Set on a breathtaking promontory overlooking the East Gallatin River and the five mountain ranges that encircle the greater Gallatin Valley, this property blends end-of-the-road privacy with top-of-the-world views for a not-to-be-missed opportunity to own a truly exceptional piece of riverfront real estate in Southwest Montana. Originally acquired by one of the developers of Gallatin River Ranch for his personal home, this property is arguably the crown jewel of the Horseshoe Hills. With its magnificent 7,890± sf custom home, fully-remodeled 1,780± sf guest house, spacious shop and barn spaces, stables, corrals, stocked pond, and direct access to the river, this 20± acre property offers all of the trappings of a ranch lifestyle without the associated maintenance. The Gallatin River Ranch community affords its residents world-class amenities for anglers as well as distinctive opportunities for equestrian and outdoor enthusiasts, with a fully staffed horseback riding and boarding facility (privately run business) located within the Ranch, 2,000± acres of open space and trails, and 2.5 shared river miles of the West Gallatin River with private fishing access. Wildlife are frequent visitors to this property, so you can usually expect to enjoy your morning coffee on the balcony in the company of mule deer, pheasants, Hungarian partridge, waterfowl, bald eagles and even black bears down below. And when it comes time to soak in the hot tub at the end of the day, you will be able to witness some of the most breathtaking light shows that Mother Nature can possibly create. Steeped in privacy and scenic solitude, yet only 30 minutes from downtown Bozeman and its award-winning restaurants, shopping, amenities and attractions, this property embodies all the qualities of a true legacy property and is a must-see for the discerning buyer.
