965 Eastman Drive, Bigfork, MT 59911

Property Description

Beyond the gate, a winding approach through nearly 6.95 acres of curated grounds reveals a turnkey Swan River estate of rare presence and composure, where native landscape, architectural scale, and waterfront serenity come together in one extraordinary Bigfork setting. Anchored by 337 feet of river frontage, the property unfolds with a 6,140 square foot turnkey main residence and a 613 square foot guest house, each positioned to take in the quiet beauty of the water, towering trees, and surrounding mountain backdrop. A striking stone exterior and covered porch set the tone for what awaits inside, where the entry opens to a soaring foyer and a sculptural curved staircase that immediately establishes the home’s sense of craftsmanship and drama. In the great room, a commanding stone fireplace, custom built-ins, and coffered ceilings with substantial wood beams create a gathering space that feels both intimate and expansive. The kitchen is richly appointed for both everyday living and large-scale entertaining, with statement stonework, premium appliances, an eat-at island, and a pantry framed by a distinctive Bali Temple door that gives the space a worldly, collected feel. The main level primary suite is a private retreat with its own sitting room, two walk-in closets, a spacious bath, and direct access to a deck overlooking the river. Upstairs, guest bedrooms, a den or library with fireplace and built-in shelving, and additional sitting areas open to balconies that capture the shifting light across the water. The space above the garage has been transformed into an additional bedroom suite with a full bath and sitting area, offering flexibility for guests, extended stays, or private overflow accommodations. The lower level adds yet another layer of livability with spaces for recreation, fitness, and relaxation. Outdoors, the estate lives as beautifully as it looks. Sweeping lawn, walking paths, river access, a firepit, heated greenhouse with running water, barn, and wood shed create a property equally suited for quiet mornings, summer gatherings, and seasons of intentional retreat. Recent enhancements have further refined the experience, including new sod, selective tree removal, a new front entry fence, a new patio for the hot tub, a new electric hot tub cover, and a new patio off the primary bedroom. Thoughtful infrastructure improvements, including a reworked irrigation system with filtration, updated pump, expanded electrical work, upgraded IT and whole-house Wi-Fi capability, and an integrated camera system from the front gate to the river, bring modern function to this deeply private riverfront setting. Completing the compound, the guest house offers a remodeled kitchen and a welcoming, self-contained space for visitors or long-term stays. The result is a legacy property that feels secluded yet connected, refined yet grounded, and unmistakably shaped by the rhythm of the Swan River.
