Montana Dream Property on Flathead Lake to Be Auctioned to the Highest Bidder
Thursday, August 6, 2009

Flathead LakeIf you live in Western Montana, chances are that you spend a lot of time at the amazingly beautiful Flathead Lake in the summer time. Out-of-staters also enjoy second homes and vacation homes on the lake.

Unfortunately, the Flathead Valley has been one of the harder hit areas of Montana by the recession and lake front home sales have been slow to say the least. One seller who is tired of waiting for his lake front property to sell through traditional channels has decided to auction his property to the highest bidder on Thursday, August 6, 2009. This property, that was listed at $3.2 million, will go to the highest bidder on Thursday, regardless of price.

Property Description - Per the Auction House

The crystal clear waters of Flathead Lake reflect the majestic beauty of the Rocky Mountains at this 5.5±-acre lakefront estate in Bigfork, Montana, which is listed among the "50 Great Towns of the West." Bordered by 345± feet of eastern shoreline, this captivating property is tucked along East Shore Route 35, one of two scenic highways framing Flathead Lake.  A creation of Ice Age glaciers, the fresh-water playground, which plunges to depths of 300 feet, is famous for boating, sailing, scuba diving and fishing.

The property is blanketed in large pines and features a three-bedroom, two-bath home, guest home, a cherry orchard with more than 100 trees and boathouse. Numerous homesites exist on this tranquil piece of land - all with panoramic views of the mountains and lake.

The lure of the Mission and Swan mountains is difficult to resist. Only 25 miles from Glacier National Park, Flathead Lake Estate is less than an hour from Flathead National Forest, the Bob Marshall and Swan Wilderness Areas and Whitefish Mountain and Big Mountain Ski Resorts. South of Whitefish and Kalispell, the trendy art community of Bigfork is home to world-class galleries, a 27-hole golf course, wineries, breweries, fine restaurants and shops.

It looks beautiful.  I probably couldn't survive the Winters but I bet they're pretty as well.
