385 Lakeshore Dr, Lakeside, MT 59922

Description

Some properties are defined by a feeling that never goes out of style. Set along 96 feet of beautiful Flathead Lake frontage, this one-of-a-kind retreat captures the authentic spirit of lake living as it was meant to be. Offered for the first time in over 30 years, the property encompasses three lots totaling 0.70 acres, with a gentle slope from the home to the water’s edge and a setting reminiscent of a beloved lakeside camp. Architecturally appealing, the home is rich in character, with a distinctive, unconventional floor plan, stacked structural beams, warm pine floors, and three wood-burning fireplaces that invite cozy evenings in every season. Four decks frame lovely views of Flathead Lake and the Mission Mountains beyond, while abundant windows bring in natural light and keep the lake ever-present. Two inviting bedrooms on the main level are complemented by two additional lower-level bedrooms that open onto private patios. A walk-out basement and a grass driveway tucked among mature trees add to the property’s relaxed, unpretentious appeal. Ready for thoughtful updating, this is an opportunity to honor the home’s original character while creating a personal vision for lakefront living. The gentle approach to the shoreline, the home's close proximity to the water, and the peaceful, wooded setting evoke a simpler era on Flathead Lake, one defined by long summer days, evenings by the fire, and a deep connection to the lake. The purchase also includes a boat slip at the Mission View Terrace Community Dock, adding to the ease of enjoying life on the water. Despite its quiet, camp-like atmosphere, the property is conveniently located near the goods and services of Lakeside, Kalispell, Bigfork, and Whitefish, with Glacier Park International Airport, Glacier National Park, and Whitefish Mountain Resort within reach. A rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Flathead Lake history with timeless character and the potential to create something truly special.
