About This Home
River Frontage! Chance of a lifetime to own over 4 park-like acres with 550 feet of level frontage on the tranquil banks of the Swan River abutting conservation. The perfect blend of privacy and natural beauty offering expansive views from your riverside terrace of the Swan Mountains, open meadows, towering Ponderosas, mature birch, shimmering aspen trees, and vibrant perennial beds. If you're an outdoor enthusiast, this is a dream come true, offering direct access for fishing, kayaking, tubing, and viewing an abundance of natural wildlife, including deer, fox, ducks, hummingbirds, and eagles. You are minutes from the charming village of Bigfork, the 27-hole Eagle Bend Golf Course, and the majestic shores of Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi. Easy access to Lakeside, Whitefish, Kalispell, Blacktail Mountain, Bob Marshall Wilderness, and Glacier National Park offers year-round recreational adventures including golf, boating, hiking, biking, and skiing. Air travel is 30 miles away at the recently expanded and renovated Glacier Park International Airport, or travel by car a few hours north across the Canadian border to Calgary or south to Big Sky and Yellowstone National Park. The architect-designed, custom two-bedroom home features vaulted tongue and groove ceilings, and a south-facing covered porch that offers wide-angle, long-distance views of the river and Crane Mountain. Oversized windows provide scenic vistas in all directions, flooding the open, vaulted ceiling living area with natural light. Easy living with first-floor primary bedroom and wood floors throughout. Adjacent patio for grilling. Plenty of storage space in the oversized garage and storage shed with a carpenter's bench. Large fenced area with raised beds for vegetables and a flower garden. Rare opportunity to build a four-bedroom main house on the property with stunning mountain and river views (county permit approved). South-side abutting property is protected by a conservation easement. The property is part of the highly desirable Swan Sites Association, with private access off Rainbow Drive and Moon Drive to the gated Swan Lake access through the community common area - perfect for picnicking, launching your watercraft, or relaxing on the shoreline. This is the lifestyle you’ve been waiting for – an invitation to experience the best of Montana living. Call today to schedule your private showing and claim your piece of Montana’s paradise!
