UNDER CONTRACT in Whitefish. 🥾🚲🏂

752 Patton Lane is under contract with a young couple who live for the outdoors. Hiking. Biking. Snowboarding. And a whole lot more that does not fit in a caption.

This completely remodeled 2-bedroom Quonset is the launch pad. Mountain views of Whitefish Mountain Resort from the property. The Whitefish Trail system minutes away. Whitefish Lake State Park and the boat launch close by. Downtown when the day is done.

Move-in ready. Open layout. Modern finishes. A big carport for the bikes, boards, and gear. Then out the door and into the outdoors!

Congratulations to buyers who just matched the house to the life. Adventure starts here. 🏔️✨

UNDER CONTRACT in Whitefish. 🏡🏔️

6305 Locarno Drive, Unit G, in Monterra is officially under contract. A ground-floor, single-level condo overlooking the pond and pool, with a private patio, two bedrooms, two baths, and a garage. Lock it and leave it. Come back whenever the family is ready.

Summer means Glacier National Park, lake days, and downtown Whitefish a few minutes away. Winter means Whitefish Mountain Resort and a warm place to come back to after the lifts close. Either season, they will not be booking a hotel. They will be coming home.

Monterra does the rest. Pool, hot tub, fitness center, theater, fire pit, pickleball and tennis, all on site. Low maintenance. Easy for the whole crew.

Congratulations to buyers who are about to give their family a launch point for every visit to the Flathead. ✨

Almost home.

SOLD at Whitefish Mountain Resort. ⛷️🏡

325 Moose Run Drive is officially under new ownership, and this buyer is ready for the best of both worlds.

Ski-in / ski-out at Whitefish Mountain Resort just steps above the main lodge. Step out the door and onto the slopes. Come back to a private hot tub overlooking the mountain. Four bedrooms, two primary suites, and room for 14+ so the whole family can pile in.

She gets the family ski weeks. She gets a proven winter and summer rental that cash flows. And she gets to put this asset to work with meaningful tax savings before year end.

Powder and Pines Chalet. Fully furnished. Short-term rentals allowed. Direct slope access and gear storage. This is the rare one that works as a legacy family place and an investment.

Congratulations to an investor who knew exactly what she wanted and went after it. 🏔️✨

Another one closed at the mountain.

Under Contract ✅

Thrilled to represent an investor client going under contract on 258 Opal Drive in The Quarry, one of Whitefish’s most convenient mountain-modern communities. 🏔️

This is the kind of place a family keeps coming back to. 3 bedrooms, high-end finishes, a private corner setting, and a back patio with a firepit 🔥 and mountain views 🌄. The Snow Bus 🚌 is steps away, Whitefish Mountain Resort 🎿 is about 10 minutes, and downtown is an easy ride. Pool, hot tub, fitness center, and clubhouse are right in the community. 🏊

She is buying it as an investment 📈 and for years of family ski vacations 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 in one of the best spots in the valley. Powder days, firepit nights, and a home base they will not have to fight for every winter.

Honored to help her lock this one in. 🙌
