Come feel Montana..... Step back in time and experience all the charm of this incredible homestead. According to previous owners, this historic 2 bedroom, 1 ½ bath Montana property was originally homesteaded in 1898. The log farmhouse (now covered over in cedar shake) was built in 1902 by Kitzmiller, one of two contractors who built the Kootenai Lodge on Swan Lake. Plumbing and electricity were added in the 1930's and later in the 1960's. Extensive renovations began in 1990, and in 1998 the upper “sleeping” loft and half-bath were added. Over the years, additions and improvements were made, all in keeping the true feeling of this vintage historic Montana home. Such a unique and rare find. The home exudes timeless charm, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere. The 10 acre grounds include an old apple orchard, beautiful mature trees, ancient Virginia Creeper vines, corrals, a 60'x30'barn, five additional outbuildings and equestrian fencing. With breathtaking views of the Swan Mountains in a lovely country setting, you are only minutes to the artist village of Bigfork, Jewel Basin hiking area, Loon Lake, Swan Lake, Swan River and Crane Mountain recreation area.
