Where Wilderness Meets Freedom: A 20-Acre Swan Valley Legacy Estate Tucked away in the heart of the Swan Valley, where Pierce Creek bubbles under a private bridge and flows directly into the Flathead National Forest, lies a rare 20-acre homestead free from any covenants or HOA restrictions. Offering a masterfully remodeled log cabin home and a massive, commercial-grade workshop, this dual-lot property (5449 MT-83 and 336 Old Barn Road) perfectly balances wilderness seclusion with premier infrastructure. Wake up to abundant wildlife signs, walk out your back door into thousands of acres of public land, or spend your mornings cultivating crops in the permitted greenhouse and raised garden beds. The 1,500 SF log cabin features classic Montana architecture: main-level primary living, an open loft, vaulted ceilings, and a roaring Blaze King wood stove. To make this home a seamless fit, the sellers are offering a $15,000 buyer credit to build out a custom master bathroom addition. Across the creek via your private, permitted bridge sits the second independent lot. Fully equipped with its own well, power, and approved Missoula County septic, it is entirely build-ready for a second custom home, guest cabin, or family compound expansion. The adjacent 2,900 SF shop is an absolute masterpiece-outfitted with radiant floor heat, a cold pantry, vault storage, 200-amp service, and space for 5+ vehicles or heavy implements. This is more than a home; it's a self-sustaining Montana lifestyle. No Covenants. Forest service borders 2 sides with a corner marker at the edge of the property. Garden with Raised beds, Permitted green house with rain catchment system. Chicken coop and additional storage sheds and wood storage. 2012 custom built oversized 4+ car (2000 sq. ft.) shop building with 2023 fully finished, 900 sq. ft. insulated addition with radiant floor heating, additional loft storage area, and several rooms to do with as you choose (including a bathroom ready area with floor drain installed).
