920 & 928 Bailey Dr, Columbia Falls, MT, 59912
About This Home
Tucked beneath a canopy of mature trees just 10 minutes north of Columbia Falls, this enchanting creek side retreat offers the perfect blend of privacy, recreation, and Montana character. With 660+ feet of Nine Mile Creek flowing through the property, you'll enjoy a seasonal swimming hole, a natural spring, and a setting that feels worlds away. A custom staircase leads to the secluded 880-sq-ft main cabin. Thoughtfully updated over the past four years, it beautifully blends rustic craftsmanship with modern comforts. The upstairs bedroom opens to a private deck overlooking the trees, while the inviting living area features a cozy wood stove. The updated kitchen/dining area offers warm gathering spaces, and the beautifully remodeled bathroom features custom log walls, a soaking tub, and a tile-and-stone walk-in shower. The charming, detached A-frame has electricity and is completely remodeled with a queen Murphy bed, dining area, and electric heat. A separate bathhouse offers a flush toilet, sink, and outdoor shower, creating a comfortable guest space. The A-frame has operated as a successful short-term rental (buyers to verify regulations). Outdoor living highlights include a covered porch, fire pit, lawn, garden space, and a spacious shop/storage building. Whether you're enjoying morning coffee beside the creek or gathering under Montana's star-filled skies, this property is designed for making lasting memories. Recent Improvements: Indoor Plumbing! New electrical service & plumbing (2023–2024) New 3-bedroom septic system (2023) 900-gallon buried water cistern serving the cabin and bath house. Hardwired high-speed internet! New roofs on main cabin and shop (2026) and so much more! Bailey Lake public access is a short walk away, with Spoon Lake and Glacier National Park just minutes away. This one-of-a-kind creek side retreat offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the beauty, tranquility, and adventure of Montana from your own private sanctuary.
