Cozy Lakeside Living, Montana Style

This lake house embodies true mountain elegance with timeless design and rustic sophistication. Architecture and nature converge along the eastern shore of pristine Little Bitterroot Lake. This thoughtfully crafted home offers 151 feet of deepwater frontage, over 4,600 square feet of living space, and 1.2 acres in one of the most stunning, peaceful settings in Montana. With mature landscaping, a fenced yard with gated drive, and a private shoreline sanctuary, it’s a Montana retreat designed for year-round living and four-season recreation. Inside, natural materials and quality finishes ground the home in warmth and craftsmanship. The floor-to-ceiling windows and massive log accents in the great room sets the tone with panoramic lake views, a soaring dry-stacked natural stone fireplace, and circle-sawn Douglas fir floors underfoot. Aspen tongue-and-groove ceilings rise above the open living, kitchen, and dining areas, while a heated sunporch creates a perfect space for relaxing and taking in lake views. The kitchen features knotty alder cabinets, granite countertops, and a full KitchenAid appliance package, all just steps from a walk-in pantry. Four bedrooms are spread across three levels. The private lofted primary suite offers picturesque views of the lake, two walk-in closets, a spa inspired bath with cherry cabinets and Italian tile, and access to a deck with hot tub. There are two bedrooms on the main level, a full bath with jacuzzi tub, laundry, and additional ½ bath. The lower-level walkout hosts a game room with wet bar and gas stove, a fourth bedroom, a tiled bath, and flexible office space/bonus room. Outside, the quality craftsmanship continues with hand-scraped log siding and log railing. 1,000+ square feet of deck and patio space surround the home, creating multiple areas to relax or entertain. The 32’x40’ detached 3-car garage/shop with 10’ high doors and openers includes a 400 square foot roughed in loft for future space. The shoreline—complete with floating dock, ShoreStation lift, and beach access—is ready for boating and swimming. Additional features include: • Beam house central vacuum system • Culligan water softener and radon mitigation • High-efficiency Rheem furnace • Rainbird irrigation with auto-drain • Underground utilities • 1,000-gallon buried propane tank (owned) As part of the North Bitterroot Lake HOA, owners enjoy access to 171 acres of open space, fire suppression infrastructure, and year-round road maintenance, including snow removal and weed control. Whether you're hosting guests, escaping the city, or just soaking up the serenity of lake life, this is Montana living done right—private, practical, and beautifully built.
