Step out your front door, and you're minutes from thousands of acres of Flathead National Forest. The Lupfer Road corridor borders the Tally Lake Ranger District and ties directly into the Whitefish Trail System, putting hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding right at your doorstep. It's a rare thing to have true wilderness access this close to town, and this 3.7-acre property delivers it right in your own front yard. Set back for privacy yet just 20 minutes from downtown Whitefish, this ranch-style home offers 1,512 sqft of open living space with vaulted ceilings and a great kitchen. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms fill the main house, with a spacious deck and hot tub for evenings outdoors, plus a front-yard fire pit beside a pond with a water feature for gathering with friends. A 36x40 detached garage includes a guest bedroom with a half bath, ideal for visitors or a home office, while the 40x42 barn/shop handles vehicles and Montana-sized toys, and a 10x16 shed rounds out the storage. Short-term rentals are allowed, adding flexibility for investment or personal use. Move-in ready since the exterior has been recently painted! This is the kind of peaceful Montana retreat that's hard to find this close to public land.
