49 Little Cove Rd, Olney, MT 59927
What's special
The Stillwater River isn't simply the backdrop to this extraordinary Montana retreat. It is the heart of it all. Wake each morning to the gentle sound of flowing water, spend your days fly fishing from your own river frontage or exploring thousands of acres of surrounding public lands, then gather around the riverside fire pit each evening as the Stillwater flows quietly beside you beneath Montana's star filled sky. Just 25 minutes north of Whitefish, this private waterfront sanctuary offers seclusion just minutes from Whitefish Mountain Resort, Glacier National Park, Whitefish Lake, and Glacier Park International Airport. Designed for gathering family and friends, the property offers four bedrooms and four bathrooms across three separate living spaces. The beautifully crafted three bedroom, two bathroom timber frame home features soaring ceilings, expansive windows, inviting gathering spaces, and covered decks overlooking the river. Above the oversized garage, an approximately 800 square foot apartment with a full bath is ideal for guests, multi generational living, a private office, or rental income. Just steps from the water, the charming one bedroom, one bathroom guest cabin offers a peaceful riverside escape where the Stillwater becomes your evening soundtrack. Heated bathroom floors, walk in tile showers, outdoor living spaces, and a custom treehouse add comfort and character. Cast to rising trout from your own shoreline, launch a kayak, watch abundant wildlife, or hike directly into thousands of acres of protected US Forest Service and Montana lands. Private riverfront estates of this caliber are exceptionally rare, combining multiple guest accommodations, direct access to protected public lands, and one of northwest Montana's most treasured waterways. More than an extraordinary property, this is a place where children catch their first trout, stories are shared around the fire, and generations discover what it truly means to call Montana home. Main House - 1,804 sf - 3 bedrooms, 2 baths. Apartment - 800 sf - 1 bath. Guest Cabin - 485 sf - 1 bedroom, 1 bath
