INVESTMENT POTENTIAL AND SHORT TERM RENTALS PERMITTED. NO HOAT OR CCRS. FURNISHINGS INCLUDED. Views over Flathead Lake and of the Swan and Mission Mountain Ranges! Extensive short term rental track record with a long history. No covenants, no deed restrictions, no HOA. Set in the middle of a private, tree-wrapped parcel, this well-kept +/-1.97-acre tract delivers an unusual amount of privacy for its size while sitting right on the west shore corridor of Flathead Lake. The 1991 two-story home offers generous living space across two floors—six bedrooms, four bathrooms, and roughly +/-3,129 square feet—with large rooms, two living areas, and big lake-facing windows in the main living room. An upstairs porch with an awning looks out over the lake! The downstairs deck features a hot tub and the yard includes a firepit, fence, and shed that complete the grounds. Access is via a long paved private driveway shared with the neighbor(s). This is a hidden gem of a property providing an sizeable, private residence surrounded by timber - for an affordable price per square foot! Remodeling will maximize the value! The home has been carefully maintained over the years and is move-in ready, while still presenting its original character. The outdatedness of the interior presents investment potential for the do-it-yourself types - balanced by years of being well cared for and loved. That combination is the opportunity: proven income history plus real value-add in a location and square footage that reward thoughtful updates over time. The price per square foot is hard to beat for lake-view living with this much house. Features include a heated two-car garage, real hardwood floors upstairs, a real brick fireplace with gas insert, shared well water, septic system, and a newer heat pump for efficient heating and cooling. For an investment-minded owner who can improve the home over time, this is a livable investment from day one—occupy it, continue the short-term rental use, or both—without covenants dictating how you use the land. The property sits just south of the heart of Lakeside along US Highway 93—minutes from town amenities, the Harbor Grill/marina, and everyday services. Glacier Park International Airport is approximately 25 miles north (about a 30-minute drive). The west entrance to Glacier National Park at West Glacier is roughly an hour away. Lakeside is a waterfront community on the west-shore of Flathead Lake and is a popular summer destination for outdoor recreation! Flathead Lake is the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi in the Lower 48—about 28 miles long, up to 15 miles wide, nearly 200 square miles of surface, and more than 370 feet deep in places, with roughly 185 miles of shoreline. The lake is a year-round fishery known for lake trout, lake whitefish, perch, and pike, with public access, marinas, and charters close at hand. Directly above town, Blacktail Mountain Ski Area offers north-facing skiing on National Forest land (about 250 inches of average snowfall, 1,400+ feet of vertical) via Blacktail Road out of Lakeside. Volunteer Park, West Shore State Park a few miles south, and the broader Flathead Valley recreation network—hiking, boating, hunting, and mountain biking—sit within an easy drive. A private, view-oriented tract with scale, rental history, and no HOA, in a location that already works as both a home and an investment. Buyer to verify all systems, finishes, and rental regulations.
