Rarely does a property offer this distinctive combination of refined Montana living, privacy, and true in-town convenience. Located above the FOR Fine Art Gallery in the heart of the small village of Bigfork, this beautifully appointed, two-bedroom, two-bath condominium offers an effortless lifestyle for those who appreciate the pleasure of being where everything is happening-without giving up comfort or character. Upstairs and single-level, the residence is thoughtfully designed with vaulted, beamed ceilings, rich hardwood floors, knotty alder cabinetry, and striking custom copper countertops with bar seating. A contemporary gas fireplace creates a warm, inviting gathering space, complemented by a distinctive antler chandelier that adds just the right touch of Montana character. The overall aesthetic is sophisticated, warm, and unmistakably at home in Bigfork. One of the great pleasures of this property is its location. Step outside, and you are already in the village-close enough to enjoy Bigfork's galleries, restaurants, shops, events, and waterfront without getting in the car. Flathead Lake public access is just a short block away. Yet above the gallery, the residence feels removed from the activity below, offering a peaceful and private retreat at the end of the day. For those who understand the appeal of in-town living, this is a rare opportunity to have a beautiful home at the center of village life. Owners and gallery guests also enjoy exclusive use of a secluded, beautifully landscaped garden surrounding a flagstone patio with comfortable seating, dining space, stone accents, and BBQ grill. A secure storage area provides welcome space for kayaks, bicycles, and all the gear that comes with enjoying Montana's extraordinary outdoor lifestyle. For added flexibility, an on-site studio apartment is available by reservation for gallery artists and owners' guests on a short-term basis at a minimal fee. Bigfork is ideally situated for enjoying the best of the Flathead Valley, with hiking and biking, renowned dining, Flathead Lake, Eagle Bend Golf Club, Whitefish Mountain Resort, Glacier National Park, and countless other recreational and cultural attractions all within easy reach. Glacier Park International Airport is approximately a beautiful 30-minute drive away. A truly special Bigfork offering-elegant, easy, and wonderfully connected to village life and the remarkable Montana landscape beyond.
