About This Home

Escape to Montana’s iconic landscape at the "Life Is Good Lodge", a remarkable property, offering more than 10 acres of pristine land and access to the Dearborn River. Featured on FISHING WITH LADEN, this estate is steeped in storied history with Hollywood and political pedigree. Once a part of the 600-acre ranch legendary movie star Gary Cooper grew up on, the actor brought many Hollywood stars to the 1890s cabin still on the property. Later, it became a vacation destination for the president of the NRA. The main residence is move-in ready with recent improvements including hardwood flooring, custom shades, select updated windows, a new furnace, a brand-new metal roof, and recent exterior paint/stain. The renovated guest cabin oozes with country charm and provides extra sleeping quarters. Step outside onto the Trex deck to take in sweeping Big Sky views, then stroll down to cast a line into a favorite fishing spot guides enjoy on their days off. The workshop includes a garage or indoor boat storage and a kennel with inside and an outside fenced area. The voluntary landowner’s organization maintains the road and includes another private takeout. It can be purchased as a turn-key property, so start creating your own cherished memories or improve your investment portfolio with it's proven rental history. Combining rich history, modern comfort, and ultimate privacy, this unique retreat is a rare Big Sky Country offering.
