About This Home

This rare private inholding within Glacier National Park presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a piece of one of America’s most iconic landscapes. Set along the pristine shoreline of Lake McDonald this property offers unmatched access, privacy, and natural beauty that cannot be replicated with 103 feet of shoreline on three tracts totaling 1.55 acres. (Call listing agent for building guidelines and expansion possibilities). The 2 bedroom cabin offers sweeping lake and mountain views, crystal-clear waters, and direct access to Glacier’s wilderness, the property delivers a truly immersive Montana experience. Whether preserved as a legacy retreat or thoughtfully enhanced, this offering represents both an emotional and investment-grade opportunity. Surrounded by National Park lands, opportunities like this are extraordinarily limited—and increasingly rare. National park land is no longer sold inside the park, so you will be one of the limited number of owners with the unique opportunity to live and recreate amidst this protected wilderness which offers unparalleled beauty and solitude. The cabin has been well maintained with 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath and kitchen which opens to a living area with majestic mountain views. Take advantage of the full wrap-around deck and walking path to your private beach area on Lake McDonald. If you want to create an one-of-a-kind opportunity for your family for generations to come, this is it. The lot is perfect for launching your canoe or paddle boat and does allow for a private dock. Self-propelled boats allowed. Separate storage access from lower level. Starlink works well here so those who need connection the world wide web can access easily. No zoning and no covenants. Buyers encouraged to check the evolving federal jurisdictional regulatory landscape for any changes in the law with regards to building or remodeling within GNP. Glacier Park now requires a permit for any property operating as a lodging establishment on privately owned lands in Glacier National Park. Listing Agents will meet you Apgar Village to escort you to the property. 24 hours notice preferred. Buyers to prequalify with their agents prior to showings.
