1822 Echo Cabin Loop, Bigfork, MT, 59911
About This Home
Escape to the ultimate, sun-drenched Montana lake life with this rare, fully deeded Echo Lake treasure—a pristine 0.85-acre sanctuary offering absolute, permanent ownership on a coveted point where many neighboring properties are merely leased. Boasting 170 feet of prime, crystal-clear main channel frontage, you will enjoy deep, weed-free water, a flat gravel beach, and a premier south/southwest exposure that guarantees all-day sunshine, late-evening swims, and front-row seats to legendary Montana sunsets. Spend your days launching paddleboards from the newer 8x24' dock or utilizing the invaluable, grandfathered 8x12' waterfront boathouse—an irreplaceable footprint under current zoning guidelines that keeps your water skis and lake toys steps from the water. Whether you choose to enjoy the charming 500-square-foot classic summer cabin as a nostalgic retreat or capitalize on the professionally cleared acreage to build your custom lakefront legacy, the property is highly versatile, featuring a spacious upper lot ideal for guest parking or a future guest house. Complete with two lake-draw water rights, a straightforward layout for a future septic system, and viable paths for a deep well or a UV lake-water filtration system, this is an extraordinary, build-ready canvas designed for your dream waterfront lifestyle.
