30078156 MLS Bay Building BLDG.
439 Grand Drive sits in the heart of Downtown Bigfork — the walkable “Village by the Bay” where the Swan River meets Flathead Lake. This established retail center occupies a high-visibility location on Grand Drive, steps from Electric Avenue’s galleries, boutiques, restaurants, and the Bigfork Summer Playhouse. The setting combines the character of a historic Montana village with strong year-round and seasonal foot traffic from residents, second-home owners, and visitors drawn to Flathead Lake, Glacier National Park (about an hour north), and the surrounding recreation corridor. The property enjoys views out to Bigfork Bay, the sheltered northeast corner of Flathead Lake. That outlook, together with the compact downtown fabric, supports both current retail use and longer-term expansion potential on the site. Twenty-three on-site parking spaces serve existing tenants; additional parking can be created with retaining-wall construction, a practical improvement given the sloping terrain typical of this part of the village. Motion-activated exterior lighting covers the building and lot. Bigfork’s downtown remains independently owned and destination-oriented — no chain stores on the village streets — which has historically supported stable, locally rooted tenancy. The location also benefits from proximity to Wayfarers State Park, the city dock, nature trails, and multiple golf courses, reinforcing both everyday convenience and tourist draw. Glacier Park International Airport is roughly 35 minutes away. In short: a proven downtown retail address with bay views, expansion runway, and parking that can grow with demand — all inside one of northwest Montana’s most walkable and visited village cores.
