At the base of Crane Mountain, just outside of Bigfork in the Ferndale area, and a short walk away from beautiful Horseshoe Lake, is a one-of-a-kind property with a myriad of possibilities. No zoning, no covenants; make it your dream home, vacation home, or the perfect VRBO! Being located at the base of Crane Mountain means direct access to the outdoors and makes it a great location for anyone to enjoy hunting, hiking, birdwatching, or foraging. There’s plenty of State and Stoltz land all around for your outdoor activities, including nearby huckleberry patches! Also, an amazing variety of wildlife native to northwest Montana. Truly an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. The proximity to Horseshoe Lake-a few minute walk-also provides access to open year-round fishing for perch and bass, and a gorgeous lake for other water activities. The kids can venture to the lake for some fun in the water, no problem! Mountain bike trails with jumps and exciting terrain are in the process of being developed on Crane Mountain, for the adrenaline junkies! Those adrenaline junkies may also find snowmobiling on Crane Mountain just as exhilarating. The property itself is secluded and peaceful, fully fenced with hotwire to keep wildlife at a safe distance. It has its own morel patch, and is surrounded by birch trees, making it feel private and homey. The home is a single level with an open-floor plan, emphasized by large windows for sunshine and views. It is also entirely wheelchair accessible! The bay windows, perfect for a chair to lounge or a collection of houseplants, are topped with shelves handmade from birch wood. The kitchen has a great flow, that cabin in the woods feel, and so much potential for any chefs in the family! Call your real estate professional today to schedule a showing. Bigfork offers a variety of fun as well. From Bigfork Arts Festival, Whitewater Festival, Taste Of Bigfork, Spartan Races, Monday Markets in the summer with live music going on regularly! There's Scarecrow contests in the Fall, Brewfest in the Spring and Huckleberry Fest in the summer in Swan. Bigfork even has elves that decorate Bigfork to make it a Hallmark Christmas Village. This community is truly amazing. Volunteers host all these events to make their own money for the village. Bigfork doesn't have a mayor or a police station. They have their community, Chamber of Commerce, and committees like Community Foundation For A Better Bigfork! (CFBB) that help put all these events together with the community's support.
