Arrive at 600 Glen Lake Drive and the first thing you notice is the water - 82 feet of clear,
warm frontage on one of Montana's cleanest lakes, with a pebbled bottom visible through the
shallows and summer water temperatures reaching the mid-70s. A covered welcome porch,
complete with a hammock swing, sets the tone before you're even through the door: turn right
into the main home or left down a vaulted hallway toward the Boathouse.
The main level is a thoughtfully-updated 1969 single-wide, with a kitchen freshly renovated in
2025. New butcher-block counters, updated cabinetry, stainless appliances, new paint and
flooring anchor the kitchen and dining area, opening to a sunken living room with big windows
framing the lake, mountains and trees. Down the hall, a primary bedroom and two additional
bedrooms retain original details alongside their updates, sharing a Jack-and-Jill half bath -
ready-made space for extra guests.
The vaulted hallway's other direction leads into the kind of wood-paneled warmth that reminds
many of grandma's lakeside cabin. You step first into the Boathouse's sleeping loft, tucked under
the roofline, then down a hand-crafted log spiral staircase with rope railings to a lower level: a
home office/guest room with a front-row view of the lake, alongside a multipurpose room
currently set up for exercise. Technically a three-bedroom home, the layout comfortably sleeps
up to 10 from one end of the home to the other, and with fiber-optic internet servicing the
property, both the office and the hammock support remote work.
Outside, layered red-trimmed decks tie the whole home together, with two bar-height counters
- one covered, one open-air - for a morning coffee or evening drink overlooking Therriault
Pass and the mountains. A storage building conveniently keeps toys and tools out of the weather.
At the shoreline, a fire pit beneath a mature willow is the natural gathering spot, just steps from a grassy games lawn and the gently sloped, pebbled entry into the lake. A dock is available
separately, by negotiation, and is not included at the listing price. Paddleboard, canoe, water-ski,
wakeboard, fish, or just float: the lake does the entertaining. Winter brings skating,
snowmobiling and ice fishing right outside your door.
600 Glen Lake Drive is priced primarily for its land. The current owner has commissioned a
preliminary site plan mapping a future home - a 42.5' x 32' footprint, long side facing the lake
- with a walkout basement, two additional stories and a new, modern 3-bedroom septic system:
a genuine head start for whoever takes on the next chapter. A few honest details: domestic water
is drawn from the lake through an intake pump and UV treatment system, with a neighbor open
to sharing a future water well; the septic system, predating current permitting, was recently
inspected and is performing well; and a small, longstanding building encroachment onto the
neighboring lot is already accounted for in the site plan. None of this is urgent - it's simply the
property's history, laid out so the next owner can plan with confidence rather than guesswork.
Deer are regular company, with occasional moose and bears, in a corner of northwest Montana
as wild as it is convenient - about an hour and five minutes to Glacier Park International
Airport, under an hour to skiing at Whitefish or Fernie, with Lake Koocanusa and the town of
Eureka both close by.
Enjoy it just as it is, continue adding your own touches, or let it inspire a brand-new start. Either
way, 600 Glen Lake Drive is a rare, attainable foothold on stunning Montana lakefront.
