An Island In Montana?
Islands seem to be everywhere! And I have to confess since writing Unique Homes feature on buying an island for the May issue I’ve been secretly indulging in some virtual island shopping of my own. I’d always thought of islands as mainly related to coastal or exotic regions but some of the nicest can be found in land locked locales. Still, I was surprised to learn that Sotheby’s is offering a private island in Montana of all places. Not only isn’t Montana the first place that pops into one’s mind at the mention of islands but assimilating the notion of a private island and a lodge style home together takes a moment or two. Then, the vision of such an unlikely pair captivates. Ten acres on Whitefish Lake with incredible views and over 2,600 feet of waterfront combined with a log home with a dramatic two-story great room, river rock fireplace, and two guest suites has great appeal. Check it out here. Thanks to Cheyenne Morrison, former owner of Coldwell Banker Morrison’s Private islands, for bringing it to my attention. Cheyenne’s blog keeps me up to date on island trivia.
