What if your backyard was the Flathead River? Welcome to a modern Montana retreat where mornings begin with coffee overlooking the water, summer afternoons can be spent floating straight from home, and evenings are made for gathering on the patio as the river rolls by.

This isn't just a home but a basecamp for you and your closest, with Duck Lake at your feet and National Forest Service land as your backyard. Step inside the unassuming home to be welcomed by an impressive, two-sided, full cobblestone fireplace (the same rocks found in Lake McDonald and photographed by thousands). Natural materials surround you with pine and maple floors under foot, pine trim and wainscoting throughout, pine countertops in the kitchen and antler shed pull knobs. On Golden Pond? Well, on Duck Lake but...you get the idea. At sunset, glide in your canoe while the loons enchant you. This is the romance of Montana mountain living. In addition to the main house, a self-contained, 200 sq. ft. guest cottage will have your guests feeling spoiled. Who's expecting a set from an English novel-turned-movie, at the edge of the mountains?
