1335 Mooring Rd, Columbia Falls, MT 59912

This Luxury Farmhouse in Columbia Falls is the whole package, with indoor saltwater pool, old-growth forest, an established lake, 4 recorded water rights, expansive hay fields, horse pasture, mature specimen trees, abundant wildlife and idyllic vistas in all directions. Sited on 40 fully-fenced and gated, unzoned acres, with almost 10,000 square feet under roof, 5BR/6BA, 9 car garage, gourmet kitchen, 4 fireplaces, enormous game/movie room, 2 laundry rooms and exceptional indoor saltwater pool. All bedrooms en suite. Well, septic and connected to natural gas. 4 HVAC zones, with gas-powered furnaces and central A/C. Central vacuum. Radiant floor heating under stone/tiled floors. Gorgeous slate and barnwood flooring. Granite/stone/marble counters throughout. Large outdoor entertaining deck, covered deck with spa, 2 circle driveways, porte cochere, grand entry and unrivaled, panoramic views, including direct views into Glacier National Park. With farmland quickly disappearing to massive subdivisions and the ever-increasing traffic of Whitefish and Kalispell, this property is sited in the picturesque Highway 206 corridor of Columbia Falls. Far from water/sewer infrastructure, this rapidly gentrifying area is far outside any path of future mass development potential and the gridlock that comes with it, while still being close to the amenities such development provides. Abundant, large tracts of Creston-topsoil farmland and family ranches remain in this corridor of unzoned paradise. This property is on high ground, with no HOA, covenants, deed restrictions, or area ordinances and is outside the new airport overlay. An ideal wedding/event/concert venue, VRBO or family compound. Being unzoned allows for additional construction without the expense, hassle and delay of building permits. A slice of peaceful, private FREEDOM and clearly Flathead County’s “last best place!” ...see Supplemental Remarks for additional property information and features... Originally part of an 1895 homestead, the original home was built in 1913, but completely replaced in 2008 with the construction of the current modern home.
