Whitefish sits at the top of the Flathead, eight minutes from a downtown that still reads like a railroad town and eighteen from the Whitefish Mountain Resort base. Most of what gets built up here is chalet or lodge. This is neither.
The house is a 2024 A-frame on 4.56 wooded acres, and its front elevation is a steel-framed diamond lattice glazed from deck level to the ridge — closer to a greenhouse gable than a cabin window. Behind it are 3,093 square feet: a great room with a turquoise cone stove and a floating stair, a blue-cabinet kitchen under exposed beams, and a loft bed set directly beneath the triangular window at the peak. Ski boot warmers by the door. A hot tub and a fire pit under the wrap-around deck.
The price history is the interesting part. It asked $1,699,000 in June, was relisted July 16 at $1,649,000, and dropped $50,000 on August 17 to $1,599,000 — $100,000 off in ten weeks. That is $517 a square foot against a $1,557,500 Zestimate, at 33 days on Zillow with 3,221 views and 223 saves. HOA is $50 a month.
On August 5 the same property was listed for rent at $6,000 a month. For anyone underwriting this as a short-term or seasonal rental, that is a tested number rather than a projection — and eighteen minutes to the Whitefish Mountain Resort base is the drive time that makes it work.
Five bedrooms, two bathrooms. At this square footage that is the compromise, and it is the one line in the listing a buyer should price in.
