Property Description

Set quietly on 3.27 acres in the Hyalite Foothills of Bozeman, this property offers a rare combination of privacy, usable land, and unobstructed mountain views, just minutes from town. Opportunities like this are increasingly limited and difficult to replicate at any level. Originally built in 1978, the home has undergone a complete, seven-figure transformation. This is not a cosmetic update, but a full structural and spatial reconfiguration designed for modern living, natural light, and long-term functionality. Inside, expanded sightlines and large sliding doors bring the surrounding landscape into the home, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection throughout the seasons. The main living area is anchored by a black limestone wood fireplace beneath vaulted ceilings, balancing scale with warmth. The kitchen is built to perform, featuring Wolf, Viking, and Cove appliances, dual Galley workstations, a walk-in pantry, and custom cabinetry designed for both efficiency and clean design. The main level includes two dedicated offices, supporting a true work-from-home lifestyle. A third primary bedroom, currently used as a gym, features large sliding doors and functions easily as a main-level suite. Upstairs, the owner’s suite is positioned for privacy, alongside a junior suite and an additional living area with a built-in kitchenette, ideal for guests, extended family, or flexible use. Bathrooms are finished in marble with Restoration Hardware vanities, reinforcing the level of quality throughout. Beyond the home, the property expands into a fully functional compound. A newly constructed oversized four-car garage is complemented by a multizone workshop, greenhouse, sauna, gazebo, and additional utility structures—offering space for projects, storage, or future adaptation. Outdoor living is integrated, not added on. A glass-framed, four-season extension with ceiling-mounted heaters creates a year-round gathering space. A sauna, hot tub, and pond introduce moments of privacy and restoration across the landscape, while mature plantings provide natural screening without compromising openness. Every major system, structure, and finish has already been addressed, eliminating the time, cost, and uncertainty most buyers face when improving rural properties. Recreating this property today, with land, construction, and improvements, would require significantly more capital, extended timelines, and complex coordination.
