The Lazy E Bar Z Ranch is exactly what people dream about when they dream about Montana. In this classic Swan Valley setting, the snowcapped peaks of the Mission and Swan mountain ranges flank the Swan River as it flows through this 165-acre property with two log homes situated next to a trout pond. One home is an historic home built in 1917 when the Swan Valley was the edge of the earth. A newer custom log home built in 2000 serves as the owner’s home while the other is a great guesthouse for family and friends. Other improvements include a large two-car garage, an airplane hangar, two barns and good perimeter fencing and cross fencing. A 2,300 foot well-maintained grass landing strip makes access plain and simple for the private pilot but the ranch can also be accessed directly off the pavement for those who like to keep their feet on the ground. The quaint little towns of Bigfork and Seeley Lake are 30 minutes away while the larger cities of Missoula and Kalispell are each about an hour-and-twenty-minute drive. Fly fishing, horseback riding, wildlife viewing or just sitting on the porch watching the light drape across the ridges are all options here at the doorstep of one of the largest and most visually stunning wilderness complexes in the lower 48.
