Land with Home for Sale in Bigfork, Montana
172/178 Swanlea Rd S, Bigfork, MT 59911
A Northwest Montana Legacy Property. Where the crystal-clear waters of Patterson Creek feed the ever-moving Swan River, you'll discover one of the Flathead Valley's most extraordinary properties. Set on 1.78 acres (spanning two lots) with 217 feet of pristine Swan River frontage, this newly completed custom residence offers a rare setting, where mountain-fed waters, mature trees and vegetation, and timeless craftsmanship come together in perfect harmony. Thoughtfully designed to embrace its remarkable surroundings, every detail reflects the beauty of Montana. Massive hand-selected timber beams, Montana moss rock, water-rippled landscape boulders, Italian tile, hardwood floors, radiant in-floor heat, and walls of glass create warm, inviting spaces, where nature remains the centerpiece. The chef's kitchen is both elegant and functional, featuring premium Fulgor Milano appliances, a dramatic 4' x 9' granite island inspired by the movement of the river, a dedicated coffee and wine bar, pot filler, instant hot water, under-cabinet lighting, and abundant custom cabinetry. Two luxurious primary suites provide private retreats-one opening to a screened porch anchored by a stunning moss rock wood-burning fireplace, the other to a private deck with its own gas fireplace overlooking the surrounding landscape. Three flexible bonus rooms in the main dwelling, spa-inspired bathrooms, and generous gathering spaces offer exceptional versatility for family and guests. Outside, the experience is nothing short of extraordinary. Follow the private walking trail to the grandfathered dock. Launch a kayak, cast a line, or simply relax at The Point, where breathtaking 180-degree views showcase the ever-changing beauty of the Swan River. Surrounded by complimentary landscaping and the peaceful sounds of flowing water, every season offers a new way to enjoy this remarkable property. An oversized 2+ car garage, a large covered carport and storage area, and a comfortable separate studio guest suite with a kitchenette and full bathroom completes this rare offering. More than an exceptional home, this is a legacy property-an irreplaceable opportunity to own a truly unique slice of Montana's natural beauty, a property to be enjoyed for generations. Just minutes from the charming village of Bigfork, this property offers easy access to the best of Northwest Montana. Just beyond your private retreat await Flathead Lake, Eagle Bend Golf Club, Swan Lake, Glacier National Park, Glacier Park International Airport, Whitefish, and Whitefish Mountain Resort. Enjoy year-round recreation including boating, fishing, hiking, golfing, skiing, mountain biking, horseback riding, paddling, and countless other outdoor adventures. Broker is related to Seller.
