Description

Situated in the heart of Montana’s Flathead Valley, this exceptional 19.71-acre estate pairs commanding Columbia Mountain views and remarkable privacy with a collection of spaces uniquely suited for both residential living and destination hospitality plus a recently acquired Option on additional 20 acres to the east. ( see documents for Option property map) This option property has a vineyard, wooded house, barn and shop and open pasture. Acquiring this Option property secures a very private estate with expansive views to the mountains and allows for additional flexibility in the potential hospitality business. Price on Option property is 1.2M.

At the center of the Middle road property is an extraordinary 7,420 +/- square-foot Main Lodge, constructed with substantial 18-inch hewn logs, natural stonework, and the warmth and character of classic Montana architecture. Dramatic 22-foot ceilings frame the primary gathering spaces, while an expansive open kitchen, striking double-sided river-rock fireplace, generous entertaining areas, and dedicated downstairs theater/game room create a natural setting for people to come together.

Beyond the Main Lodge, three independent guest dwellings and an event barn expand the estate to approximately 12,851 square feet of total interior space. Each offers private accommodations, giving the property unusual flexibility for extended family, guests, multi-generational living, retreats, reunions, celebrations, and multi-day gatherings.

It is this combination of scale, privacy, accommodations, and gathering space that distinguishes the property.
... See Supplemental Remarks for further information. Rather than functioning solely as a traditional luxury residence, the estate offers a compelling foundation for an owner interested in creating a more experiential relationship with the property. Its existing configuration lends itself naturally to private-estate hospitality, destination weddings, retreats, family gatherings, executive or organizational convenings, and other curated group experiences—all while retaining the ability to serve as an exceptional private Montana residence.

Nearly 20 acres provide additional room to imagine what the next chapter could become. Depending upon a future owner’s vision and appropriate due diligence, the land and existing improvements could provide a foundation for expanded gardens or agriculture, farm-to-table experiences, wellness amenities, additional guest accommodations, or other complementary uses that deepen the property’s use and connection to place.

The setting completes the experience. Sweeping mountain views, native wildlife, open land, and vibrant evening alpenglow create an environment that feels distinctly Montana—private and restorative, yet positioned within one of the state’s most desirable and accessible destination regions.

For a residential buyer, it is an extraordinary family estate.

For a hospitality-minded owner, it offers something considerably more difficult to find: an established physical foundation for bringing people together, with the freedom to shape what comes next.

The property does not require a future owner to inherit someone else’s concept. Its value lies in the range of possibilities already supported by the land, buildings, accommodations, and gathering spaces.

Continue it as an exceptional private estate. Create a destination for family and friends. Develop a distinctive retreat or gathering property. Explore hospitality, culinary, agricultural, or wellness opportunities.

The foundation is here. The next chapter belongs to its future owner.
