    What's special

    Private naturally wooded settingExceptional ski access
    Exceptional ski access sets this 1.24-acre homesite apart on the sought-after south slope of Big Mountain in Northern Lights West—just across the street from ski-trail access, offering a level of convenience that is notably more accessible than many surrounding properties. Enjoy sweeping western views of the Salish Mountains and filtered views of Whitefish Lake from your private, naturally wooded setting. Mature trees and natural topography create a true Montana feel, while still being just minutes from the base area and downtown Whitefish. Located outside of the resort core, Northern Lights West offers a more private, residential setting among luxury single-family homes—away from the busier areas of the mountain, yet with easy access to all that Whitefish Mountain Resort has to offer. Conceptual architectural renderings are available and include a luxury mountain home design featuring three ensuite bedrooms, a dedicated ski lounge, and expansive outdoor living—offering a glimpse into the full potential of the homesite. Neighborhood amenities include a private homeowners’ chair lift and snow removal on community roads. Short-term rentals are permitted, offering flexibility for both personal enjoyment and income potential. A rare opportunity to secure a homesite that balances ski access, privacy, and year-round mountain living in one of Whitefish Mountain Resort’s most desirable neighborhoods. Please contact the listing agent for more information.
