About this property

THIS IS IT! Welcome Home to BOZEMAN'S ULTIMATE GALLATIN RIVER RETREAT boasting 330+ feet of Gallatin River frontage, nestled on ~1.6+ acres surrounded by nature, wildlife, fly fishing & unlimited outdoor recreation. Ideally seated halfway between Bozeman and Big Sky, only 15 minutes from Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, this property tells a story originating in the early 70's as a small & humble riverfront cabin with a primitive old barn. With the vision of the current contractor/owner who's had a passion for the location, the property has been transformed into a modern retreat while still holding homage to its unassuming origin. An expansive addition allows the property to now boast a 4 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath main home, including a 49'x50' garage/barn space (with polymer floor) that provides an additional 20'x50' bonus & rec space with elevated river front decking & offering the private 4th bedroom, artist studio, private office or fly-tying retreat. Adding to all of this is a 1 bed, 1 bath guest home constructed within the charm of the "old barn" that was painstakingly dismantled board by board on the exterior only to be restored & renovated to an guest apartment with it's own private deck that directly overlooks the river as well. The main residence is equipped with an indoor/outdoor Sonos system, Starlink to keep you connected & an absolutely tricked out bonus area including poker table, movie area, cozy wood fireplace & live edge bar w/ beverage center, ice maker & state of the art dishwasher. This property speaks to the soul & is a place that allows you to soak in quiet moments on the sprawling front porch watching the western sun set, & sip coffee or a cocktail on the back upper or lower deck while listening to the river & its water trickle and travel by. Better yet, this property brings you evenings around the fire pit roasting marshmallows & simply enjoying a different pace. Located in one of the valley's most sought-after areas with historic Gallatin Gateway, & its restaurants that hail a cult like following only moments away, adding to the charm & convenience. With no zoning restrictions, incredibly light covenants, & no homeowner's association you have the freedom to embrace the Montana lifestyle on your terms. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a slice of paradise that truly captures the essence of Montana living. This home offers a serene oasis located in one of Bozeman and Big Sky Country's most desired locations.
