Yellowstone Montana Legacy Estate on 20 acres
168 Charlie Russell is an exquisite artisan-crafted, hand-hewn log estate built and designed to endure the test of time—an offering reserved for those who value privacy, provenance, quality and legacy. Set within the gated enclave of Big EZ Estates this is a rare opportunity to acquire a true Montana home with the ability to obtain a Golf or Ski/Social membership at Spanish Peaks Mountain Club, but it is NOT required. Ability to build a guest home, remarkable privacy, and immediate proximity to the world-class amenities of Big Sky, this property embodies the very essence of the Yellowstone, Big Sky lifestyle. Timeless, irreplaceable, and uncompromising—this is not simply a residence, but a legacy to be stewarded for generations. Fully furnished and turnkey.
Designed for both grand entertaining and intimate retreat, the home features 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths, and 2 powder rooms, complemented by 6 interior fireplaces, outdoor deck fireplace, landscaped fire pit, and a new hot tub for four-season enjoyment. 2 private primary suites—each with its own fireplace, outdoor access, and individual climate control—offer luxury comfort and exceptional privacy for owners and guests alike. A charming timber-frame bunk room with en-suite bath adds warmth and character for family gatherings. At 7,434± square feet with wraparound decks and landscaped patios the home captures sweeping, cinematic views of Yellowstone National Park and the Spanish Peaks—where sunrises, moonrises, and alpenglow sunsets become part of daily life.
The main level unfolds with soaring timber ceilings and dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with incredible lighting, expansive living and dining spaces, a gourmet kitchen outfitted with premium appliances and generous prep areas—ideal for entertaining. An executive office with private deck access sits just off the great room and primary suite, blending productivity with inspiration. The primary suite itself is a sanctuary, featuring a fireplace, spa-like bath, walk-in closet, adjacent executive office and private deck overlooking the peaks.
The lower level is dedicated to recreation and relaxation, offering a spacious family room, wet bar, pool table, additional fireplace, workout room and seamless access to outdoor living—where the hot tub and fire pit invite evenings under Montana’s vast sky. A wrap-around deck, multiple patios,and tranquil mountain vistas complete the experience.
