Enjoy outstanding privacy & natural beauty from this cozy 1-bedroom getaway in 40 acres of forest, just 15 min SE of Bigfork. The 1361sf cabin’s bright, open lofted layout features a minimalist kitchen/dining area, sitting area with woodstove, main floor bedroom with walk-in closet, bathroom with clawfoot tub, & 2 loft spaces. It opens to a deck overlooking a stunning mix of larch, yew, aspen, pine, cedar, fir & cottonwood trees, with a babbling creek below & views of the Swan Mtns beyond. Thoughtfully designed for comfort & solitude, the home features an independent hand-pump well, cedar siding with local stone accents, metal roof & fire-resistant deck. A relaxing wood-fired sauna & outdoor shower on the back deck are delightful after taking advantage of the old trails. Protected by a conservation easement through the MT Land Reliance, the property offers lasting preservation with the potential to add another bedroom. A rare opportunity for seclusion, nature, & timeless Montana charm.
