Exceptional outdoor living, a dedicated theater room, and a creekside walking path just beyond the backyard—welcome to 279 Kara Drive in Kalispell’s Aspen Creek subdivision. This custom 5-bedroom, 3-bath home offers approximately 3,282 finished square feet with a flexible layout designed for everyday comfort, entertaining, and enjoying the Montana setting.
The open main living area features vaulted ceilings, granite surfaces, California slate, a stone-accented kitchen island, and gas fireplace. The main level includes a primary suite and office, while the finished walkout basement offers additional living, recreation, guest, and entertaining space.
A dedicated theater room is ready for movie nights with an Epson projector and surround-sound speakers. An indoor infrared sauna is included, and new carpet was installed on the stairs and in the theater room in 2026.
Outdoor living takes center stage with a spacious covered Trex deck designed for gathering, dining, game days, and relaxing evenings. Built in 2024, it offers lounge and dining space, an outdoor television, and Blackstone grill/smoker. The property backs to greenbelt/open space and Ashley Creek, with a creekside walking path and no direct rear neighbors.
Professional landscaping, a rock wall, irrigation system, and app-controlled Rain Bird controller enhance the grounds. App-controlled Gemstone exterior lighting and color-changing landscape lighting create a beautiful nighttime setting. Smart-home features include remote-controlled Made in the Shade window coverings, ecobee thermostat, eero mesh Wi-Fi with deck coverage, myQ garage access, and Ring doorbell/camera equipment.
Recent improvements include exterior paint in 2024, a 2025 water heater, and updated kitchen appliances. All furniture is negotiable.
An attached two-car garage completes this home—combining creekside privacy, connected-home convenience, flexible living space, and a setting made for enjoying every season. WELCOME HOME!
