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.
