An Exceptional Equestrian Estate in Whitefish, Montana!
A rare opportunity within one of the region’s premier ranch communities, this extraordinary 38-acre estate captures the very essence of luxury Montana living. Privately positioned at the end of a secluded, gated drive and framed by sweeping mountain vistas, the property offers an exceptional combination of refined living, equestrian capability, privacy, and natural beauty.
Thoughtfully designed for those who value both sophistication and the freedom of the Montana lifestyle, the estate provides a remarkable setting for horses, livestock, recreation, entertaining, and everyday living, all surrounded by the dramatic landscape that makes Northwest Montana so extraordinary.
Just minutes from downtown Whitefish and approximately 30 minutes from Glacier National Park, the property feels wonderfully removed while remaining remarkably connected. Championship skiing, boating, hiking, trail riding, mountaineering, golf, and exceptional dining are all within easy reach.
This is more than a luxury residence. It is a private Montana retreat, an equestrian estate, and a legacy property in one of the West’s most sought-after destinations.
For those seeking acreage, privacy, mountain views, and an elevated way of life without sacrificing proximity to Whitefish, opportunities of this caliber are truly rare. **THE MAIN RESIDENCE**
At the heart of the estate is a beautifully reimagined three-bedroom, three-bath residence, completely renovated down to the studs to blend contemporary sophistication with authentic Montana character. Once the original homestead for the Exclusive Spring Prairie Ranchette Subdivision, the home has been thoughtfully transformed for modern living while preserving a meaningful connection to the land and its history.
Expansive windows draw the outdoors in, capturing pastoral views and the surrounding Montana landscape, while carefully selected finishes create an atmosphere that is warm, refined, and distinctly Western. Outside, a private hot tub offers a peaceful place to unwind year-round beneath Montana’s expansive skies.
**EQUESTRIAN & RANCH IMPROVEMENTS**
Purposefully designed for serious equestrian use and efficient ranch operations, the property offers an impressive collection of thoughtfully planned improvements.
The heated eight-stall barn features custom floating floors with premium rubber matting, individual exterior paddocks for each stall, a dedicated wash bay, tack room, and private bathroom. The full 38 acres are fenced, with seven cross-fenced pastures providing flexibility for horses, livestock, grazing, and pasture management.
Additional improvements include an oversized heated three-car garage with a beautifully finished caretaker or guest apartment above, a substantial 40' x 80' finished and heated shop with full RV-height drive-through doors, and a 30' x 60' Quonset structure providing generous storage for hay, equipment, recreational vehicles, and ranch necessities.
Every outbuilding has been recently upgraded, creating an exceptionally functional, well-maintained property ready to accommodate equestrian pursuits, livestock, recreational interests, or a combination of all three.
**THE LAND**
The land itself may be one of the estate’s greatest luxuries.
Towering Ponderosa Pines, some more than 300 years old and individually tagged and managed, stand as living monuments throughout the property. Their presence creates a remarkable sense of permanence, privacy, and connection to the generations of Montana history that came before.
Open pastures, mature timber, expansive skies, and sweeping mountain views come together across 38 fully fenced acres. Thoughtful cross fencing provides seven distinct pastures, creating an exceptional environment for horses and livestock while preserving the beauty and versatility of the land.
Adding another dimension to the property’s long-term potential, the 38 Acre estate consists of two separate parcels, including an approximately 10-acre parcel offering the opportunity for additional development. Whether envisioned for an additional residence, a future family compound, or simply preserved as part of the estate, the separate parcel provides a level of flexibility rarely found in a property of this caliber.
It is a property designed not simply to be occupied, but to be experienced.
