Shady Lane River Ranch awaits your western lifestyle. Imagine yourself in the main level ranch house on expansive Swan River with the alpenglow warming the majestic Swan Mountains as your background. The trappers cabin was built onsite in the 1940s and has seamlessly been incorporated into the home with two separate additions to the ranch house. Cozy fireplaces greet you in the great room and dining area warming both hearth and heart. The spacious kitchen offers plenty of prep room and modern appliances. The study offers an opportunity for privacy and quiet contemplation with a screened-in porch and sauna beyond the terrace. The grand primary bedroom offers the glow of the stove and numerous built-ins. Step out onto the terrace to the bunkroom, sauna, and secret garden. Guests will enjoy their separate quarters adjacent to the meadow, arena, corrals, barn, seasonal stream, and pond. North boundary is 100 acres of Montana State Trust Land. Mostly furnished guest house utilized as short-term rental. Two amazing homes for you to choose: main house on waterfront and log secondary dwelling near your four-footed friends, corrals and shelter. Main house offers two bedrooms and three baths with 2,523 sq. ft. Guest house offers two bedrooms and one bath with 1,002 sq ft. Two RV hook-ups for additional income producing opportunities. Water Rights for Swan River, pond, and artesian well. Owner finance possible. A short drive to the amenities of Bigfork Village.
