This is the kind of property that takes years to put together right. Nearly 20 acres in the Flathead County foothills east of Kalispell -- remodeled home, two shops, a barn, a fenced garden with pie cherry, apple, and plum trees, RV hookup, and land with split potential. It's set up for the buyer who wants to actually use what they own, with Jewel Basin and Strawberry Lake down the road.

The 3,075 sq ft home has been updated where it counts -- remodeled kitchen, renovated bathrooms, and a fully finished basement with two additional bedrooms and a third bath. Wood and propane furnaces keep it warm through a Montana winter. Private well, septic, and internet availability mean you're self-sufficient without being cut off. The covered front porch faces the kind of view that makes it hard to go back inside.

The two shops are the real backbone of this property. Whether you're running a trade business, storing equipment, working on rigs, or just need serious space to build and fix things -- they're ready. The barn handles whatever comes next, and the fenced garden is producing fruit from trees that someone planted and tended long before you arrived. Pie cherries, apples, plums -- the kind of thing you don't plant for yourself, you inherit and appreciate.

The acreage carries land split potential - whether that means keeping a portion for family, setting up a guest or caretaker site, or selling off a parcel down the road -- the optionality is built in. The RV hookup extends that flexibility further, making room for extended family, seasonal guests, or a rental income stream without adding infrastructure.

Jewel Basin Hiking Area is nearby, and the road to the Strawberry Lake trailhead runs right up Foothill Road -- you're not close to the mountains out here, you're in them. All of this, with the convenience of Kalispell within reach--close enough for daily needs, far enough to maintain privacy and space.
