H Lazy 4 Ranch is a true legacy property on 36.53 private acres surrounded by pristine National Forest Service land to the west and Glacier National Park to the East with approx. quarter mile of the North Fork of the Flathead River known for its exceptional fly fishing bordering the ranch. Multiple lodges, cabins and shops. All custom built with amazing history and charm. Solar Powered with back-up generators and completely self-sufficient. Large private trout filled lake, greenhouse, gardens, and meadows. Located just a few minutes from the Polebridge Mercantile and northern entrance to Glacier National Park, The H Lazy 4 Ranch is an opportunity to invest in one of the most beautiful places in Montana. This meticulously designed ranch offers 4 homes, two of which are large custom log homes with breathtaking views into Glacier, multiple shops, plus other outbuildings including turn of the century homestead structures. Multiple gardens, greenhouse, and private fishing lake. The opportunities are abundant with the H Lazy 4 Ranch. This Montana property could be an ideal family compound, corporate retreat, vacation rental property, or investment in a Montana property like no other. The main lodge offers approximately 3700 sq. ft. craft fully constructed with Aspen logs from the property. The views of the Rocky Mountain peaks of Glacier National Park from your floor to ceiling windows of the great room of the lodge are mesmerizing. Thoughtfully designed with custom features throughout, the main lodge features an elevator, wine cellar, custom woodwork and beautiful kitchen with top of the line AGA stove, butcher block counter tops and custom cabinetry. The second log home is currently used as a successful short-term rental. This log home offers vaulted ceilings, amazing views of the meadows, private lake and Glacier Peaks. With 9 bedrooms, and additional lofts, and large deck spanning the length of the home. The third log home, the original Border Patrol cabin, was relocated and built on this ranch. Currently used as a caretakes cabin, this log home is full of character and charm. The fourth home is located above one of the shops and offers approximately 1500 sq. ft. Incredible views and huge kitchen with an open concept. Several garden areas and greenhouses are also on the property. Many fruit trees abound. Wildlife is absolutely incredible and abundant as one would expect in Montana and in the North Fork Valley. Home to deer, elk, moose, bears and wolves. The H Lazy 4 is fully self sufficient with solar power and back up diesel generators. Water is supplied in abundance from a spring with water storage. Just a few miles north of the Polebridge Mercantile, famous for their Huckleberry bear claws as well as the Northern entrance to Glacier National Park with great access to several large lakes and miles of backcountry hiking. Truly a legacy property, the H Lazy 4 Ranch offers a setting and amenities impossible to recreate today. The water for all the structures is supplied by a large spring box/buried catch tank from a spring just off the property on Forest Service land. This is covered by a special use permit from the Forrest service. There is an annual fee of less than $20 that is billed directly to the property owner. Following Ray’s death, I got in touch with the Realty Specialist who oversees these type of permits for the Flathead National Forest. The special use permit does not transfer on death so I am in the process of having it transferred to the estate. I have filed all the necessary forms and the ball is in their court. Once the permit is transferred, realistically after the current fire season, it will remain in place until the property is sold. If the property is sold prior to transfer then the new owner will need to apply for the permit. It is a straightforward process and I have the details to include a good local point of contact. The pipeline from the catch tank was repaired this summer and water is fully restored to all the modern structures. There has been no indication from the Forrest Service that there will be any interruption of the supply (they would have to physically cut it off at the source and give notification prior) while the special use permit is transferred.
