Private Island On Echo Lake
Spill Lake Road, Lot#WP001 Bigfork, MT 59911
Description
PRIVATE ISLAND FOR SALE ON ECHO LAKE. This truly unique offering is an opportunity for anyone who enjoys spending time in the warm, blue-ish green waters of Echo Lake. Located next to the Jewel Basin and the Swan Range, it’s one of the warmest lakes in the Flathead Valley. It’s popular among recreational boaters for this reason – but it is also a fantastic fishery! Anglers travel to Echo Lake to pursue largemouth bass, northern pike, and perch. It’s known for its beauty and tranquility, which is how it has become a popular summer destination. Most of the lake is surrounded by private residences, and there is limited public access beside one boat ramp. Public records indicate that the private island is roughly +/- 0.77 acres, but the amount of land above water varies based on the pool level and time of year. The island is a long, narrow shape located roughly 0.5 miles west of the Echo Lake Fishing Access Site. Possible uses for this island include hunting waterfowl out of a blind(s), a cabana, or a fun hang-out spot to pull the boats up in the summer and party. An Osprey family calls this island home – but it can be shared!
For the outdoor enthusiast, you’d be hard-pressed to find an area with more opportunity. From hiking in the Jewell Basin to alpine lakes full of grayling and cutthroat, rivers/streams full of big rainbows and browns, waterfowl production areas packed with flocks of migratory birds, and healthy populations of big game species – you never have to travel far for an adventure here. There is 365 days’ worth of outdoor recreation and endless space to escape the masses. Located just north of Bigfork (pop. est. 4,683), the local area has much to offer. Flathead Lake is 197 square miles and is the world's 79th largest natural freshwater lake. It features gorgeous views in every direction, endless recreational boating opportunities, and world-class fishing for lake trout, whitefish, northern pike, and perch. Glacier National Park, the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex, Wild Horse Island, and Whitefish Ski Resort are part of a list of northwest Montana destinations that make this area unique. Pick up fine-dining restaurants, art studios, theatres, waterfront bars, or rodeo events between Whitefish, Bigfork, and Kalispell. Buyers should perform their due diligence in regard to property boundaries and permitted uses for the island.
