About this property
Riverfront property on the Swan River w/A/C, fireplace & fire pit - Swan River Retreat
Guests are sure to enjoy a memorable vacation in this exceptional 6 bedroom, 6 bathroom, 4,500 sq ft Swan River front home located just 10 minutes from historic downtown Bigfork and Flathead Lake. This stretch of the river where wildlife abound is famous for tube floating, fly fishing and seasonal kayaking. Common wildlife sightings include eagles, osprey, waterfowl, foxes, deer and occasionally moose and bear. Listen to the sound of the river rushing past the home as you lounge on the deck soaking in an amazing setting. Experience unique privacy but you are only minutes to all the conveniences of being downtown. A full service market including floating tube rentals, fishing licenses and gas station are located within walking distance to the home.
The main floor consists of the master bedroom with a king-sized bed, a guest bedroom with twin bunk beds and the third bedroom with a king-sized bed and three full bathrooms. Also on the main floor is the gourmet kitchen with gas stove, dining room and great room with stone fireplace. The open floor plan includes large picture windows with spectacular views of the remarkable Swan River and Swan Mountains. The upstairs level includes the fourth bedroom with a king-sized bed and another bathroom with a combo tub/shower. The remaining 2 guest rooms are located in the detached guest quarters above the garage. Each are furnished with king-sized beds and two bathrooms. Both buildings are air conditioned. The attached covered deck off the main house leads to a beautifully landscaped and manicured lawn at the water's edge. Amenities also include cable TV, WiFi (speeds cannot be guaranteed based upon weather or usage in the area), Washer/Dryer, Gas Barbecue, Fire Pit, Ping Pong and Basketball hoop.
In the winter, the Flathead Valley is famous for its world-class skiing and wide range of winter activities. There are two ski resorts in the area including the local favorite Whitefish Mountain Resort and the family-friendly Blacktail Mountain Ski Area. Whitefish Mountain Resort was recently ranked #3 in the West by Ski Magazine readers! Visitors to the area can also enjoy ice fishing on Flathead Lake, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing in Glacier National Park, and snowmobiling with one of the local outfitters.
In the summer, enjoy all the water sports imaginable at Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi in the lower 48! Glacier National Park is also close by with the breathtaking Going-To-The-Sun Road, Lake McDonald, and 70+day hikes! Make sure you take time to experience downtown Bigfork boasting shops, galleries, restaurants and the Bigfork Summer Playhouse. There are activities for everyone from hiking the Swan River Nature Trail, exploring the Jewel Basin Wilderness Area, fishing the many lakes & rivers or golfing at any of the exceptional courses, including Eagle Bend Golf Course.
