Rare opportunity just hit the market between Kalispell and Whitefish! 🏔️

38 acres with 2 existing luxury homes + 7 additional buildable lots. All infrastructure already in place. Each of the 9 lots is approximately 2 acres, plus a shared 20-acre parcel perfect for horses or livestock. Amazing mountain views in every direction.

Favorable zoning makes this an ideal upscale STR neighborhood with serious room to grow. Gated privacy, open pasture, and a location that puts you minutes from the airport, downtown Kalispell, and Whitefish.

Live in one, rent the other, build more… or develop the whole package. This kind of setup almost never comes available in Northwest Montana.
