The perfect blend of privacy and natural beauty offering expansive views from your riverside terrace of the Swan Mountains, open meadows, towering Ponderosas, mature birch, shimmering aspen trees, and vibrant perennial beds. If you're an outdoor enthusiast, this is a dream come true, offering direct access for fishing, kayaking, tubing, and viewing an abundance of natural wildlife, including deer, fox, ducks, hummingbirds, and eagles. You are minutes from the charming village of Bigfork, the 27-hole Eagle Bend Golf Course, and the majestic shores of Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi.

Air travel is 30 miles away at the recently expanded and renovated Glacier Park International Airport, or travel by car a few hours north across the Canadian border to Calgary or south to Big Sky and Yellowstone National Park. The architect-designed, custom two-bedroom home features vaulted tongue and groove ceilings, and a south-facing covered porch that offers wide-angle, long-distance views of the river and Crane Mountain. Oversized windows provide scenic vistas in all directions, flooding the open, vaulted ceiling living area with natural light. Easy living with first-floor primary bedroom and wood floors throughout. Adjacent patio for grilling. Plenty of storage space in the oversized garage and storage shed with a carpenter's bench. Large fenced area with raised beds for vegetables and a flower garden. Rare opportunity to build a four-bedroom main house on the property with stunning mountain and river views (county permit approved). South-side abutting property is protected by a conservation easement.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageReally good school. All amazing teachers who really care and are people you can talk. You really get to know them through the school year and they always stick up for us. One problem Bigfork Elementary/Junior High has is the school board and principle, vice principle, counselor. They don't give us the opportunity to reach our full potential.They get us to share our opinions but don't do anything. For example, I was in a higher english class so the high school librarian and english teacher came to an agreement to let us use that library as long as we were respectful because the elementary library had books for 6 grade and under. The vice principle eventually banned it for no reason. We are not allowed to have clubs or create a club, under any circumstances. Even when we tried to create a book club with English teacher. She agreed, yet the Principe said no. The students in this school try to make it better but keep being turned down because we are students. How are we supposed to grow when you take away the resources? The biggest problem is bullying. I was cyber-bullied and verbally abused by my peers.I have been called gay and stupid among other things. Also, my 1st grade sister was called fat and ugly and we reported it many times but it never got better. Her best friend (also 1st grade) was physically pushed down and attacked. They get called names and I have seen him cry on the bus. Recently, there have been many fights and an increase in bullying. I saw two 6th grader punching each other in a hallway. My friend had her stuff took from her locker one day and we found it in the trash. Was a very good community school until a few years back. We are being held back by the school board. Teachers and students alike try to make it a better environment.Student Review10y ago - Bigfork High School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHey bigfork high school!!! I’m so excited to be leaving y’all a review and couldn’t be more excited to share my input!!! As you can tell I’m a big fan of everything y’all do as a school from academics to athletics… did I mention academics! However one complaint is how adri (Adriana Hilliard) Hilliard has not been receiving extra credit on any of her assignments for her amazing skills, smarts and looks. She is very funny, VERY GOOD LOOKING, and very athletic. I would be very happy and hope she receives extra credit from now on out! Thank you bigfork for taking care of my adri!Other Review2mo ago
