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.

Offered for the first time in more than 50 years, it's one of the largest unencumbered holdings, free of covenants, deed restrictions, zoning, and conservation easements, to reach the tightly held Bozeman market. The ranch combines irrigated hay ground, open pasture, and timbered creek bottoms, with strong water rights and views of the Spanish Peaks, Gallatin Range, and Bridger Range. It's also great wildlife country with elk, mule deer, whitetail, and upland birds, including a winter and spring herd of several hundred elk that graze the ranch.

A well-built home and outbuildings anchor the property, sheltered on three sides by Yonder Ridge, Harry's Hill, and a raised bench above the Cottonwood Creek bottoms. The ranch sits twenty minutes from Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport and thirty minutes from Big Sky, and suits a working agricultural operation, a private retreat, or an equestrian estate. For the right buyer, it's a chance to put down the same kind of roots. 282± acres in Bozeman, Montana, with dramatic views of the Spanish Peaks, Gallatin Range, and Bridger Range. 140 cropped acres, 140 irrigated and historically farmed in alfalfa, grain, and grass, plus 142± acres of pasture supporting 42 cow/calf pairs or 252 AUMs across a 6-month grazing season. Five recorded water rights including a ¾ share in the West Gallatin Canal Company, with priority dates ranging from 1867 to 1909. Wortman Creek, Trail Creek, and Yonder Creek wind through the property; the West Gallatin Canal forms the northwest boundary, with ditches delivering water throughout. Improvements include a 3,467± square-foot, 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home extensively renovated and expanded in 2012, a 595 square-foot detached two-car garage, and a 1,237± square-foot heated shop and shed.

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.

The Retreat at Montana Ranch offers a rare opportunity to own one of the largest and most private landholdings within the gated Montana Ranch community. Encompassing 174± acres and backing thousands of acres of State land and Ted Turner’s Flying D Ranch, the property occupies the coveted northwest corner of the ranch. Permanently protected lands border the property, creating an unparalleled sense of privacy while preserving breathtaking 360-degree views of the Bridger Mountains, Spanish Peaks, Hyalites, Tobacco Roots, Ruby Mountains, and beyond. Thoughtfully positioned for both immediate enjoyment and long-term flexibility, the property features two private, independently buildable homesites separated by a natural ridgeline, providing exceptional privacy between residences. One homesite already has a well in place. Importantly, the 174± acre parcel carries the rare right to be subdivided one time, allowing it to be divided into two separate parcels. This creates the opportunity to establish two distinct estates, retain one parcel and sell the other, or create a remarkable multigenerational family compound unlike anything else in the region. Rolling foothills, spring-fed wetlands, abundant wildlife, and one of the Gallatin Valley’s oldest recorded water rights—dating to 1876—create an extraordinary setting for horses, recreation, and year-round enjoyment. Residents of Montana Ranch also enjoy access to more than 10 miles of private trails, a community equestrian center, and paved roads throughout the approximately 2,500-acre gated community. Despite its remarkable privacy, The Retreat at Montana Ranch is only 25 minutes from downtown Bozeman and Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, approximately 45 minutes from Big Sky Resort, and within easy reach of Yellowstone National Park. Combining exceptional acreage, protected surroundings, panoramic mountain views, valuable subdivision rights, and extraordinary future potential, The Retreat at Montana Ranch represents one of Southwest Montana’s most compelling land offerings.
