Big Fork is a quaint little community about 30 minutes from Kalispell, MT...nestled in a valley with a population of about 90,000...It is located and over looks one of the largest fresh water Lakes in the United States,Flathead Lake...we call it our "Ocean" in Montana. Just minutes from Glacier National Park, 10 golf courses within 1 hour, many other smaller area lakes are all around this area. Downtown Big Fork is a place you want to come to and take your time wandering down it's main street called "Electric Avenue"...many cute little resort like shopping, yummy food through out this little community, a Community Art Center and Theater, with golf and water activities only minutes away. It's a place people come to and do not want to leave...so we also have several Real Estate professionals as well. My husband and I bought our first Place in the Valley in 2002 on Echo Lake, after vacationing here for over 15 years camping. We now have our second home in the Valley in Kalispell, where we live and work...but are now only 30 minutes away from our Lake Home. Two years ago in July we bought a business here and sold our business in another Montana community to live here. Our thoughts, why not live where you like to vacation!!!
Big Fork and the Flathead Valley are beautiful year around...Our Cherry trees will be blooming shortly...much much to do in the summer here, September and October are absolutely beautiful...who needs Maine or Vermont...and with 2 ski resorts within 1 hour...what else could you ask for. One of my favorite moments in Big Fork was this last Christmas Eve, after going to Mass we decided to stop downtown for a bit of "Christmas Cheer", this little community looks like a "Hallmark Christmas Card", decorated from "Head to Toe" with small evergreen Christmas trees, with little red bows dancing on their limbs...garland hanging throughout on all the local shops brightened by multi-colored Christmas lights and a soft dusting of snow!! The restaurants are open and willing to cheerfully serve us...next year, I will only be doing a dinner on Christmas Day...come join us, we will be nestled in one of the many restaurants downtown, enjoying a "New" Christmas Tradition!!
