1. Low-Maintenance, Energy-Efficient Living

Montana consists of 145,552 square miles of pristine land, many of which are dedicated to wildlife and agriculture. Energy efficiency is thus extremely important in Big Sky Country!

Bloomstone homes are designed with energy-efficient living in mind with open-concept floor plans, innovative heating and cooling, and generous natural light.

Don’t forget that Montana also offers plenty of energy-efficient tax incentives to homeowners.

Bloomstone residents also enjoy low-maintenance living. We build our homes to the highest standards of quality, requiring minimal intervention. Spend more time in the great outdoors of the Flathead Valley and less time performing home repairs!

2. Proximity to Kalispell’s Historic Downtown

Most Montana cities have historic centers, evidence of the state’s settler past. 

In the late 1800s, Charles Conrad followed the Empire Builder railroad out to Kalispell, Montana, where he became the city’s founding father.

Because of Conrad’s efforts, locals today can wander Kalispell’s historic downtown, replete with antique stores, fine dining, art galleries, and vintage theatres.

Visit the Conrad Mansion for a glimpse into the past, and wander the historic neighborhoods near Main Street to see turn-of-the-century homes from Conrad’s time. Take the kids to Norm’s News, a soda fountain that offers candy, old-fashioned burgers and fries, and tasty milkshakes.

This downtown is a short drive from the Bloomstone master-planned community. If you find yourself in need of amenities, don’t worry! 

Several grocery stores are located just next to Main Street, while larger warehouses like Costco and Home Depot are just a brief drive away.

3. Visit Whitefish Mountain Resort

Avid skiers and snowboarders will appreciate living in Bloomstone’s master planned community. Bloomstone is a twenty-five-minute drive from Whitefish Mountain Resort, a world-renowned ski resort in the alpine town of Whitefish.

In the summertime, locals enjoy huckleberry picking at the resort. But be on the lookout for grizzly bears!

Bikers and hikers can scale the mountain at their leisure, enjoying the resort’s meadows of wildflowers and generous hiking trails.

The town of Whitefish is also quaint, with its own Main Street, local brewery and bars, and historic neighborhood. 

4. Be Part of a True Community

Master planned communities bring everything residents may need to one place. They are designed with true community in mind.

If you are new to Montana, you may be seeking ways to step into Kalispell’s community. While Kalispell is home to just over 23,000 people, it is growing at a rapid rate. Newcomers may struggle to find their community niche.

That’s where Bloomstone comes in.

When you are part of the Bloomstone community, you can enjoy the perks of suburban life in a rural setting. It’s not uncommon for Bloomstone residents to get to know their neighbors and develop lifelong friendships.

This master planned community is also suitable for families, with walking trails that lead to playgrounds, local schools, the community college, and a medical center.

6. Affordability Near the Mountains

Did you know that Montana is one of five U.S. states that does not have sales tax? That’s right!

Bloomstone residents can make purchases in-state without having to pay that extra bit of tax. This is one of many reasons why Montana is one of the most budget-friendly states. 

Plus, Bloomstone homes begin at highly reasonable rates. Our Artisan Series homes, for example, begin at $310,000. These three-bedroom, two-bathroom homes range from 1,400 – 1,700 square feet.

Our Haven Series townhomes are even more budget-friendly, starting at a mere $266,000 (subject to availability).

It can be difficult to beat these prices in Big Sky Country, especially in other Montana cities. The median home price in Bozeman, a southern city in Montana, is a whopping $419,000.
