Some properties simply feel like Montana. Tucked beneath mature pines in the desirable Foothills area, this 1.25-acre property borders Montana State Land along its entire eastern boundary. Step through the back gate to hike, hunt, horseback ride, or Nordic ski along miles of trails through forested state land. A beautiful creek lies approximately 100 feet beyond the rear property line, while peekaboo mountain views, abundant wildlife, and a quiet neighborhood add to the peaceful setting. A gated driveway winds through the trees to a 3-bedroom, 1-bath home with a functional layout and plenty of potential. Fresh flooring and paint, along with updates to the kitchen and bathroom, would give the home an entirely new look and allow the next owner to personalize it to their taste. The level, usable acreage has supported extensive gardens and homestead livestock, with years of work invested in improving the soil. There is space for gardens, a small horse or livestock setup, equipment, and future outbuildings. Deer and other wildlife are frequent visitors, and the neighboring state land creates an exceptional sense of space and privacy without the upkeep of a large parcel. Located within convenient reach of Kalispell, Bigfork, Flathead Lake, and the broader Flathead Valley, this property offers a rare combination of outdoor access, homestead potential, privacy, and genuine Montana character. Bring your ideas and make this special place your own.
