Property Description
Situated on the south shore of Duck Lake in Glacier County, Montana, this meticulously maintained waterfront property is now available for the first time in over forty years. Spanning just under one acre, the property features several outbuildings and a home, all equipped with metal roofs and maintenance-free siding. The residence encompasses 1,548 square feet, offering three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, all conveniently located on a single level with an open-concept layout. This remarkable property boasts numerous features and luxuries that contribute to comfort, convenience, and bliss. The residence can serve as a full-time home or a vacation retreat, coming fully furnished with showroom-quality sofas and bunk beds in the bedrooms. Its turnkey status allows for immediate enjoyment. The sellers have thoughtfully prepared everything, enabling buyers to appreciate the allure of this waterfront haven. The living room includes two 8-foot bunks with lighting situated in a cozy corner nook. The elegantly decorated primary bedroom ensures ultimate comfort, while the ensuite bathroom features a double vanity and a separate shower area. The home offers abundant storage throughout and is heated by a warm woodstove in the living room, complemented by a propane heater that is rarely needed. An electric fireplace enhances the ambiance. The kitchen is fully stocked with maple cabinetry and a walk-in pantry, and five hardwired security cameras ensure safety and security.
An expansive 8’ x 62’ screened porch invites you to relax while enjoying breathtaking sunsets behind the majestic Rocky Mountains. The property includes two detached garages, one of which is a 24’ x 50’ pull-through shop/garage, ideal for parking a boat, camper, side-by-side, or vehicles.
With 160 feet of shoreline, create lasting memories on Duck Lake, where a retractable 72’ dock provides direct access to the trout-filled waters. Bring your boat, kayak, paddleboard, swimsuit, and fishing gear to fully embrace this serene setting. For those chilly days when the lake is frozen, the ice fishing house offers a heated alternative for winter activities. Duck Lake is stocked twice a year with Rainbow Trout, making it a prime location for fishing enthusiasts. While enjoying the tranquil blue waters, be captivated by views of Chief Mountain and Glacier National Park, with the Saint Mary’s entrance just 12 miles away and Many Glacier a mere 30 minutes away. Additionally, Waterton National Park lies just over the US-Canadian border, offering more breathtaking vistas and wildlife experiences.
Some properties around the lake primarily operate as VRBOs and are consistently booked from April to October, attracting tourists due to their proximity to national parks. Owners can enjoy the property between rentals, making it a worthwhile investment. The property is accessible year-round, and winterization is straightforward, requiring only a few adjustments to the system, all water lines are located in the ceiling and drain via gravity. Heating tape in the well provides added peace of mind during extreme cold spells, while R12 insulation ensures impenetrable warmth and protection.
As the day gently fades below the horizon and the kids tire from the property’s zipline adventure, the sunsets over Duck Lake become a picturesque spectacle. Gather around the firepit in the “Outback” for a cozy evening, complete with marshmallows and a hammock for relaxation. Hinged covers open to reveal screened areas that capture stunning views, natural light, and vibrant stars on clear nights. If you have ever wished for a turnkey lake house near a world-renowned national park embodying the enchantment of Montana, this is your chance at an incredible, one-of-a-kind property!
