Description
Discover serene living in this custom-built, energy-efficient family home, nestled just across from St. Mary Lake. This unique 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence offers warm, character-filled interiors with elegant French doors, beautiful oak, fir and tile flooring, a classic Heartland cookstove, abundant skylights that fill the home with natural light, and expansive wrap-around decking overlooking a private backyard forest of towering Douglas Firs. A large workshop or secondary suite is thoughtfully attached by a breezeway—ideal for guests, multi-generational living, creative projects, or potential rental income. The level, sunny 1.1-acre property is dotted with firs and is close to the lake for swimming, fishing, and boating. Originally designed for solar power and true off-grid independence (including a built-in diesel generator), this home is perfect for those seeking sustainability, privacy, and a deep connection to nature. Live free, live well—your lakeside sanctuary awaits.
