Flathead County, MT
$560,000
Cramer Creek Road sits just outside the charming waterfront community of Lakeside. This raw land parcel adjoins miles of Flathead National Forest on two sides and offers a private building site with gated entry on both ends of the property. Near the western gate, you’ll find a stunning view of Flathead Lake. This is a prime spot for a secluded mountain cabin or home just outside of town. Power will be available at the property line (to be installed by the seller, subject to negotiation). The western portion of the land has a gentle slope, while the eastern side becomes steeper as it approaches the private easement along the boundary. For those seeking privacy within 30 minutes of town, this tract is a must-see. MINERAL RIGHTS INCLUDED.
The adjoining Flathead National Forest lands are home to elk, mule deer, whitetail, bears, wolves, mountain lions, and a variety of other Montana wildlife. In the summer, pick wild huckleberries and watch the landscape shift as the larch and aspens turn vibrant colors in the fall. Winter in this area offers just as much recreation as summer—two ski resorts are within a reasonable drive, and the extensive public land road networks provide endless opportunities for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and UTV riding. Ice fishing on the many nearby lakes yields trout, kokanee salmon, and perch throughout the season.
The lower (eastern) portion of the property features a private gate and road easement along its edge. On the western side, access is via a U.S. Forest Service gate under a renewable, transferable long-term lease granted through a special use permit. The maximum elevation on the west end reaches approximately +/-4,760’.
The annual precipitation average in Somers, Montana is approximately 18 inches of rain and 15 inches of snow. The average high temperature in the summer is 82 degrees and the average low in the winter is 20 degrees. Thanks to the moderating lake effect from Flathead Lake, winters here are milder and more manageable than many parts of Montana.
Located in Somers, MT, the property is roughly 21 minutes from Lakeside, where you’ll find a grocery store, hardware store, restaurants, and other local services. Glacier International Airport is 45 minutes away, Blacktail Mountain Ski Area is about 52 minutes, and Whitefish Mountain Resort is roughly 58 minutes. Finally, Flathead Lake – the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi – is just a few short miles away. The +/-198 square miles of turquoise-blue offers world-class fishing for lake trout, whitefish, perch, smallmouth bass, and pike.
