NHN Swan Lake Overlook

Bigfork, MT 59911

Positioned above Swan Lake in northwestern Montana, this 160 acre recreational property offers a combination of privacy, wildlife, and strong views. The property overlooks Swan Lake to the west and the Swan Range to the east, including Mount Orvis Evans and Sixmile Mountain. Sixmile Creek flows along the northern edge of the property, providing a year-round water feature that supports wildlife and enhances the land’s overall character. The land is located just south of Bigfork, with Kalispell and Whitefish within roughly 30 minutes. While access to these communities is convenient, you feel far removed once on-site, in an extremely quiet setting with limited surrounding development. The area is well known for its wildlife presence, and the property is frequented by whitetail deer, moose, elk, black bear, and grizzly bear. The current owners have historically treated the property as a wildlife refuge, and it remains largely untouched. The property adjoins approximately 80± acres of landlocked U.S. Forest Service land to the south, offering direct access to additional ground for recreation. Access is provided by a gated private road off Highway 83, with approximately 3.7 miles of gravel road leading to the property. Internal roads are in place, providing solid access throughout much of the acreage. The timber includes a mix of species and age classes that contribute to both privacy and habitat. Selective tree thinning could further improve the existing views. There are no conservation easements in place, allowing a buyer flexibility in how the property is used. Power is available nearby from two separate locations, providing options when planning future improvements. Overall, this is a well-located recreational property offering a combination of views, water, wildlife, and privacy. Enjoy all of these great features with convenient access to nearby towns.
