Cross a bridge over Bear Creek and follow the winding drive to discover an extraordinary 8.6± acre retreat bordering a vast expanse of State & Forest Service lands stretching toward Yellowstone National Park. With live water, evergreen forests, open meadows and majestic Bridger Mountain views, this rare property offers exceptional privacy and direct access to miles of hiking & horseback riding. The main residence is a meticulously restored 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath log home that blends timeless Montana character with elevated modern finishes. Massive, beautifully maintained logs, circle-sawn wood floors, slate tile, and vaulted spaces create warmth and authenticity throughout. At the heart of the home, the expansive great room offers multiple gathering areas framed by picture windows and anchored by a dramatic two-story stone, wood-burning fireplace. The remodeled kitchen pairs refined style with rustic charm, featuring sleek cabinetry, black granite countertops, premium stainless appliances, beverage cooler, wine storage and a butler's pantry.

An office, laundry area, and a newly rebuilt wraparound deck with wrought-iron railing complete the main level. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms-including one ensuite-feature vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and views of the surrounding landscape. Thoughtfully positioned to capture panoramic mountain views and dramatic sunsets, the 2,850+ sf Guest House constructed in 2019 is a 2 bed / 2.5 bath hideaway.
