Where Wilderness Meets Freedom: A 20-Acre Swan Valley Legacy Estate Tucked away in the heart of the Swan Valley, where Pierce Creek bubbles under a private bridge and flows directly into the Flathead National Forest, lies a rare 20-acre homestead free from any covenants or HOA restrictions. Offering a masterfully remodeled log cabin home and a massive, commercial-grade workshop, this dual-lot property (5449 MT-83 and 336 Old Barn Road) perfectly balances wilderness seclusion with premier infrastructure. Wake up to abundant wildlife signs, walk out your back door into thousands of acres of public land, or spend your mornings cultivating crops in the permitted greenhouse and raised garden beds. The 1,500 SF log cabin features classic Montana architecture: main-level primary living, an open loft, vaulted ceilings, and a roaring Blaze King wood stove. To make this home a seamless fit, the sellers are offering a $15,000 buyer credit to build out a custom master bathroom addition. Across the creek via your private, permitted bridge sits the second independent lot. Fully equipped with its own well, power, and approved Missoula County septic, it is entirely build-ready for a second custom home, guest cabin, or family compound expansion. The adjacent 2,900 SF shop is an absolute masterpiece—outfitted with radiant floor heat, a cold pantry, vault storage, 200-amp service, and space for 5+ vehicles or heavy implements. This is more than a home; it’s a self-sustaining Montana lifestyle. Swan Valley Mountain Stream Homestead – 20 Acres, No Covenants, Borders Flathead National Forest! Embrace the peak of Northwest Montana real estate with this un-zoned 20-acre double-lot homestead in the breathtaking Swan Valley. Located near the summit of the Swan River watershed, just south of Lindbergh Lake and north of the Clearwater River watershed, this premier corner property directly borders the Flathead National Forest on two sides—offering untamed wild country and dramatic mountain views as far as the eye can see. Two Deeded Lots Offered Together (5449 MT-83 & 336 Old Barn Rd): • Lot 1 (The Homestead): Features a remodeled (2021) 1,512 SF custom log cabin designed for efficient main-level living. Inside, you’ll find vaulted ceilings, rich hardwood floors, a cozy Blaze King wood stove, efficient Andersen windows, and an open-concept loft.

This parcel is fully build-ready with its own dedicated driveway entrance, well, power pedestal, and an already installed Missoula County septic system. A private road network and a fully permitted bridge over Pierce Creek seamlessly connect the two homesites. The Ultimate Custom Workshop & Infrastructure: Perfect for mechanics, hobbyists, or home businesses, the ~2,900 SF heated shop features commercial-grade poured concrete floors, radiant in-floor heating, a 200-amp service, air compressor setup, a secure vault room, and cold pantry storage. It easily accommodates up to 5 vehicles or large agricultural loaders via double oversized electronic doors, plus a rear roll-up door for ATVs/snowmobiles. A second bathroom is already roughed-in. Self-Sufficiency & Horse Property Features: Cultivate your own food with a permitted greenhouse (featuring a rain-catchment system), raised garden beds, a chicken coop, and plenty of space for a horse property setup.
