Embodying the quiet freedom of northwest Montana's big sky country, this 5,100-square-foot ranch home offers an expansive escape resting on 5 level acres in the scenic cradle of the Flathead Valley. The property directly frames the jagged skyline of the northern Swan Mountain Range, placing the alpine ridge of Mount Aeneas squarely in your morning view. Inside, country living meets refined architectural scale under a central great room with high vaulted ceilings and raw, exposed timber beams. Broad picture windows pull the shifting colors of the valley meadows right indoors, where a large breakfast bar creates a central gathering space in a kitchen rich with solid wood cabinetry, extensive counter space, and stainless steel appliances. Designed for quiet separation, the main floor layout features a private primary bedroom suite acting as its own quiet wing, complete with a walk-in tile shower, deep jetted tub, and a private door that steps directly onto a sprawling, paved back terrace. The rest of the 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath floor plan unfolds with country utility in mind, offering a main-level laundry center alongside an expansive downstairs daylight basement. This versatile lower level includes a newly finished ceiling overhead, a natural tongue-and-groove walled media room, a dedicated home gym area, and a private guest or multi-generational layout with a full secondary bathroom and its own kitchenette. Outside, the property is undergoing fresh exterior upgrades, including refreshed front entry pavers that welcome you to the home. The cleared acreage gives way to a custom stone fire pit for gathering under the stars, an attached three-car garage bay, and a covered patio supported by rugged timber logs. While offering complete rural privacy, the estate is exceptionally well-connected to the valley’s vibrant towns. You are located just 10 minutes east of downtown Kalispell, 15 minutes north of the artistic community of Bigfork and the pristine waters of Flathead Lake, and an easy 25-minute drive south of Whitefish Mountain Resort and Glacier Park International Airport.
