Where legacy meets wilderness! An iconic 14,228 SF lodge with five additional homes on nearly 60 acres of hayfields, forest, fenced pasture, and trails. A rare Montana sanctuary and compound built for gathering, roaming, and living fully immersed in nature. Plaid Swan Ranch is among the most distinguished estates in the Flathead Valley, representing a magnificent offering where cinematic legacy and Montana's raw natural beauty converge. Encompassing nearly 60 acres of pristine land at the base of the Swan Mountain Range, this exceptional property includes fabulous views of Jewel Basin, one of northwest Montana's most unique hiking areas. Just 30 miles from Glacier Park International Airport and a short drive from the vibrant village of Bigfork, this property is an exceptional haven for those who value both seclusion and proximity to vibrant community life. At its center stands an extraordinary 14,228 square foot, chalet-style main residence inspired by the iconic McDonald Lake Lodge in Glacier National Park. Designed with a refined, upscale mountain style and decorated to represent a European hunting lodge, this architectural masterpiece showcases a breathtaking great room of more than 2,000 square feet, with soaring 27-foot vaulted ceilings and an impressive stone fireplace that doubles as a rock-climbing wall. Blending luxury and function, the home is set up for unforgettable entertaining and features a sunroom with fossil stone floors and exquisite hand-painted ceiling murals, elegant marble-floored dining areas, a custom-designed theater, an expansive wine cellar accommodating approximately 2,900 bottles, multiple balconies and patios, whole-house speakers and smart lighting automation, an elevator servicing all levels, and countless refined and romantic touches throughout. Beyond the main residence, the estate offers a wealth of additional accommodations and amenities. These include a 2BD/1BA carriage house apartment attached to the main residence; a 2BD/1BA caretaker's cottage; two charming 1BD/1BA guest chalets; a 2BD/1BA fairytale-like cottage, enchanting visitors with its storybook character; and a 1BD/2BA ranch house. A 4,200-square-foot, 4-stall stable complements the property, alongside cross-fenced pastures, a private trout-stocked pond, Finnish sauna, scenic walking trails, a greenhouse, chicken coop, and an array of outbuildings that include a heated generator house and loafing sheds. Approximately 20 acres are dedicated to dryland hay, with another 20 acres of mature forest, while the remaining acreage encompasses barns, pastures, manicured landscaping, and residences, all seamlessly connected by a winding paved driveway, adorned with wired lamp posts, that ensures privacy and effortless access throughout the estate. No expense was spared in developing this remarkable property, which features superior infrastructure and exceptional versatility for a wide range of uses. Whether envisioned as an exclusive family compound, an equestrian paradise, a retreat space, a luxurious wedding venue, or a serene wellness sanctuary, Plaid Swan Ranch presents a rare opportunity to own a true Montana legacy estate -- one that stands as a masterful fusion of history, refined design, and enduring beauty. This property is offered turn-key with exclusions and enjoys the benefits of no HOA or CC&Rs. Plaid Swan Ranch is not merely a property, but an invitation to embrace the grandeur, serenity, and boundless possibilities that define the Montana dream.
