Property Description

Imagine owning a piece of the real Montana—where the spirit of the West meets luxury, privacy, and rugged beauty. Just minutes from the iconic Chief Joseph Ranch—famous as the Dutton family's home in Yellowstone—this stunning equestrian estate invites you to live the dream so many only watch on screen. Set on nearly 20 acres bordering endless Forest Service land, this is more than a home—it's a self-sustaining retreat built for adventure, serenity, and lasting legacy in the heart of Big Sky Country. Ride straight from your property into the wilderness. Fish the legendary West Fork of the Bitterroot River in under five minutes. Ski Lost Trail Powder Mountain in just 30. Or simply enjoy the peace and privacy of your own mountain retreat, complete with panoramic views, lush irrigated pasture, and three serene ponds. The main residence is a custom-designed masterpiece of western living, featuring four bedrooms plus a bonus room, a game room with wet bar and wine fridge, a cozy library nook sauna, music studio, and a double garage. Thoughtful details like wrap-around decks, multiple fireplaces, and a private hot tub maximize your connection to nature and the stunning south valley vistas.

The home includes a private 1-bedroom guest wing with a full kitchen, bath, and separate entrance. A second fully-equipped studio apartment—an 840 sq ft space above the large detached shop—has served successfully as a vacation rental.

Equestrian and ranch amenities include:
• 5-stall barn with tack room and hay storage
• Large riding arena
• Steel pipe fencing
• Irrigated pastures
• Chicken coop and enclosed run
• Fenced garden with fertile soil and optimal sunlight
Built for self-sufficiency and peace of mind, the property includes solar panels, electric utilities, and a full-home generator for uninterrupted living. Whether you're raising horses, cultivating a garden, or watching elk and deer cross the land at dawn, this property offers an unmatched Montana lifestyle.

It's not just a home—it's a private sanctuary built for legacy living in Big Sky Country.
