DIRECTIONS:
From Hwy 35 at Saint John Paul Catholic Church, it's the fourth driveway on your left immediately after Rising Mountain Assisted Living. Apple & Google Maps may direct you too far down Coverdell Road—look for the large, sculptural metal mailbox and gravel driveway. Please drive slowly as there are nesting birds in the grass and gravel along the road, as well as a small, older dog who doesn't navigate well around moving vehicles.

PARKING:
Park in front of any of the garage doors.

ENVIRONMENT:
The guest apartment does not have AC. It is recommended to open the windows at night to let the cool air in and close them during the day to help keep the space cool.

PETS:
Well-behaved dogs are welcome; please notify us in advance.

About the host

Hosted by Lee Proctor

Host profile image
The 20 acre property was purchased to build my new studio that would accommadate glass working facility. Which would combine with the already existing metal facility, offering great possibilities to blend the two mediums. we work mostly on commission creating one of a kind site specific work as well as sculptural installations .

Why they chose this property

Following a vision I moved to Montana from the growing crowds of south Florida in 1975. I was completely taken with the pristine waters the unspoiled landscape and the dramatic change of the seasons. Built a log home near Bigfork started a metal shop and never looked back. A river runs through Bigfork and pours into the Flathead a world class lake the largest natural lake west of the Mississippi.There is abundant wild life here on the property, from deer and coyotes, to countless birds of prey like Great Horned Owls and bald eagles.

What makes this property unique

Being just minutes from the quaint mountain village of Bigfork, yet far enough out to have a private, rural
feel. Great place to relax, take walks, or witness the processes involved in the studio. I enjoy sharing this
wonderful property with others. Lee Proctor
