complemented by wide-plank French white oak flooring and Turkish fossil stone. Imported Blue Palomino Quartz with sky-blue veining pairs beautifully with Sandulus “Petrified Wood” Quartz for a refined yet organic aesthetic. Barrel-vaulted ceilings and expansive floor-to-ceiling glass create dramatic architectural presence.
The chef’s kitchen features premium Thermador and Miele appliances, an entertainment bar, and artisan-crafted Rohl fixtures. The open-concept main living area is designed for gathering and entertaining, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces.
Dual primary suites offer spa-inspired baths with steam showers and deep soaking tubs. One suite is located on the main level, while the second occupies an upper floor with a Juliet balcony overlooking the living space below. Above it all, the private rooftop deck captures sweeping lake and mountain views — a true showpiece for summer evenings and sunset entertaining.
Built for Montana’s four-season lifestyle, the home includes radiant floor heating throughout and a commercially rated Mitsubishi Multicity HVAC system for precise climate control.
Residents enjoy fitness amenities, private storage for bikes and water toys, and walkable access to Bigfork Village’s galleries, boutiques, dining, breweries, and performances at the nationally recognized Bigfork Summer Playhouse. Outdoor recreation includes hiking in the Jewel Basin Hiking Area, golfing at Eagle Bend Golf Club, skiing at Whitefish Mountain Resort or Blacktail Mountain Ski Area, and exploring Glacier National Park. Glacier Park International Airport is approximately 30 minutes away.
