- Mini Storage: 10 secure, framed units in the basement with individual keypad locks, main locking entry, motion-activated lighting, exhaust fan, and surveillance.
Extensive 2018 Remodel included complete demolition to studs, new wiring/plumbing (100-amp service per unit + 400-amp for laundromat), new metal roof, high-efficiency windows/doors, superior Rockwool and R-60/R-30 insulation for soundproofing and energy efficiency, granite countertops, Trex decking, new asphalt parking, and more. All systems, appliances, and materials are brand new. Why Bigfork, Montana is the Perfect Investment Location
-Nestled on the shores of Flathead Lake with easy access to Glacier National Park, Jewel Basin trails, ski resorts, and endless outdoor recreation, Bigfork is a thriving tourist destination known for its arts scene, renowned restaurants, summer playhouse, and vibrant community. Limited inventory and strong demand drive steady appreciation and high occupancy for short-term rentals. The upcoming new marina will bring additional tourism and further increase property values in this premier Northwest Montana market.
-This turnkey operation runs efficiently with minimal on-site involvement (managed via cell phone with professional cleaners). Whether continuing the current mixed-use model or exploring new opportunities, The American offers unlimited potential in a town where development space is limited. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind patriotic landmark investment.
