Description
The Swan River is the defining feature of this exceptional Montana property, where the sights and sounds of the river become part of everyday life. Set directly along the river on more than 3 acres at the end of Drifting Way, this beautifully designed residence is perched just above the water, surrounded by mature pines, expansive river frontage, and neighboring acres of state land. Here, the gentle rush of the rapids drifts upward through open windows, creating a remarkable sense of connection to the landscape. Designed for effortless one-level living, the home embraces its extraordinary setting with ample windows that look toward the Swan River, surrounding forest, and mountains. The open great room flows naturally from the beautifully appointed kitchen into the dining area and inviting living room, where a rock-accented wood-burning fireplace creates a warm focal point. Vaulted ceilings, granite, natural woods, and western-style hardwood floors add a sophisticated yet distinctly Montana character. The spacious primary suite and guest suite each offer private baths, while a versatile third room provides an ideal office, studio, or additional guest accommodations. In the primary bedroom, the sound of the river's gentle rapids provides a soothing backdrop for falling gently to sleep, or an embracing wake-up. Outdoor living is equally captivating. The expansive deck and extensive patio are thoughtfully positioned to take in the river and mountain views, offering an idyllic setting for morning coffee, summer entertaining, or simply listening to the water move through the landscape. The level acreage, mature pines, river frontage, and adjoining state land create an uncommon sense of privacy and space. An oversized detached double garage accommodates vehicles, boats, trailers, and all the equipment that comes with a Montana lifestyle. Just minutes from downtown Bigfork, this remarkable Swan River retreat offers something increasingly rare: direct connection to a wild and beautiful river, complete privacy, and a warm, elegant home designed to experience it all year round. Less than 45 minutes to Glacier Park International airport, an hour drive to Whitefish Mountain Resort or Glacier Park, a short drive to Flathead or Swan Lake, and an easy drive to additional shopping in Kalispell.
