With farmland quickly disappearing to massive subdivisions and the ever-increasing traffic of Whitefish and Kalispell, this property is sited in the picturesque Highway 206 corridor of Columbia Falls. Far from water/sewer infrastructure, this rapidly gentrifying area is far outside any path of future mass development potential and the gridlock that comes with it, while still being close to the amenities such development provides.

This property is on high ground, with no HOA, covenants, deed restrictions, or area ordinances and is outside the new airport overlay. An ideal wedding/event/concert venue, VRBO or family compound.
