About this property

Tucked within a gated enclave of only a few residences, this property offers a rare opportunity to own one of Bozeman's most artfully designed & nature-immersed retreats. Set on 20 pristine acres with unobstructed views of Mount Blackmore, this one-of-a-kind property is a haven of old-growth Douglas fir, natural springs, year-round wetlands, and nearly two miles of on-property private trails. Wildlife is abundant--moose, elk, deer, and fox are regular visitors. HOA easement access to National Forest trails lies just 500 feet from the home, putting boundless outdoor adventure within easy reach. Between 2019 and 2024, the residence underwent a substantial renovation that harmoniously blends elevated design with thoughtful sustainability. Reclaimed wood beams, Monarch "Domaine Braize" wide-plank oak floors, and expansive picture windows create an atmosphere of timeless elegance & warmth, perfectly framing the surrounding forest & the commanding view of Mount Blackmore. A Ci2700 Regency wood-burning stove anchors the living space with radiant comfort, supported by seasoned on-site firewood & excellent insulation. The chef's kitchen is both refined & functional, appointed with a paneled SubZero fridge/freezer, induction cooktop, custom lighting, and seamless flow to the living & dining areas. Indoor-outdoor living is effortless with TimberTech fire-rated decking, a 7-person sunken Prism hot tub, built-in SONOS sound system, and views stretching across the Gallatin Valley. Energy use is remarkably low thanks to a 10,000 kW solar system with Harvest Solar panels, premium insulation, and metal roofing. A heated two-car garage features a Flying Pig dog wash, while an automated pet door and invisible fencing encompass the full 20 acres for four-legged freedom. Additional amenities include a large home gym (easily converted to a fourth bedroom), double-enclosed deck storage, and integrated fire mitigation systems. Every detail has been curated with intention--from Veraluz lighting & a Vermont-made Hubbardton Forge chandelier, to Nama Rococo wallpaper, marble bath finishes, and a reclaimed Virginia reclaimed fireplace mantle--each element adding depth, character, and story. More than a home, this is a private mountain retreat where exceptional design, pristine wilderness, and sustainable living converge--just minutes from downtown Bozeman, yet a world apart.
