'Murphy's at the Lake' is a private residence on 16 secluded acres which include timber, meadows and 1000 feet of frontage on Halfmoon Lake. Towering over the property are the Belton Mountains. These mammoth giants outline the sky in three directions and grace the lake frontage with spectacular views. There are no other properties or residences on the place, which adds to the uniqueness and exclusiveness of 'Murphy's'. Then, to top it off, Glacier National Park with all of its incredible scenery is only 2 miles away.
We recently decided to list 'Murphy's' as a vacation home which explains the snowy photos. We kept the winter pictures, but have many summer ones available. The home is large with lots of space and privacy. The main floor consists of a living room in the center part of the house, with a dividing counter between the kitchen and dinning area. On the west side of the living room is a bedroom, full bath and two garages. On the east side is an office, two large bedrooms,bathroom and a greenhouse. On the second floor is a large master suite (500 sq.') with a king size bed, leather sofa, sitting area, desk, bath, and balcony. Full laundry is off the kitchen area.
The back yard is large with flowers and raised garden beds, picnic table, lounge chairs, BBQ, slide, teeter tooter and a perimeter fence that can be shut to keep small children from roaming. On the west side of the house is a kennel, should you want to leave your pet while in the park. On the south side of the house, a cul-de-sac driveway borders a central yard complete with spruce trees, shrubs, and flowers. And to the southeast a small road/path approaches the lake for access. We've moved a small cabin to the lake for fisherman and kids who want to hang out in something different. The dock has a removable section for floating further out. In addition a small canoe and row boat are availabe; with limited fishing gear.
Murphy's at the Lake had a successful opening year with special times between the 3 generations...grandparents, adult kids and the grandkids...each with their own space and time together as well. We are open year around, with the holidays as popular as summer.
