Imagine starting every morning with the gentle sound of the Gallatin River flowing just beyond your window. Eagles soar overhead, elk wander nearby, and the surrounding mountains glow with the first light of day. This is a chance of a lifetime to own a piece of the last best place in Montana! Gallatin River Homestead in Big Sky is nestled along the tranquil banks of the Gallatin River. This 12.44± acre property offers unparalleled opportunities unlike any other. With over a quarter mile of pristine riverfront at your doorstep, indulge in world-class trout fishing right from your backyard. Bordered by expansive National Forest lands to the south and perfectly suited for the equestrian lifestyle, this exceptional retreat offers sweeping mountain views, unmatched privacy, and a peaceful sense of seclusion. Despite its secluded setting, convenience is never compromised. Just a few minutes' drive away, Big Sky Town Center offers a host of amenities, including shopping, dining, and entertainment, ensuring the perfect balance of a wilderness escape and modern comfort. Another 10 minutes up the road awaits the “Biggest Skiing in America”, Big Sky Resort. Set upon 12.44± acres are three separate, contiguous deeded parcels. Two of the parcels are already improved with residences, while the additional five-acre undeveloped parcel offers exceptional flexibility to build on, preserve open space for added privacy, or retain it as a valuable long-term investment. Designed for gathering and making memories, this unique property includes two beautifully appointed homes. The stunning 3,698-square-foot custom log residence features three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, while the detached 2,886-square-foot guesthouse offers three bedrooms, a large bunkroom downstairs, and three baths, perfect for hosting family and friends or creating a private retreat. Every season tells a different story here. Winter brings unforgettable days on the slopes of Big Sky Resort; spring awakens the Gallatin River with world-class fly fishing; summer invites endless exploration through Yellowstone and the adjacent National Forest; and autumn paints the mountains in brilliant color. No matter the time of year, this extraordinary property serves as your private gateway to the very best of Montana's outdoor lifestyle.
