PROPERTY FACTS PHOTOS SHARE

The Flathead Valley is composed of lakes, green meadows, lush timber, quaint towns and awe-inspiring views of the Mission and Swan Mountain Ranges. These mountain ranges burst from the valley floor and reach heights of 10,000 feet above sea level and act as guardians of the Bob Marshall Wilderness and Glacier National Park. These guardians with snow-capped peaks, green meadows and lush timbered slopes protect a world lost in time and untouched by mankind. Naturalists refer to this wild and scenic area as the “Crown of the Continent,” which touts the most intact ecosystem in the “Lower 48.”

Welcome to the Swan Meadows Retreat, 40± acres situated at the base of the Swan Mountain Range and within walking distance from Echo Lake. Enjoy the 2,600 square foot residence with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, guest cottage, greenhouse, entertainment pavilion, workshop and storage barn. Grassy meadows, pockets of timber and scenic views provide the perfect spot to enjoy your Montana dream. Enjoy panoramic views of the Swan Mountains and imagine the world behind the wall of snow-capped peaks. Plenty of room to raise horses and not feel cramped. The topography is reasonably flat, but the property feels larger than 40± acres due to the privacy created by the meadows and timber.

The Swan Meadows Retreat is a perfect spot to settle, relax and enjoy friends and family. Situated close to the quaint town of Bigfork, a town that offers so much in dining, recreation and the pure ambiance of small-town living, yet it is still close to the thriving city of Kalispell.
