Your Montana Mountain Retreat — Izaak Walton Area
Discover your Montana mountain retreat on a beautiful half-acre in the highly sought-after Izaak Walton area. This property offers an unmatched gateway to year-round recreation — all within walking distance of the historic Izaak Walton Inn, the Amtrak whistle-stop platform, Middle Fork Flathead River access, and the Great Bear Wilderness trail system. The nearby Walton Ranger Station provides direct trail access into Glacier National Park, while renowned cross-country ski trails at the Izaak Walton Inn are just minutes from your door.
Surrounded by stunning valley and mountain views, this thoughtfully designed home features 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and two loft/living areas, with vaulted ceilings and an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living space perfect for gathering after a day of adventure. The upper-level primary suite offers a private retreat of its own — complete with an en suite bathroom, walk-in closet, cozy loft/living area, and a private covered balcony overlooking the surrounding landscape.
Thoughtful conveniences round out the home, including a dedicated laundry area, an attached heated one-car garage, a circular driveway, and a full-home generator for year-round peace of mind. A detached shop/two-car garage adds exceptional flexibility, with a framed studio space above — electrical already installed and a private exterior staircase in place — ready for your vision, whether that's a home office, guest suite, recreation room, art studio, or hobby space. Outside, an RV parking area and plenty of open space invite you to fully enjoy Montana's outdoor lifestyle. Ideally located approximately 30 minutes from both the West Glacier entrance and East Glacier Village, 45 minutes from Columbia Falls, and about an hour from Kalispell and Whitefish, this property sits in one of Northwest Montana's most desirable recreational destinations. Zoned for long-term stability rather than short-term rentals, this is a true retreat — perfect for a full-time residence, a vacation getaway, or a lasting investment in the Montana lifestyle you've been dreaming of.
