Few properties deliver on the promise of Montana living as completely as this one.
Set on 21.22 private acres just minutes from Bozeman and the Big Sky corridor, this custom Western-style home is the rare offering where the land is as compelling as the structure itself. Big Bear Creek runs the entire length of the north boundary — a natural wildlife corridor that draws elk, deer, bear, osprey, sandhill cranes, and bald eagles with remarkable regularity. The legendary Gateway Elk Herd frequents the lush pastures. A stocked trout pond sits steps from the back door.
Inside, the craftsmanship is immediately apparent — hand-honed woodwork, natural stone, tile, and hardwood floors throughout. The great room anchors the home with a gas fireplace and opens to a well-appointed kitchen and dining area where sunlight and views pour in from every direction. Four bedrooms, three baths, and a flexible downstairs bonus room round out the interior. A generous front porch and expansive back deck extend the living space outdoors. Evening sunsets, the sounds of Big Bear Creek and wildlife viewing offer moments of awe and endless entertainment.
Designed for both recreation and functionality, the property features three wells serving the home, irrigation, and livestock. The heated shop and oversized garage offer abundant space for vehicles, recreational equipment, boats, tractors, and outdoor gear. An upper-level loft provides flexible space for a studio, gear room, or additional storage.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being just minutes from National Forest access, offering year-round opportunities for hiking, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, off-roading, and exploring Big Bear Lake. With no HOA restrictions, the possibilities are endless for creating your own Montana retreat, equestrian property, hobby farm, or legacy property.
Combining a peaceful setting with convenient access, the property is a short drive to Bozeman’s dining, shopping, entertainment, healthcare, and international airport. Additionally, world-class skiing at Big Sky Resort and renowned blue-ribbon trout waters are within easy reach.
2081 Little Bear Road is more than a home—it’s a rare opportunity to own a private Montana sanctuary where wildlife, recreation, and modern comfort come together in one extraordinary property.
