About This Home

Experience Montana’s wild beauty and western charm on this 4.31-acre property at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, with panoramic views of the Swan Mountains. A cozy log cabin, built on site and offered mostly furnished, sits near corrals, round pens, and a well-equipped barn—perfect for horse lovers and those seeking a more self-sustained lifestyle. The 1,002 sq ft log cabin includes a main-level bedroom, a lofted second bedroom with a balcony overlooking the horse facilities, and one full bath. Outside, you'll find a fenced garden, greenhouse with drip system, chicken coop, two RV hook-ups, and a quality pole barn with two paddocks, hay storage, and tack room. A seasonal creek and rare, natural spring-fed pond add to the charm and utility of the land, while adjacent state trust lands -(100 acres), offer endless opportunities for trail riding with your horses. Bonus opportunity: A contiguous, riverfront parcel is also available, MLS 30046169, allowing buyers the chance to purchase both properties together for a remarkable and expanded Montana legacy retreat. Whether you're seeking a full-time homestead, a seasonal getaway, or a basecamp for Montana adventures, this special place delivers. A short drive brings you to Bigfork Village for dining, arts, and community, with outdoor recreation in every direction—Jewel Basin, Swan River, Flathead Lake, the Bob Marshall Wilderness, Glacier National Park, Whitefish Mountain Resort, Eagle Bend Golf Course, and more.
