Offering the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility, this 5-bedroom, 3-bath home sits on 5 beautifully wooded acres while remaining conveniently located between Whitefish and Kalispell. The upper level features an open-concept floor plan filled with abundant natural light, creating a warm and inviting living space. Also located on this level are two bedrooms, including the primary bedroom featuring a bay window with serene forest views, and a second bedroom with convenient access to an adjacent full bath. Downstairs, you'll find a spacious second living area with gas stove, three additional bedrooms, large laundry/utility room and storage. Originally built in 1986, the home has been thoughtfully updated over the years. Improvements completed between 2011 and 2014 include a remodeled kitchen, new roof, updated flooring, and exterior paint. Recent updates include new gutters (2025) and updates on the lower level including new flooring, doors, lighting, a fully renovated bathroom, water heater, and pressure tank (2026). Outdoor living is equally appealing with covered back deck, firepit, horseshoe pit, and raised garden beds—perfect for enjoying Montana's beautiful surroundings. State land access directly across the street provides endless opportunities for recreation and exploration right from your doorstep. With county approval, zoning allows for a guest house (not a second residence) and offers the potential for an additional access point from Conifer Lane. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, recreational retreat, or property with room to expand, this unique offering provides exceptional flexibility and privacy in a highly desirable location.
