Experience the Pinnacle of Montana Living
Welcome to your private Montana sanctuary — a remarkable 20.12-acre parcel perfectly positioned on a scenic bench just off West Fork Road. This exceptional property captures the spirit of the American West and offers the rare opportunity to live in the very landscape that inspired Yellowstone — truly, the Dutton Ranch neighborhood.
Bordering thousands of acres of pristine Forest Service land, this property grants direct access to the largest wilderness area in the continental United States — a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, equestrians, and those seeking privacy amid breathtaking natural beauty. The handcrafted log home combines grand, open living with an inviting sense of warmth and intimacy. Expansive windows frame sweeping mountain and valley views, while a spacious deck overlooks the serene pond and horse pasture — the perfect vantage point for watching elk, deer, and other Montana wildlife wander through your land. The thought- fully designed interior features a main level ideal for entertaining, a private primary suite on its own floor (with plenty of extra space for office or den), and a fully finished walkout lower level with two additional bedrooms, bath, and living area — perfect for guests or extended family.
For the aviation or auto enthusiast, the 60’x44’ airplane hangar offers ample space for two planes or luxury vehicles, complete with two finished, heated, and air-conditioned rooms. The adjacent 32’x45’ heated garage with loft provides the opportunity to create a guest apartment, studio, or office. The property even includes a once-used airstrip — easily reestablished for private use.
Love horses? This parcel is fenced and cross-fenced and has flood irrigation.
Every detail of this estate reflects the essence of refined Montana living: expansive, elegant, and authentically Western. This is more than a home — it’s a lifestyle, a statement, and a rare legacy property.
