Sen. Tim Sheehy, the Republican political newcomer who triumphed in a pivotal Montana Senate race last year, is listing his sprawling estate on Flathead Lake for $10.25 million.

Sheehy and his wife, Carmen Sheehy, bought the property in 2022, though it is unclear what they paid, as Montana is a nondisclosure state.

The property, known as Bird Point, is about 30 miles from Big Fork, Mont. It encompasses a roughly 7-acre peninsula at the south end of the lake. There are numerous structures, including a roughly 5,000-square-foot, five-bedroom main house, plus a cabin and a guesthouse.

The Sheehys planned to use the property as a family getaway and to host events for nonprofits, according to listing agent Bryce Connery of Connery & Co. The senator is a former Navy SEAL officer, and the Sheehys envisioned using Bird Point for retreats for wounded veterans and children with special needs. Since his election in November, however, the senator and his family will have less time to spend or dedicate to Bird Point, Connery said.

In a written statement, the senator said he and his wife were drawn to Bird Point for its "mountain views, peace and quiet -- all on America's greatest lake."

After buying the property, the Sheehys renovated the guest cabin, upgraded finishes in the main home and added multiple docks, Connery said. They converted an old tennis court into multiple pickleball courts and installed RV hookups on the property.

The Sheehys' primary home is just outside Bozeman. The senator is co-founder of the Little Belt Cattle Company, a ranch and beef company with tens of thousands of acres in Montana's Little Belt Mountains. He also founded Bridger Aerospace, an aerial firefighting company that went public in 2023. Another company he founded, Ascent Vision Technologies, was acquired for $350 million in 2020. Last year, running as a Trump-endorsed conservative, he ousted incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Tester, flipping the Montana seat from blue to red after 18 years.

Flathead Lake spans about 200 square miles. Its perimeter is dotted with log cabins as well as larger homes that sell for millions. In 2018, billionaire home collector Ron Burkle paid $10.5 million for Shelter Island, a 22-acre private island on the lake.

Connery said the area saw a huge uptick in big-ticket sales during the pandemic, and activity hasn't really let up. "We're still seeing multiple offers on important properties," said Connery, who shares the listing with Sean Averill of PureWest Christie's International Real Estate.
