Improved Land for Sale in Kalispell, Montana
1695 Whalebone Dr Kalispell, MT 59901
Welcome to the T Bar A Ranch, one of Kalispell, Montana's most prominent and historic
properties. Boasting 74 +/- acres of irrigated pasture lands, mature timber, a half mile of Ashley
Creek frontage, and only a few miles from downtown Kalispell, this truly is one of the finest
estates in Montana's famed Flathead Valley.
Perfectly positioned overlooking both Ashley Creek and the surrounding ranges of mountains
sits an impeccably maintained, recently updated Frank Lloyd Wright - inspired home that combines Prairie and Usonian themes. Designed by one of Frank Lloyd Wright's apprentices from Bozeman, MT, this home was thoughtfully designed over multiple years to best utilize its positioning to capture the most natural light and maximize its efficiency in all seasons. The spacious 2900 +/- sq ft home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, modern kitchen, and spacious living room which walks out to a large deck where one can sit and listen to the water flowing in nearby Ashley Creek or watch the resident deer and turkey stroll by. While many
tasteful updates have been done over the past several years, the owners have done an outstanding
job maintaining the timeless design and style of this eloquent home.
Outside, you will find an oversized 2-car garage and nearby Quonset facility suitable as an
indoor equestrian facility or ideal to store equipment or the necessary "toys" to take full
advantage of all the recreation opportunities available in the Flathead Valley.
Adjacent to the residential improvements lie 34 +/- acres of well-improved and irrigated alfalfa
pasture which typically provides two hay cuttings per year as well as grazing for cows in the late
summer and fall. Also near the home is a productive apple orchard with mature tress possibly
dating back to when the property featured one of Kalispell's first dairy farms in the early 19 th
century.
Highway 2 travels along the northern boundary of the property and offers many possible
opportunities for both residential or commercial development.
The area surrounding the T Bar A Ranch property offers an abundance of outdoor and
recreational activities with something for just about everyone. The famous Rebecca Farms
equestrian facility is less than 2 1/2 miles away. Anchoring the region is Glacier National Park
and its 1 million acres of public lands available for an array of activities including hiking, biking,
horseback riding, skiing, fishing, and hunting. Nearby Flathead Lake is the largest natural
freshwater lake west of the Mississippi with over 200 sq miles of water and 185 miles of
shoreline, offering some of the best boating and fishing in Montana. Whitefish Mountain Resort,
Blacktail Mountain Ski Area, Turner Mountain Ski Area, and the Montana Snowbowl are all
short drives away for those seeking to take advantage of the nearby ski slopes during the winter
months. The city of Kalispell has a population of about 25,000 people and offers a diverse range
of restaurants, bars, and shopping options as well as Glacier Park International Airport which
offer daily flight services to several large airports across the west.
