Remarks: Beck Homestead is the real Montana in the heart of history. Adjoining the Swan River near Cold Creek, this 80-acre property has been transformed from a simple working homestead into an inspiring Montana dream come true. The large meadows and lush forests have been thoughtfully managed to promote forest health and wildlife. It's common to sit on the deck and watch deer and elk while marsh hawks and sandhill cranes fly above. A clear, perennial spring-fed creek flows through the property, with water rights for both stock watering and irrigation for the fenced, horse-ready pastures. The mountain views, trout fishing, and abundant wildlife provide never-ending wonder.The original homestead cabin still stands, near a newer hand-built log cabin raised from logs harvested on site. In 2001, local log craftsmen transformed the large cow/hay barn into a one-of-a-kind facility that features a great room and office, upstairs sleeping quarters, and a big open-air loft. The conservation easement allows commercial and residential uses as well as construction of one additional residence with associated outbuildings. The multipurpose barn has been leased regularly for the past 20 years and can provide steady income. Recreational and educational commercial special use days in the Swan Valley and surrounding areas are potentially available separately.
As a home for your business or as a secluded Montana retreat, 1200 Ed Road is the perfect base of adventure for your next chapter in life. Large organic garden, excellent, reliable well water, county-maintained road, Flathead National Forest on two sides, access to tens of thousands of acres of public land.
