Elk Glen Retreat is a truly extraordinary Montana legacy property where rustic elegance, breathtaking scenery, and rich history come together on 40 private acres overlooking Flathead Lake and the majestic Swan Mountain Range. Tucked among towering trees and connected by winding natural pathways, six custom-built vintage cabins create a one-of-a-kind retreat experience. Each cabin showcases thoughtfully curated mountain-inspired interiors featuring natural stone accents, reclaimed wood finishes, artisan-crafted fixtures, and distinctive handcrafted details. The collection includes three one-bedroom cabins, two studio cabins, and a spacious two-bedroom, two-level cabin. Fully furnished and turnkey, each offers comfortable accommodations with mini kitchens, modern appliances, and well-appointed bathrooms. Adding to its remarkable story, the celebrated Elk Cabin was featured on the cover of Log Home Living magazine. Beyond the cabins, the property offers an impressive array of amenities designed for recreation, self-sufficiency, and enjoyment. A large greenhouse, stocked fishing pond, tack room, playground, chicken coop, animal shelter, perimeter fencing, and multiple outbuildings provide endless possibilities. A substantial barn serves as both a heated shop and garage while also housing additional living quarters, ideal for a caretaker, groundskeeper, or property manager. Whether envisioned as a private family compound, an exclusive gathering place, or a hospitality venture, Elk Glen Retreat captures the authentic spirit of Montana. Secluded and serene, yet conveniently located just five minutes from the charming Village of Bigfork, 30 minutes from Glacier Park International Airport, and approximately one hour from the western entrance to Glacier National Park, this exceptional property offers an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of Montana's timeless beauty.
