About this property

Built in 1930 and credited as the first house in the Gallatin Valley with private electricity, this property has always stood out! In 2001, the cabin was relocated from South Cottonwood to its current 1.247 acre parcel and has only improved over time. The log half of the main level is where its character shows--rough-hewn walls, visible chinking, knotty rafters, and open-faced cabinets, reveal time-tested comfort that is worn in rather than worn out. The rest of the main level carries a mountain modern feel that compliments its historic charm: dark plank floors, crisp, clean walls, sun-bathed spaces, and a spacious bath with tiled accents. The walkout basement adds three more bedrooms and two baths, carrying the same quiet polish throughout. Outside, a wraparound deck holds court overlooking the whole property with entrance to the primary bed. Above the garage, a 900-square-foot ADU -- vaulted, fully furnished, and proven as a VRBO -- adds a turnkey investment to this property's value. Less than a mile from the Gallatin River's world-class fishing, miles of hiking trails and Bozeman a short drive off, this is a property that has weathered a century with its charm fully intact -- and it isn't finished turning heads yet.
