    What's special

    Heavily wooded propertyPrivate gated acresMultiple potential building sites
    our Montana recreational basecamp awaits. Situated on 25.8 private, gated acres in Marion, Montana, this heavily wooded property ranges from approximately 4,000 to 4,200 feet in elevation and offers exceptional privacy, abundant wildlife, and year-round access. Elk, moose, deer, bear, coyotes, wolves, mountain lions, bobcats, and upland birds are frequent visitors. The property borders Flathead Ridge Ranch on two sides, providing access to thousands of acres of private land available for public recreation under current ranch access guidelines. The centerpiece of the property is the "Johnny Cash" barndominium—matte black, just like the Man in Black—professionally constructed by MQS Builders of Kalispell in 2025. Built on a concrete slab with radiant heat tubing installed, the structure was designed with a 30' x 30' shop area and the potential for a future two-story 30' x 30' living space. Ten-foot covered overhangs run along both long sides and the front of the building, providing excellent space for covered parking, equipment storage, firewood, or a future porch. With over $200,000 invested in improvements and infrastructure already completed, much of the heavy lifting has already been done. Premium Andersen 100 Series windows are installed throughout the structure. Rough-in plumbing is already in place for a future bathroom, sinks, and utility connections. The polished concrete floor is complete and ready for your choice of finishes and interior design. Significant infrastructure has already been completed. Electrical conduit has been trenched approximately 300 feet from the road to the barndominium, and a meter base is installed and ready for connection to Flathead Electric Cooperative if desired. Septic approval has been completed, saving future owners valuable time and expense. The unfinished interior provides a blank canvas for your vision—whether you're creating an off-grid retreat, hunting lodge, recreational getaway, workshop, or full-time Montana residence. Multiple additional building sites are located throughout the property, and several acres could be cleared for horses, livestock, hobby farming, or expanded development. Additional features include: • Private gated entrance directly from Highway 2 • Internal trail system throughout the property • Two 20-foot cargo containers included for storage • Multiple potential building sites • No HOA • No covenants • No restrictions Conveniently located approximately: • 35 miles to Glacier National Park • 69 miles to Libby • 136 miles to Missoula • 224 miles to Spokane Rarely does a property offer this combination of privacy, infrastructure, recreational access, and future potential. Skip years of planning, permitting, and site preparation and start building your Montana dream today.
    What the owner loves about this home
    What I love most about this property is the balance of convenience and seclusion. You're only about 25 minutes west of Kalispell, yet once you pass through the gate and wind back to the building site, it feels like you're deep in the forests of Northwestern Montana. The barndominium sits more than 300 feet off the road, tucked behind a small ridge and surrounded by mature timber, creating a level of privacy that's hard to find. Most properties along Highway 2 are visible from the road—this one feels hidden away in its own private world. Wildlife is abundant. It's common to see elk, deer, bear, coyotes, bobcats, badgers, grouse, pheasants, and a variety of other birds throughout the property. Whether you're a hunter, wildlife enthusiast, photographer, or simply enjoy watching nature from your porch, this property delivers a true Montana experience. I also love the flexibility this land offers. Beyond the existing barndominium, there are multiple potential building sites for a guest cabin, ADU, short-term rental, workshop, or family compound. The hard work has already been done—the infrastructure is in place, the building shell is complete, and the property is ready for someone to bring their own vision to life. The canvas has been built and primed. Now it awaits your brush of creativity to create something truly special in Northwestern Montana.
