A Private Gallatin River Retreat Between Bozeman And Big Sky

Wake to the sound of the Gallatin River, step outside with a fly rod and end the day beneath Sheep Rock as the canyon settles into evening. Set along approximately 255 feet of private river frontage, 40 Cliff Manor offers a distinctly Montana lifestyle with direct walk-in river access, dramatic cliff views and year-round recreation beginning just beyond the door.

Ideally positioned between Bozeman and Big Sky, the property places the amenities of both communities within easy reach, with Big Sky Town Center and Bozeman approximately 25 minutes away. Yellowstone National Park’s West Entrance is approximately 1 hour south. Storm Castle Peak and Lava Lake trailheads are both within an eight-minute drive, creating immediate access to hiking, fishing, rafting, skiing and the surrounding national forest.

At home, the experience continues along the river. Soak in the riverside hot tub, relax in the infrared sauna, gather around the fire pit or outdoor gas fireplace, and enjoy covered patios designed for dining and taking in the scenery. Expansive windows and doors connect the interior gathering spaces to the water, trees and towering canyon walls beyond.

The residence is offered fully furnished and ready for immediate enjoyment. Three private king suites each with river views and separate entrances, and a dedicated bunk suite provide comfortable accommodations for guests and can sleep up to 14 guests, while the recreation room, gourmet kitchen, fitness area, dedicated office and high-speed Starlink internet support everything from extended stays to remote work and entertaining. A separate one-bedroom ADU with its own kitchen, living area, bathroom, exterior entrance and private patio adds valuable flexibility for management, guests, or staff.

Currently operating as a legal short-term rental, the property offers the freedom to enjoy it as a private Montana retreat, continue its established hospitality use or blend personal stays with income-producing potential. This is an opportunity to own a turnkey Gallatin River property where fly-fishing, mountain recreation and the amenities of both Bozeman and Big Sky come together in one exceptional location. Few Gallatin Canyon properties combine this level of private river frontage, turnkey luxury, extensive outdoor living and proximity to both Bozeman and Big Sky in one offering.
