Ultimate Montana Freedom — No HOA, Private Bike Trail & Vintage Charm!
This unique Kalispell property offers privacy, character, and unrestrained outdoor living.
Step through the sunroom entry, wrapped in full-surround windows that bathe the home in natural light—the perfect mudroom, plant sanctuary, or morning coffee corner. Inside, the spacious living area features a warm wood-burning stove with a beautiful rock surround, creating an inviting focal point for crisp western Montana evenings and Winter warmth after a day on the slopes.
Outside, park your RV, set up a workshop, or store all your recreation toys without restrictions. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the newly designed private machine built mountain bike trail created by Lone Pine Trail Builders right on the property, allowing you to ride straight from your back door. This path also doubles as a hiking trail for the less adventurous.
An oversized 2-car garage/shop gives you ample room for vehicles, tools, and gear. It also has a loft that could be finished out for additional living space or utilized for extra storage. Attached to the house you'll find a cold storage shed for additional storage. The grounds also feature a generator and authentic rustic elements, including an old cabin converted to a chicken coop and an original double outhouse that adds a fun touch of local history.
Ideally positioned in the Flathead Valley, you are minutes away from world-class hiking in the Jewel Basin and Mount Aeneas, boating on Flathead Lake, and dining or shopping in the lakeside village of Bigfork.
Whether you are looking for a private acreage, a launchpad for adventure, or a property with personality and potential, 244 Bench Drive is a rare find.
