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.

Live free, live well—your lakeside sanctuary awaits.
