381 Dunwoody Lane

A rare opportunity to own acreage in Columbia Falls with space for livestock, a separate studio apartment, and a beautiful home filled with Montana character. Tucked at the end of Dunwoody Lane, this thoughtfully designed property offers privacy and versatility to truly enjoy the lifestyle that makes northwest Montana so special. The acreage is a standout feature, offering a wonderful mix of open, usable ground and wooded privacy. The fenced area provides space for horses, goats, a cow, or other animals, subject to applicable zoning and restrictions, while the remaining acreage offers room for gardens, outdoor projects, or simply enjoying the extra space around you. The main home was designed to reflect its Montana surroundings. Stained wood finishes, abundant natural light, vaulted ceilings, and an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area create a comfortable gathering space with beautiful rustic touches throughout. A striking staircase overlooks the main living area, adding character while maintaining the open feel of the home. Multiple outdoor spaces invite you to slow down and enjoy the peaceful, wooded setting. A welcoming front porch, spacious back porch, and upstairs porch offer places to relax among the trees, take in the surrounding scenery, and enjoy your own Montana retreat. Whether it’s morning coffee or an evening spent outside with friends, there’s always a place to settle in and enjoy the area. Adding even more value is the spacious two-car garage with a studio apartment above. The apartment has an established rental history and offers excellent flexibility for additional income, extended family, guests, a home office, or a private retreat. With usable acreage, space for animals, additional living quarters, privacy, and a newer home that feels unmistakably Montana, this property offers much more than a place to live. It offers room to relax, create income, care for animals, entertain, and build the Montana lifestyle you’ve been looking for. RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE NOTICE: Property tax bills for 2024 and prior years may not reflect the future tax burdens on non-owner-occupied residential properties such as second homes, vacation homes, and short-term rentals. Recent legislation passed by the Montana Legislature (HB 231 and SB 542) raised the tax burdens on such properties and will take full effect in tax year 2026 and reflected in tax bills sent out in the fall of 2026. Further, the Montana Department of Revenue’s statewide property appraisal for the 2025-2026 biennium is anticipated to raise the value of all residential properties beginning in tax year 2025. Buyers are encouraged to consult with a tax advisor or real estate attorney for further information concerning the impact these changes may have on the tax bills for any Montana residential property they are considering.
