Ponderosa Pines – not your ordinary subdivision
With a rugged landscape and plenty of land for privacy, Ponderosa Pines is what most people think of when they hear Montana. “There are people who use it as a place for a hunting cabin or a place to recreate,” says Brittany Fuqua, a Realtor with the Bozeman Real Estate Group. “It’s somewhere you can have independence from HOA’s.” This census-designated place is unique because it is subdivided into large lots and has no homeowner’s association. It was originally developed as a 13,000-acre ranch in the 1970s before being parceled into 10- and 20-acre plots.

Just 15 miles south is the Missouri Headwaters State Park, a popular spot for camping, hiking and kayaking. Plus, it is home to the start of the Missouri River.

A remote yet connected community
Ponderosa Pines offers plenty of space between homes, but there is still a sense of community in this rugged slice of Montana. “I think people look out for one another out there,” says Fuqua. Most properties tend to be 2,000 to 3,000 square feet, and prices range from $500,000 to $1 million. The more land a property comes with, the higher the price. Million-dollar lots can have 50 acres of land, while $ 500,000-dollar homes tend to come with 10 to 20 acres. Home styles cater to the environment, and most are farmhouse-style or large chalets with vaulted ceilings to maximize space.
