855 HUNTER LANE, COLUMBIA FALLS, MT 59912

When searching for the charm of a Montana mountain home, one envisions waterfront, at the edge of wilderness, with privacy, a crackling fire and animals as neighbors. What an opportunity to live in a spot which offers all of the outdoors, while wrapping you in quiet warmth at the end of the day. Whether your ideal getaway means hiking out your door, dawn patrol for a backcountry ski morning, riding your bike on a loop through Glacier National Park or listening to live outdoor music - you'll be in striking distance of your dream, every single day. This isn't just a home but a basecamp for you and your closest, with Duck Lake at your feet and National Forest Service land as your backyard. Step inside the unassuming home to be welcomed by an impressive, two-sided, full cobblestone fireplace (the same rocks found in Lake McDonald and photographed by thousands). Natural materials surround you with pine and maple floors under foot, pine trim and wainscoting throughout, pine countertops in the kitchen and antler shed pull knobs. On Golden Pond? Well, on Duck Lake but...you get the idea. At sunset, glide in your canoe while the loons enchant you. This is the romance of Montana mountain living. In addition to the main house, a self-contained, 200 sq. ft. guest cottage will have your guests feeling spoiled. Who's expecting a set from an English novel-turned-movie, at the edge of the mountains? A greenhouse/garden shed has been designed to provide the optimal space for storage and for starting your plantings and creating arrangements from seasonal enjoyment. Only 7 minutes to Columbia Falls, 25 minutes to Whitefish, 5 minutes to the Blankenship Bridge Flathead River access, and 15 minutes to Glacier National Park - you will be tucked away from the busyness of the season, yet at a head start to all of the adventure destinations of the area.
