Gorgeous log home in The Last Best Place & 330 ft of waterfront on The Last Best Lake! This custom 4 Bedroom & 4 Bath log home can be found at 38931 Parker Lane in western Montana overlooking the Mission Mountains & Flathead Lake. This home is nestled away in a small neighborhood with 330 ft of shared, lightly used waterfront on the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi, considered one of the most pristine lakes in the world. The waterfront park has a firepit, canoe, paddle boat, swim dock for the younger kids & floating swim dock. The large boat dock includes your personal slip & personally owned boat lift, ready for you to enjoy fishing & playing on the water. If you are not familiar with custom log homes they are more expensive to build than typical homes. Per montanaloghomes.com, this home would cost $250-300 per square foot to build, (calculated minimally at approximately $800,000 for this home & what it is insured for at $1200 annually). Waterfront property on Flathead Lake is highly sought after & approximately $2000 per foot of shoreline, (approximately $660,000 for this property). So you could buy the equivalent of the waterfront property here for more than my asking price, which includes a home that would cost approximately $800,000 to build, plus the property it is built on, or you could just have it all for $595,000 & not have to pay the additional property taxes & maintenance.
