1655 Lost Creek Drive | Kalispell
This country home on acreage is ideal sportsman or equestrian property. Nestled atop a hill with a large flat yard, surrounding timber, and an adjacent meadow planted with clover and equine mix - this is a classic northwestern Montana estate. This 3,248 square foot, 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home features a rugged and rustic architectural design perfect for those that love the great outdoors. Additional irrigation rights are listed with this property by the DNRC - which would enable the possibility of an irrigated hay field or pasture for horses! The conversion into an equestrian estate would be trivial on this land! The home comes with a two car attached garage, large commercial-grade 60x48 heated shop, gazebo, fenced garden, two sheds, and a dog kennel/run. Light CCRs accompany the property. The property is able to be subdivided into two parcels - and two homes are permitted per parcel. Call Joe Sangimino / Tanner Rauk at (406) 407-4287, or your real estate professional. LAND - they aren’t making any more of it! The trail system, healthy / thinned timber, grass/clover mixes all demonstrate the level of stewardship that has gone into this property. There is a large plateau on the hilltop and additional low lying flatland by the shop - both of which would be suitable as future pasture for horses if cleared. The sellers worked with the forest service to have the property thinned four years ago for fire mitigation. This has created both a lush habitat for wildlife, as well as aesthetics comparable to that of a state park. Deer, turkey, bears, lions - and a variety of other wild game species frequent the property. The bordering public land provides access to Flathead National Forest, Ray Kuhns Wildlife Management area, and a number of ponds and lakes that are hike-in access only. The sellers reported that the road on the east side of the property (Pete Ridge) has a gate that is opened sometime around the 4th of July every year - providing access to the road infrastructure through-out the public land to high clearance 4x4s and UTVs. It doesn’t take long to notice how meticulously cared for and maintained the improvements on the property have been. A wrap around porch offers the perfect place to drink your morning coffee. The upstairs features beautiful hardwood floors, large picture windows, and a stone fireplace creating an earthly natural ambience. The elegant kitchen has been outfitted with custom cherry cabinetry, quartz countertops, over-cabinet and under cabinet lighting, a propane stove, and newer appliances. The master bedroom has its own entrance from the porch, a spacious bathroom with a tiled shower, and a walk in closet. There are two bedrooms and two full bathrooms upstairs, while two bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms are downstairs. There is an additional living room downstairs and a patio. The home has electric, well-water, a septic system, and the sellers have utilized Starlink high speed internet (although Centurylink cable internet is available). The home is equipped with a newer Lenox air source electric heat pump with a variable speed handler. It also has central air conditioning. There is cell service on the upper portion of the property with Verizon. The well pump was replaced approx 7 years ago and the septic was pumped two years ago. The 60x48 shop is exceptionally clean, well designed, and organized. It features a 10’ garage door, in-floor radiant heat (not currently used), an electric wall heater, butcher block work benches, water hookups inside, a frost freeze on the exterior, and both 110 and 220 amp electric outlets on every wall. It was designed with custom carpentry in mind and was outfitted accordingly with wall mounted air compressor lines, a commercial vacuum system, septic future pipe stub, concrete floors, and insulated walls. The shop overhang provides additional storage for your toys, or could easily be converted into horse stalls. Cell reception at the shop is poor, so it was equipped with C MTR 30030405
