A rare opportunity in Bozeman’s desirable Timberline Creek area, this beautiful 40-acre property offers rolling terrain, good pasture, mountain views, and a significant head start toward creating a one-of-a-kind Montana haven. Already completed is a brand-new 2-bedroom, 2-bath guest house with high-end finishes. Designed as a comfortable and beautifully finished residence in its own right, the guest house enjoys views toward Frog Rock and provides an ideal place to live while completing the larger vision for the property. Note that shell was built in 2014, remainder of construction in 2026. Foundation and basement walls are already in place for a spacious main home, positioned to take advantage of views toward the Bridger Mountains. Much of the initial groundwork has been done, giving the next owner the opportunity to complete the home to their own specifications without starting entirely from scratch. The 40 acres feature gently rolling terrain, productive pasture, and partial fencing, making the property well suited for horses or other livestock. Approximately six acres lie across the road, where Timberline Creek winds through the property, adding water, wildlife habitat, and another distinctive dimension to the land. A paved driveway—an uncommon feature in this area—provides convenient year-round access, and the property is just a short drive from I-90 for easy connections to Bozeman and Livingston. With acreage, creek frontage, quality pasture, an exceptional newly built guest house, and the beginnings of a substantial main residence already in place, this is a property that would be difficult to replicate.

A newly created 2.898-acre parcel on South Cottonwood Road, level and open, with long views across to the Gallatin Range. The ground is flat enough to give you real freedom in siting a home, so you can place it for the views and the morning light rather than working around the terrain. Life out here strikes a nice balance. Downtown Bozeman is a short drive, with groceries and everyday errands closer still. In the other direction, South Cottonwood Trailhead is just down the road, opening into miles of hiking, biking, and horseback riding in the Gallatin Range. Hyalite Reservoir is an easy trip, and both Bridger Bowl and the town of Big Sky are within about an hour. Bodhi Farms, the working farm and eco resort known for its restaurant and summer events, is a neighbor. Surrounding parcels are low density and largely agricultural, so the setting stays open and private while town remains close. No zoning and no covenants, which is increasingly rare this close to Bozeman and gives you real freedom in what you build. A good spot to build when you are ready.

For the buyer searching for Montana the way Montana used to feel - wide open, quiet, and seemingly untouched. Perched above the Gallatin River on more than 19 acres at the end of the road, this Gallatin River Ranch property captures a landscape that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. The river winds through the valley below, the Tobacco Root Mountains rise across the western horizon, and wildlife moves through the surrounding ranchland. Here, sunsets stretch for miles, storms can be watched rolling across the valley, and the changing seasons transform the river bottom below. The meticulously maintained 4,700+ square foot Craftsman-style home was designed to bring that landscape in. Soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers and walls of windows frame the views throughout an open main level anchored by a generous kitchen and great room. Two gas fireplaces, multiple living spaces and thoughtful finishes create a home that feels equally suited to quiet mornings and a house full of guests. The main level primary suite offers direct access to the hot tub and those expansive western views, while the upper level suite provides flexibility as a fourth bedroom, private guest quarters or executive office. Downstairs, the walkout lower level opens through oversized sliders to the patio and landscaped grounds and includes two additional bedrooms- both en suite and one with a steam shower, plus a spacious family room with fireplace and wet bar. Outside, multiple gathering spaces make the most of the setting, from the tranquil waterfall and pergola to open acreage and skies that seem to go on forever. A 1,400 square foot heated and air-conditioned shop, completed in 2024, adds exceptional versatility with an epoxy floor, deep garage bays with RV storage and additional flex space ideal for an office, gym, studio or hobby room. Ownership in Gallatin River Ranch extends well beyond the property lines, with miles of roads and trails to explore and private Gallatin River access. Not currently set up for horses, the acreage offers room for fenced pasture, with boarding and riding also available at Gallatin River Ranch’s equestrian facility for an additional cost. It is a place that feels removed from what Montana is becoming, yet remains within easy reach of Manhattan, Bozeman and the airport. Lookabout Lane offers something increasingly rare: room to roam, water below, mountains beyond, and the kind of quiet that once defined Montana living.

Build the Montana retreat you've been envisioning on one of the last remaining homesites in The Preserve at Aspen Springs — one of Bozeman's most coveted low-density communities on the south side. This one-acre lot offers a blank canvas framed by sweeping mountain views, natural open space, and the kind of quiet that's increasingly hard to find this close to town. The Preserve is defined by what surrounds it: more than 110 acres of protected open space woven with scenic trails and native wildflower meadows. Elk calve here each spring. Deer and other wildlife move through freely. It's a neighborhood where the landscape is as much a part of daily life as the home itself. With only 9 homesites, the community maintains a rare sense of privacy and cohesion. Architectural quality here is evident — neighboring homes reflect thoughtful, custom construction that sets a high standard for the surrounding streetscape. Minutes from downtown Bozeman's restaurants, shops, and schools — but a world away in feel.
