249 Goose Bay Ln, Townsend, MT 59644
What's special
Overlooking Canyon Ferry Lake with sweeping views of the Big Belt Mountains, this 20-acre, fully fenced property gives you the space, privacy, and scenery that define Montana living. This is the place everyone wants to gather. Where fun is had and lifelong memories are made. You’re a stone’s throw from Goose Bay Marina and the boat launch, giving you easy access to boating, fishing, and year-round recreation. This legacy property features a log cabin, guest trailer, large 3-bay garage with shop, a huge steel boat/RV storage barn and two full hookup RV spots. The high-efficiency, two-story log home captures light and views through expansive upper-level windows that frame the lake and surrounding peaks. Aspen interiors bring a true lodge feel, while the open kitchen, dining, and living area create a natural gathering space. The upper-level bath includes a soaking tub with pristine lake views and walk-in shower. Front and rear decks extend your living space outdoors—ideal for morning coffee or evenings experiencing the gorgeous sunsets. The ground level offers 3 bedrooms (1 non conforming), a sitting area or office, a laundry/mechanical room area, and a second full bath, with storage integrated throughout. The guest trailer offers 3 additional bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, dining, and living room. Separate heated three stall garage with shop, 40 x 60 storage barn for boats and RVs with extensive shelving, and fenced dog run round out the property. Mature, irrigated windbreaks of pine and deciduous trees provide privacy and protection, while deer and native birds regularly move through the property. Whether serving as a residence, vacation rental, seasonal getaway, multi-generational property, or recreational retreat, this rare 20-acre property provides privacy, versatility, and spectacular views in every direction.
