Description
Set above Lakeside, Montana, with mountain and Flathead Lake views, 1549 Blacktail Road offers privacy, scale, and refined Northwest Montana living on 24.75 acres. This newly constructed luxury barndominium captures the feel of a private mountain residence on acreage, with space to breathe and room to roam while remaining connected to the recreation, services, and lifestyle of the Flathead Valley.
Construction began in 2024 with a strong emphasis on craftsmanship, comfort, and functional design. The residence offers approximately 5,746 square feet of living area across two levels, with 5 bedrooms, 1 additional nonconforming flex room, 2 full bathrooms, 2 three-quarter bathrooms, and 1 half bathroom. The home was designed around generous gathering spaces, elevated finishes, and a flexible layout well suited for full-time living, extended stays, hosting family and guests, or multi-generational use. An additional 5-acre adjoining lot may also be available upon request.
The upper level is anchored by a soaring open great room with exposed wood ceiling detail, a fireplace, expansive windows, and direct access to the upper-level deck overlooking Flathead Lake. The kitchen connects naturally to the main living area and features quartz surfaces, high-end appliances, a pot filler, integrated wine cooler, wine storage, wood cabinetry, brass hardware, and clean modern detail.
The primary suite offers generous scale, warm wood ceiling detail, natural light, and a private upper-level setting. The suite includes a walk-in closet with built-in storage and a full bathroom with dual vanity, freestanding soaking tub, walk-in shower, black fixtures, and a clean modern design. The additional upper-level bedroom is served by a three-quarter bathroom and includes a walk-in closet, creating a practical layout for guests or family without sacrificing privacy from the primary suite.
The lower level continues the home's scale with a second great room, its own wood-burning fireplace, an additional kitchen area, bedrooms, bathrooms, and direct access to the covered lower-level patio. The lower kitchen features wood cabinetry, a large island, built-in wine storage, and added prep space, making the level especially useful for entertaining, hosting guests, or creating separation between living areas. Upgraded floor construction between levels helps create quieter separation between the upper and lower living spaces. Additional bedrooms and flexible rooms on this level provide space for guests, hobbies, fitness, office use, or storage, including one nonconforming flex room with laundry hookups.
Outdoor living is a defining feature of the property. Both the upper-level wood deck and covered lower-level patio capture Flathead Lake views, creating multiple areas for dining, entertaining, relaxing, and taking in the surrounding mountain landscape. The oversized finished garage offers approximately 1,584 square feet of space for vehicles, equipment, storage, or workshop use.
Modern systems and functional details support year-round comfort, including smart home features by Level Up Automation of Montana, Starlink on site, central air conditioning, radiant floor heat in the bathrooms, an electric heat pump with propane backup, propane water heaters, propane-supported appliances and upper-level fireplace, a wood-burning lower-level fireplace, a water softener, and a French drain behind the home.
With substantial interior space, lake-view outdoor living, an oversized garage, flexible lower-level accommodations, and a private 24.75-acre setting, 1549 Blacktail Road presents a distinctive Lakeside-area property with the scale, comfort, and setting to serve as a primary residence, private retreat, or long-term Montana holding.
