Best Outdoor Features That Sell Homes

June 24, 2025 5 minutes read

In Bozeman, outdoor living isn’t just a bonus—it’s a way of life. With long summer evenings, mountain views in every direction, and endless access to nature, buyers are looking for homes that let them enjoy it all. If you’re thinking about selling your home (or even upgrading), here are some of the most desirable outdoor features that consistently attract attention—and often lead to faster sales.

 1. Mountain Views


It’s no surprise: a view of the Bridgers, Gallatin Range, or the Crazy Mountains can be a game-changer. Whether it's a full panoramic vista or a peek through the trees, homes with scenic views tend to hold their value and sell quickly. If your home has a view, make sure your marketing highlights it—photos at golden hour go a long way.

 2. Fire Pits & Outdoor Entertaining Spaces
 

Buyers want to imagine summer nights gathered around a fire with friends. Built-in fire pits, cozy seating areas, and well-lit patios help create that vision. Whether it’s a sleek gas fire bowl or a rustic stone setup, outdoor gathering spaces add warmth—literally and figuratively—to a listing.

3. Hot Tubs & Spas

In a town known for its outdoor adventures, having a place to soak after a long day of skiing, hiking, or mountain biking is a big win. Hot tubs, especially those positioned with privacy and views, can be a major selling point—just be sure they're well-maintained and safely installed.

 4. Spacious Decks & Covered Patios


 A deck becomes an extension of living space in the summer. Bonus points for built-in seating, pergolas, string lights, or even an outdoor kitchen setup. Covered patios also offer shade on sunny days and shelter on rainy evenings, making them functional nearly year-round.

 5. Proximity to Trails & Parks

Many Bozeman buyers want to walk out their front door and hit a trail. Whether your home backs up to a public trail, is near a park, or an easy route to the mountains, this kind of access is a huge perk. Be sure to mention it in your listing and include trail maps or links to local hiking routes.
