Spend a dream vacation at a one-of-a-kind, luxury home! You'll have a PRIVATE ENTRANCE and the entire UPPER LEVEL of this 4000 sq. ft. home. Other guests may be enjoying the separate lower suite during your stay. The home overlooks Flathead Lake and is on 14 acres surrounded by federally protected land providing endless hours of private adventure. Walk to bars, restaurants and live music in minutes. Swim/kayak in the lake across the road or launch a boat at the nearby State Park plus much more! Almost entirely newly renovated, this rustic modern Montana home perches above Flathead Lake. The views and sunsets from the property are absolutely stunning . After a day of exploration, take in the views from the private patio while you enjoy a meal you prepared in the fully equipped, gourmet kitchen. Or instead, walk down the steep driveway to one of the neighborhood restaurants for a local meal. The land is rugged, natural Montana terrain. This is an amazing place for families and children to experience, however the surrounding area is not safe for toddlers or young children to wonder around unsupervised. Not only are parts uneven and steep, but there has been a black bear (beautiful and non-aggressive) and at night, cougars, spotted on the property in the past. We have a large yard out front where our neighbor is boarding his beautiful horse, Freedom. Please do not enter the yard with Freedom, but you may approach the fence and feed him apples if you like. He loves them! There are ruins from an old stone homestead in the front yard and the once indoor fireplace still stands and is available to use. This fireplace is a great place to gather in the evenings for marshmallow roasting and good conversation. Who doesn't love an outdoor fire? We already set up some chairs and a table for you. We also have a new fire pit addition with Adirondack chairs on the terraced decking. It is our hope that this can be communal space for all guests. We own over 140’ of private lake access right in front of our house across the road. There is also a public access point for our neighborhood just a few hundred feet down the road which is a great place to put in a kayak or SUP. It is also a place many families enter for swimming as well. IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE WATER FOR SWIMMING ON OUR PROPERTY, ONE MUST DESCEND A NATURAL STAIRCASE MADE FROM BOULDERS ON THE RETAINING WALL. THERE IS NO RAILING SO IT MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR SOME PEOPLE. From the back of the house, there are hiking trails that lead to lakes for fishing or swimming. These trails are very private as the state lands surrounding our land are almost impossible to access from anywhere other than our property. Where else can you have millions of acres of solitary hiking right out your door? Don't forget your compass and bear spray! The living/dining/kitchen are all together in an open plan living space with spectacular lake views. There is a smart TV with streaming services such as Netflix and a DVD player with lots of movies to choose from. We also have plenty of board and card games there to keep you busy if that is your thing. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need including a hand mixer for baking a cake! We thought of everything! We even have some of the most common spices on hand for to make it easier to cook your favorite dishes while you are here. The master bedroom has a king bed along with a foldout sofa. The sofa bed is more like a large modern futon and is really only suitable for one adult, however 2 kids would fit fine. There is a sliding glass door leading out to a wraparound deck from the master where we have some outdoor furniture. There is a queen bed in the second bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room. The sofa bed in the living room is a queen size and is good quality with a nice mattress. Off of the kitchen, there is a deck with a gas grill and a large table and chairs. Eating outside there in the summer is just dreamy. We do it every night.
