About this property

Exceptional lakefront estate settled on one of Northwest Montana’s hidden gems, Little Bitterroot Lake! With 246 feet of pristine shoreline, this estate is exquisitely designed inside and out and built for effortless Montana lakeside living. This architecturally refined 3BD/3BA Huntsman-style home offers 3,188 SF of living space on a private peninsula, with 180-degree lake views from the kitchen, dining, living room, and master suite. Completed in 2016 by Mindful Designs, this residence showcases intentional craftsmanship throughout, from Montana Moss Rock and rough-cut cedar siding to knotty alder T&G ceilings and a soaring vaulted great room. A temperature-controlled greenhouse adjoins the home for gardening endeavors. The chef's kitchen is appointed with high-end Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, an oversized Boos butcher block island, black leather granite countertops, and a butler's pantry with pullout shelving. A stunning Montana Moss Rock fireplace anchors the space as it flows seamlessly into open-plan dining and living. Indoor-outdoor living is effortless via French doors and a full accordion glass wall opening to a 1,678 SF L-shaped stone patio - complete with a fire pit, hot tub hookups, and an outdoor shower. Designed for effortless full-time or seasonal living, the home features integrated whole-house systems engineered to operate seamlessly whether you are in residence or away. Step outside along a natural boulder path through preserved ancient ponderosa pines to your private shoreline. A 735 SF, 7-section dock features two slips with a gentle slope dropping to 30-40 ft depth, ideal for boating, swimming, and world-class fishing. Salmon exceeding 21 lbs. have been landed on the lake, and bald eagle sightings are common. A truly private retreat set near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with MT state lands steps away, a 7.8-acre HOA common area, and Little Bitterroot Lake itself - secured by a custom driveway gate. Glacier National Park and Whitefish Mountain Resort nearby, where 4-season recreation awaits! Encompassing nearly 3,000 acres with more than 11 miles of shoreline, Little Bitterroot Lake is treasured for its peaceful atmosphere, exceptional water clarity, and authentic Montana character. Forested hills, mountain views, and the call of loons across the water create a setting that feels worlds away from the crowds and commercial development found on larger resort lakes. Known for its rich blue waters and excellent fishing, the lake is home to Kokanee salmon, rainbow trout, yellow perch, and bass, making it a favorite destination for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Calm waters invite kayaking and paddleboarding, while boating, swimming, and ice fishing provide year-round recreation. A public boat launch and Kelsey Cummings Park add convenience without compromising the lake’s low-density, private feel. At approximately 3,900 feet elevation and with a maximum depth nearing 280 feet, Little Bitterroot Lake offers a uniquely serene lakefront lifestyle defined by wilderness, recreation, and privacy. Whether seeking a peaceful retreat, legacy lake property, or authentic Montana living immersed in nature, this setting captures the essence of quiet mountain lake life.
