Your Montana Basecamp: 4.5 Acres, Log Home & Endless Adventure Awaits Wake up in the mountains and fall asleep to the sound of nature. This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom log home sits on 4.5 usable acres in one of Montana's most sought-after outdoor playgrounds — offering the rare combination of privacy, self-sufficiency, and true adventure at your doorstep. Inside, comfortable log-home charm meets year-round livability. Outside, this property is built for people who actually use their land: a spacious Quonset shop/garage with electrical (perfect for equipment, projects, or storage), a separate one-car garage, and three additional sheds give you room for every tool, toy, and hobby. A productive well and full-home generator mean you're covered no matter the season — this is a property that lets you live comfortably, off-grid-capable, and worry-free. Light covenants protect your investment without the hassle of a heavy-handed HOA, and community river access puts fishing, floating, and cooling off just minutes away. Location is everything here. You're close to the historic Izaak Walton Inn, minutes from an Amtrak whistle stop for easy travel in and out, and surrounded by some of the most iconic wilderness in the country — Glacier National Park (just 30 minutes to either the east or west entrance), the Great Bear Wilderness, the Bob Marshall Wilderness, and the Middle Fork of the Flathead River. Year-round maintained highway access means you're never cut off, and Kalispell — with all its shopping, dining, and amenities — is about an hour away. Whether you're dreaming of a full-time residence, a seasonal escape, or an income-producing getaway near one of America's most visited national parks, this is a rare chance to own a true Montana recreational retreat. Come experience it for yourself — properties like this don't come along often.
