What if your backyard was the Flathead River? Welcome to a modern Montana retreat where mornings begin with coffee overlooking the water, summer afternoons can be spent floating straight from home, and evenings are made for gathering on the patio as the river rolls by. Built in 2020 and beautifully situated on 0.553 acres with approximately 95 feet of Flathead River frontage, this 2,429-square-foot home brings together modern design, comfortable everyday living, and the outdoor lifestyle people come to Montana dreaming about. Step inside and you’re greeted by soaring ceilings, clean architectural lines, an open-concept layout, and an abundance of natural light. The heart of the home is the spacious kitchen, featuring custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a large walk-in pantry, plus a new range and microwave—ready for everything from slow Sunday mornings to dinner with a house full of friends. The thoughtful floor plan offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a main-level primary suite, and a huge bonus room, giving you plenty of flexibility for guests, a home office, media room, workout space, or whatever fits your lifestyle. And there’s more to love: new central A/C brings added comfort during Montana summers, while the new fence adds another layer of function and privacy outdoors. A fireplace, attached two-car garage, covered front porch, patio, add convenience to this already impressive property. But the real showstopper? The river. Imagine stepping outside to fish, swim, paddle, or float the Flathead from your own backyard—or simply sitting above the water and taking in the view. And when adventure calls, Glacier National Park is approximately 25 minutes away, while restaurants, shopping, schools, and the conveniences of Columbia Falls are just minutes from home. This isn’t simply a house near the river. It’s morning coffee by the water. It’s spontaneous summer floats. It’s Montana sunsets from your own backyard. It’s the lifestyle you’ve been waiting for.
