West of Kalispell proper are rolling hills dotted with agriculture land and horse properties. The soft contours of the West Valley region are lush and green with the thick forest of the Salish Mountains as the border to the valley's edge. This forest is protected Flathead National Forest land and provides a recreational haven to Flathead Valley residents. To the north is Tally lake, protected from development by the surrounding national forest. West Valley is highlighted by slightly elevated, sweeping views of the entire Flathead Valley, Swan Range, Big Mountain and even a peek into Glacier National Park.
Southwest of West Valley and Kalispell proper is a protected valley where the Salish Mountains break for a moment. In this pocket are several lakes and creeks. The larger lakes are Ashley Lake, Little Bitterroot Lake and McGregor Lake. These lakes are lightly developed with mostly older lake cabins and some newer, more developed lake homes as well. Smaller lakes such as Lake Rogers and Lake Monroe also provide sweet waterfront property opportunities. The Several meandering creeks make their way from these bodies of water to the Flathead Valley. Gorgeous Montana creeks provide a special ambiance to homes for sale along their banks.
