15325 Bridger Canyon Rd, Bozeman, MT 59715

Historic home nestled into the trees of majestic Bridger Canyon. This beautiful two story log home with a third story turret, is the gem of Bridger Canyon; one that truly tells stories of Bozeman's past. You simply can't recreate a historic home like this. Built in 1934, The Silver Forest, as it is known, sits 20 minutes from Main Street, Bozeman, and is just 5 minutes from Bridger Bowl Ski Area and the Cross Cut Mountain Center. It offers six bedrooms and six bathrooms; three bedrooms have Queen mattresses and three have Cal-King mattresses. The Silver Forest opens into a beautiful entryway and then into a grand living room with vaulted ceilings made of pine log trusses, a central fireplace and large panoramic windows. On the main floor of the home, a Victorian-style turret extends off the living room into an illuminated sunroom. This is the perfect place for watching sunrise with coffee, working remote during the day, or enjoying an apres-ski drink. There is a semi-formal dining room with a table for 10, and a kitchen that has been recently renovated with all essentials for cooking and entertaining. There are three bedrooms on the main floor, each with their own bathroom. A staircase leads to the upper turret, the only bedroom on the third floor. This room has a queen mattress and 280 degree views of the forest, mountains and Bridger Bowl. On the lower level, there are two bedrooms and three bathrooms, one of which offers a two-person whirlpool spa. Additionally, there is an office with stationary bike, a yoga/pilates room and a family room for easy after-ski transition into the home. This family room can be assessed from a door out to one of the carports and has a TV and game area, ideal for kids to hang out. There is shelving for ski boots, helmets, gloves, jackets and goggles.
