Spanning an extraordinary 491± acres in the heart of Big Sky, this private mountain retreat is one of the region’s most remarkable legacy properties, offering a combination of scale, privacy, and proximity that is virtually impossible to duplicate. Steeped in history, early 1900s logging roads weave throughout the property, providing year-round access for hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, ATV adventures, and snowmobiling. In winter, the landscape transforms into a private Nordic paradise with miles of groomed cross-country ski trails winding through your own forest. Surrounded on three sides by Gallatin National Forest and protected conservation lands, the estate enjoys an exceptional level of permanent privacy while supporting an abundance of wildlife, including elk, moose, deer, bears, mountain lions, and bobcats. Perched atop a commanding ridgeline, the handcrafted Canadian cedar log residence was thoughtfully designed to capture breathtaking views of Lone Peak from nearly every west-facing room. Soaring timber beams, natural stone, and expansive walls of glass create a timeless mountain aesthetic while seamlessly connecting the home to its extraordinary surroundings. A full-length entertainment deck stretches across the western façade, providing the perfect setting to enjoy Montana’s unforgettable sunsets and sweeping vistas of Lone Peak, the Madison Range, the Spanish Peaks, the Gallatin Range, and even Yellowstone National Park. A detached garage with beautifully finished caretaker’s quarters above offers exceptional flexibility for guests, staff, or a private office, complementing the home’s thoughtful design and enduring craftsmanship. Despite its remarkable seclusion, this estate is just 10 minutes from Big Sky Resort, Meadow Village, and Town Center, approximately one hour from Bozeman, and just over an hour from Yellowstone National Park. Properties of this caliber are extraordinarily rare. Combining nearly 500 acres of protected wilderness, iconic mountain views, exceptional recreational access, and one of Big Sky’s most coveted locations, this is more than a home—it’s an irreplaceable Montana legacy waiting for its next steward.

“I’m in love with Montana. For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection. But with Montana it is love. And it’s difficult to analyze love when you’re in it.” - John Steinbeck
