Rare Montana Lakefront Retreat! Nestled on the shores of McCaffery Lake, this extraordinary 9-acre property offers approximately 350 feet of private lake frontage, beautifully landscaped grounds, and sweeping mountain views—all just minutes from Bigfork. The thoughtfully designed 5-bedroom, 2-bath home features a bright, open layout with large windows that showcase the views, new LVP flooring (2018), and a remodeled kitchen (2019) highlighted by marble countertops and stainless steel appliances. The dining area boasts a tongue-and-groove ceiling, while the cozy wood stove adds warmth and charm. The daylight walkout basement enjoys stunning lake views and offers flexible living space, complete with another wood stove, perfect for guest quarters, multigenerational living, or a private retreat. A separate 1-bedroom, 1-bath guest house expands the possibilities, whether you’re hosting guests, offering extended stays, or generating rental income. Outside, the property is equally impressive with a heated double garage, an insulated workshop, RV parking, and a large greenhouse. A fenced garden produces raspberries, grapes, and more, while mature trees—including apple, choke cherry, pear, plum, chestnut, elm, Norway maples, and lilacs—create a vibrant, park-like setting. With gently rolling pastures and fencing already in place, this property is also ideal for horses, with room to add a barn or corrals if desired. Whether you’re fishing for trout and bass on McCaffery Lake, tending to your orchard and garden, riding through the fields, or simply soaking in the peace and wildlife that surround you, this rare retreat offers the perfect balance of privacy, practicality, and Montana beauty.
