Find your paradise in northwestern Montana. This 34-acre haven features awe-inspiring views that sweep across postcard-worthy bucolic countryside scenes, a national wildlife refuge, the snow-capped Mission Mountains, Flathead Lake and Glacier Park in the distance.
Welcome to Big Sky Country, where this custom-crafted multilevel home is a dream come true for those looking to find a private sanctuary of natural beauty and open spaces. Here you can create the ultimate family compound, hobby horse farm, vacation home or a popular income-producing rental.
This extraordinary property is priced under appraisal with an estimated monthly mortgage of about $4,900, less than the rent in much of the Bay Area. An incredible value for a rural parcel with no CCRs, a gated secure entry, private roadway, private well and all-underground power lines and utilities.
Off Highway 93, the major route from Las Vegas into Glacier National Park, the town of Polson sits smack on the south end of Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater body west of the Mississippi with 200 square miles of water and 185 miles of shoreline.
With a population of about 30,000 at an elevation of about 3,000 feet, Polson is flanked by the gorgeous Mission Mountain Range, and is less than a four-hour drive from Spokane and eight hours from Seattle. It’s equal distance from Kalispell or Missoula international airports, with flights from Oakland and San Jose International airports.
Glacier National Park, less than two hours from Polson, beckons nature lovers and adventurists alike with more than 700 miles of hiking trails, alpine meadows, ravines and valleys, the fast-disappearing ice glaciers, and spectacular glacial lakes.
Bay Area native and co-listing Realtor Annalisa Erickson relocated to this Montana town and is passionate about calling the area her forever home. Lisa is happy to share if you might be considering a move to the Mission Valley.
This home has a stately presence atop the hillside. Enjoy more than 2,700 square feet of living space with three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. The home comes with genuine solid hardwood floors, exposed-beam vaulted ceilings, Venetian hand-textured walls, a fireplace, extensive built-ins, cedar-lined closets, crown moldings, recessed lighting and multiple skylights. The upper floor is reserved for two bedrooms that share a full bathroom, an office/flex-use space and expansive decks from which to take in the even more spectacular views. A lower level has an additional bedroom and full bathroom with a private entry, a kitchen, radiant-heated floors, and a wood stove. Enjoy as a single-family home or close the door, creating two separate living units.
Additional features on the property include a pole barn, corral and tack room with power and water, 6 acres of perimeter and cross fencing, and an RV hookup. A two-car garage has a utility sink and work benches, and a basement has exterior and interior access.
There are plenty of acres left to build out or pasture goats, horses and llamas.
Shopping, dining and medical services are just minutes away, with public access to the lake. Additionally, northwestern Montana has superior ski areas plus snowmobiling, and riding and hiking recreation areas across the valley.
