Donald G. Abbey, CEO and founder of the Abbey Company, a privately held commercial real estate and management firm, apparently doesn’t have the time to get out to Montana from Long Beach, California as much as he’d like so he has put his massive Shelter Island home on Flathead Lake up for sale. This isn’t an expensive Montana log cabin that we’re prone to expect, but instead a mansion that would be a perfect fit in any of "Forbes" most expensive zip code neighborhoods.

Named Whispering Rock, it is situated on its own 24-acre island. Don’t worry about any inconvenience in getting there since the owner will also have eight acres on the mainland and can leave there in their boat and arrive inside the main house or boat house via computerized rail without ever leaving the boat or stepping on a dock. Almost more interesting than the home is the engineering used to assure the island never feels like an island. Though this is currently a three building, 44,000 square foot compound, there is power and other utilities that will support an additional three compounds. The entire island is improved with clay shooting range and jogging trails. Only the best materials were used in the construction of the 44,000 square feet of the compound’s structures which include hewn stone, copper, and other natural materials and appears to have stood for centuries. Exterior details include lichen-covered native Montana Chief Cliff stone, trims of custom copper and Indiana Limestone blue/black Virginia slate roofs. Due to its positioning on the out-jutting point of the island, the main home has some of the world’s most beautiful views. For more information.

The largest private home in Montana, originally priced at $105 million, now a steal at $59.5 million.
