About This Home

500 Wild Swan Trail

A rare three-residence, approx. 6900 sq. ft. estate in the Swan Range foothills on 20.23, bordering public land with trails leading directly into the state and national forest. The 3,900 sq ft, 3-bed/2.5-bath Craig Stoddard-designed residence centers on a soaring great room: vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling, wide-plank floors, a two-sided stacked stone fireplace with wraparound hearth serving both great room and formal dining with wet-bar alcove, and walls of windows framing the Swan Range. The chef's kitchen: oversized live-edge granite island, pro dual-oven gas range beneath a hand-forged hood, knotty-alder cabinetry, built-in Subzero, walk-in pantry with standing freezer, and corner windows overlook a pond, waterfall and lawn — a front-row vista to wildlife. The primary suite has its own wood stove, steam shower, and window-wrapped jetted spa tub. Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a Jack-and-Jill bath with soaking tub and shower, a library nook sits between them, and a screened porch tucks into the trees. A grand office with walk-in closet flexes as guest room. The powder room boasts a stone vessel sink on live-edge granite, with slate floors that extend to the side entry, laundry, and dog-wash station. Beyond the craftsmanship: radiant heat, two wood stoves, Sonos sound system, Hue lighting, and high-speed internet. Hardie-plank siding, metal roof, stone entry, and Trex deck offer wildfire resistance. Two more Stoddard-designed residences: a 2,199 sq ft 3-bed/2-bath craftsman guest home and an 800 sq ft studio with deck — ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or rentals. Grassy paths link the homes around a Von Trapp-designed stone waterfall studded pond. The working acreage is fully equipped: two animal barns, utility barn, two chicken coops, an all-season greenhouse, and a Quonset hut. Private well with water rights. Minutes from Bigfork, this property offers privacy, income potential, and beauty in one exceptional package. The following information provides additional details to what is written above: Some estates are bought. This one was envisioned, drawn, and built by hand, and is offered for the first time. It began with the owners' own sketches, developed into a custom design by Craig Stoddard of Stoddard Construction & Design — one of the Flathead Valley's most respected custom home designers — and completed by Mountain High Construction in the fall of 2014. The two guest residences and the landscaping are Stoddard's own work as well, created as his personal homes before he sold the land to the current owners. A true labor of love, its intention shows in every join, beam, and stone. That intention lives in the details. The metalwork is local and handmade throughout — CMT Fabrications forged the hood and Damon Designs forged the stair banister, fireplace doors, and island corbels — gallery-quality character no production build can replicate. Beneath the staircase, a wet bar alcove has a hammered-metal sink and floating glass shelving above a granite counter. The kitchen integrates a stacked natural-stone backsplash, island face and side wall behind a wood-burning stove, and a built-in banquette breakfast nook. Primary bathroom features travertine tile and dual tiled vanities with built-in mirrored medicine cabinets. The generous laundry room with pull-out ironing board, deep sink and dog wash adds elegant functionality. Above the two-car heated garage and mech room is a semi-finished bonus space reached by drop-down ladder, ready to be converted into a fifth bedroom, studio, or office. The guest homes are turnkey and fully furnished, with more than a decade of operating history under the Wild Swan Retreat name. The elegant 3-bedroom craftsman listed as "The Retreat Center" carries the estate's architecture at a more intimate scale. A stone-and-timber portico opens over stamped concrete, a sun and moon pressed into the slab at the doorway. Inside the stained-glass craftsman door, that same concrete continues in a more refined register — acid-stained to a mottled amber, warm underfoot over radiant heat — carrying through the foyer, dining area, and kitchen. Wide-plank floors run beneath a vaulted great room of tongue-and-groove and exposed beam that gathers the forest through the same arching craftsman windows found in all three homes, where a wood-burning stove sits in a stacked-stone surround above a slab hearth across from a wall of built-in library and entertainment shelving. The chef's kitchen is fitted with knotty-alder faced refrigerator, dishwasher and cabinetry, a professional gas range beneath a tile-clad hood, a granite farmhouse sink set beneath a window to the woods, and a mosaic backsplash studded with locally commissioned art tiles. The primary bedroom vaults to its own peak with a French door to the lawn, and its bath centers on a sunken tub tiled to the sill beneath a window — a "Guest Favorite" rated 9.6/10 on Vrbo and 4.92/5 on Airbnb. The studio guest home, listed as "The Treehouse," offers an enchanted perch amongst the trees. Its indoor space and large deck sit above a carport and an extra-deep single-car heated garage with pantry and workbench. Inside, lath-and-plaster walls meet a vaulted ceiling of rough-hewn timber, and a Damon Designs iron ladder climbs to a loft tucked beneath the peak. A wall of picture windows look over a small, fenced yard beneath, with the same forest and mountain view beyond — a romantic getaway with a full chef's kitchen and a therapeutic steam shower; likewise a "Guest Favorite," at 9.8/10 and 4.88/5. Together they have earned more than 200 reviews under a longtime Superhost: a reputation that transfers with the property and that no new listing can manufacture. Any continued rental operation is subject to approval and re-licensing with Flathead County. Beyond the lawns and manicured landscaping, wildflowers and towering pines give way to forest. A swing hangs from two of them near the pond's edge. Under an hour to Glacier Park International Airport and Glacier National Park. Created from owner vision, built by hand, and now available for the first time.
