Escape the neighborhoods and embrace the Montana lifestyle on this private 3-acre retreat in Marion. Built in 2018 with the original owner, this thoughtfully designed home offers the freedom, privacy and flexibility today's buyers are searching for-all with easy year-round access just off the state highway and approximately 30 minutes from Kalispell's shopping, dining, medical services and employment centers. Surrounded by mature trees with no neighboring homes dominating your view, this property offers peace and seclusion that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. With Scenic Corridor zoning, no HOA and no covenants, you'll have the flexibility to enjoy your property your way-whether that's parking your RV, boat, trailers and recreational equipment, creating additional outdoor living space, or simply enjoying room to breathe. One of this property's most unique features is its location bordering thousands of acres of private timberland that provides public recreational access under the landowner's established rules and regulations. Step beyond your property line to enjoy hunting, hiking, wildlife and endless opportunities to experience Northwest Montana's great outdoors. Inside, the 1,664-square-foot home is designed for comfortable, efficient living. The main level features an inviting open-concept living, dining and kitchen area centered around a cozy wood-burning stove, while large picture windows fill the home with natural light and showcase the surrounding wooded landscape. A full bathroom, dedicated laundry/utility room and an attached finished, heated single-car garage complete the main level. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, a three-quarter bath and a spacious loft that easily adapts to your lifestyle as a home office, media room, library, hobby space or additional gathering area. Relax on the front patio, explore your acreage or spend your weekends enjoying nearby McGregor Lake, part of the Thompson Chain of Lakes, and Little Bitterroot Lake, offering boating, fishing, camping, paddling and year-round outdoor recreation just minutes from home. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a peaceful mountain retreat, a seasonal getaway or an investment property with short-term rental potential, this home delivers the privacy, freedom and outdoor lifestyle that make Northwest Montana so desirable.
