About This Home

As of October 2025

Welcome to your private Montana retreat — a meticulously maintained 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath, 4,500 sq ft luxury log cabin set on 20 pristine acres, just 15 minutes from downtown Bozeman.

Experience true Montana living: expansive Bridger Mountain views, wide-open skies, abundant wildlife, and total privacy — all with no HOA.

This custom-crafted home blends rustic character with modern comforts. Solid log walls, slate flooring, radiant floor heating, and custom cabinetry bring warmth and elegance, while a GE Cafe appliance allowance adds style and performance to the chef’s kitchen. Upscale LED lighting throughout highlights the craftsmanship. Unwind outdoors in the natural landscape, surrounded by aspen groves and frequent visits from deer, elk, and the occasional moose.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love direct access to Goose Creek and forest trails just a mile away — perfect for hiking, biking, and exploring. And when winter hits, you're just 30 minutes from Bridger Bowl for skiing and snowboarding under Montana's big sky.

Above the bonus heated garage is a versatile studio space — ideal as a library, art room, game area, theater, or personal bar — ready to suit your lifestyle. A barn and storage shed add practical functionality, while a durable metal roof and xeriscaped, low-maintenance landscaping complete the property’s thoughtful design.

When it’s time for a night out, Bozeman’s restaurants, breweries, shops, and culture are just minutes away. Weekend escapes to Chico Hot Springs and Sage Lodge are also well within reach.

Location Highlights:
- 15 minutes to downtown Bozeman
- 25 minutes to Livingston
- 25 minutes to Yellowstone International Airport
- 30 minutes to Bridger Bowl
- 45 minutes to Chico Hot Springs & Paradise Valley
- 1 mile to trailheads and forest access

Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, private escape, or legacy property to pass down for generations, this home offers the ideal blend of luxury, independence, and Montana beauty — ready for you to make it your own.
