where the best of Old World architecture meets the rugged natural beauty of Montana. A unique merging of elements … stone, brick, beams, arches, peaks and spirals….come together to bring you World Class bayside living in Bigfork, a charming artist village tucked into the northeast corner of Flathead Lake, the largest natural fresh-water lake West of the Mississippi.
Flathead Lake has garnered a string of devotees for good reason. It’s one of the West’s last bastions of natural splendor, outdoor adventure and original artistry. Born from the vision of people who love this place so much they chose to make it their second home, Bear Dance is the realization of everything that has drawn families to this storied cove since the 1930s – refined and raised to a new level.
On the sheltering shore of Bigfork Bay, Bear Dance offers nine owners the opportunity to be part of a close-knit community tailored to lovers of transcendent architecture, Bigfork’s small town spirit, the abundant pursuit of Flathead Lake and the allure of living in a Montana work of art.
Enter the handcrafted gates of Bear Dance and be transported back to an era….when architecture was an art form. Nine distinctive residences comprise a private enclave catering to discerning buyers in search of a truly unique, intimate and limited-edition living experience.
Like poetic masterworks, no two residences are alike. Each offers its own unique character, expressed in natural materials, rich earth tones and weathered finishes and named for one of Montana’s rivers. Four residences hug the banks of Bigfork Bay, five rise in the backdrop of the courtyard.
Inside, abundant windows bring in a flood of sunlight and fresh Rocky Mountain air. Handcrafted furnishings and custom built-in marry function and artistry.
Floor plans spanning 2,500 to 3,800 square feet lend themselves to your own style of entertaining. Sustainable principles include locally sourced “green” materials and energy-efficient systems designed to complement the Old World richness of design.
Ownership includes your own private boat slip with power and water to each dock, along with complete use of its fitness center.
