Welcome to Triple Tree Ranch, the most sought after neighborhood in Bozeman. Commanding the landscape from an acre, surrounded by deeded open space on a cul-de-sac, this extraordinary 7288sf, 4B|6B + library and gym property, offers uninterrupted 360-degree panoramas of the valley below, hills in conservation, the Spanish Peaks, Bridger Mountains, Horseshoe Hills, Tobacco Root, and Gallatin Mountain Ranges. Every aspect of this high-quality, Locati designed, end-of-the-road sanctuary exudes rustic elegance, blending gorgeous textures with modern functionality and beautiful finishes. Anchoring the main living area is a floor-to-ceiling stone, wood burning fireplace but the real show stopper is the incredible wrap around walls of glass revealing unforgettable views. Views of nature. Views of mature trees and mountains, animals and your very own private creek meandering down a path of stone boulders spilling into a pond bringing in abundant wildlife. The setting is so private that it couldn't be more stunning or enjoyable. During the winter months you'll love the crackle of a real fire and in-floor radiant heat beneath your feet. In the summer, you'll enjoy the constant flow of cooled air throughout the home and spanning 3 levels with fireplaces on each floor with getaways for entertaining, working out, for study, or just for fun, you’ll never need to leave your sanctuary on the hill. You or your loved ones can’t do stairs? No problem. This home is equipped with an elevator taking you to all 3 levels. If you love to entertain, the seamless transition from kitchen/dining to deck and patio is phenomenal!  You’ll enjoy sitting out on the patio next to the fire pit listening to the creek or melting the day away in your hot tub as you marvel at the incredible views.  If you love growing your own herbs for cooking, the greenhouse/sunroom is like none other! This home is for living the BOZEMAN DREAM.

For the outdoor enthusiast, it doesn’t get much better than living here in Triple Tree Ranch. The trails go forever, and the house is equipped with an enviable gear room to store all your outdoor needs for hiking, climbing, camping, skiing, riding, and hunting, including gun/ammo storage.

While it's obvious you’re set in the country against the mountains, it’s impossible to know you’re only about 7 minutes to Charming Downtown Bozeman. Truly the best of both worlds in this south-side, sought after location.

Set on over an acre in Hyalite Ranch, this newly completed custom home by Old Mill Homes was designed for buyers who want clean architecture, meaningful function, and the kind of quality that holds up long after the first showing. With 4,564 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and a 3-car garage, the floor plan delivers what so many luxury homes miss: a large and livable main level, intentional separation between private and shared spaces, and the infrastructure to support real life at a high level.

The main living area opens beneath vaulted ceilings and a dramatic wall of glass, connecting the great room, dining area, and kitchen in a way that feels open without losing warmth. A gas fireplace grounds the room, while mountain views and southern exposure do the rest. Just beyond, a massive covered patio with its own fireplace creates a true extension of the living space, making it easy to enjoy outdoor dining, entertaining, and Montana evenings well beyond summer.

The kitchen is equal parts showpiece and workspace, finished with Thermador appliances, custom cabinetry, generous island space, and subtle details that elevate the experience, including LED under-cabinet lighting and luxury fixtures sourced from Arhaus, Lumens, and Restoration Hardware.

The main-level primary suite is where the house really separates itself. Spacious, private, and beautifully finished, it includes an oversized bath with heated floors, strong scale, and a custom closet that feels intentional rather than an afterthought. Upstairs, additional bedrooms, bathrooms, and flexible bonus space allow for guests, work-from-home needs, recreation, or multigenerational living.

Behind the scenes, the home is exceptionally well equipped with multi-zoned forced air heating and air conditioning, a humidification system, heat recovery ventilation, heated makeup air for balanced ventilation, radon mitigation, upgraded insulation, a whole-house water softener, 400-amp electrical service, wiring for EV charging and a hot tub, and selected windows pre-wired for electric blinds. Even the heated 3-car garage goes beyond storage, with a dedicated dog and boot wash station built for Montana living.

This is a home that delivers the visuals buyers expect, but also the systems, comfort, and long-term quality they rarely find all in one place.  LANDSCAPING INCLUDED WITH PURCHASE.

Your timeless Montana mountain retreat awaits in this stunning 4,280 sq ft custom home set on 13 pristine acres at approximately 6,000 feet in elevation.

Designed across three levels with 23 foot soaring ceilings, including a dramatic loft, the home is anchored by a striking south-facing wall of glass that captures natural light and frames sweeping sunset views beyond downtown Bozeman—visible right from your deck. The main level features an expansive kitchen, dining area, and a luxurious primary suite complete with a private deck and hot tub overlooking the mountain landscape.

Exceptional craftsmanship is showcased throughout, beginning with 6-inch hand-scraped birch flooring in the kitchen, knotty alder doors, and matching alder window, door, and baseboard trim. The kitchen features rustic hickory cabinetry, which continues throughout all bathrooms, as well as the mudroom, wine closet, and workshop. Locally harvested Douglas fir—sourced within two miles—has been crafted into the kitchen countertops and fireplace mantel, while exposed beams and stacked support posts add architectural character from the basement through the great room to the loft.

Warm finishes continue with pine tongue-and-groove ceilings in the great room and downstairs bedrooms, a custom cherry bookcase in the loft, travertine tile in the primary bath, slate in the entryway, and barnwood accents in the bunk room. The lower level offers a spacious living and game room with walk-out access to a firepit and tranquil water feature.

Outdoor living is equally impressive, with cedar siding, sandstone steps and walkways, and a stone fireplace seating area. High-quality Jeld-Wen windows and patio doors bring in light, while a dual heating system with Lennox forced air and radiant heat ensures comfort.

Set in Hyalite Ranch and positioned beside 8.86 acres of subdivision open space and trail systems, this home delivers expansive eastern and western views with a modern layout built for real entertaining and real life. Offering 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 4,187 SF of finished living space, the floorplan is bright, intentional, and loaded with the kind of function buyers pretend they don’t care about until they see it.

The main level is anchored by a soaring great room with a gas fireplace and walls of glass that pull the landscape into the living space. The kitchen is equal parts statement and workhorse with a Thermador appliance package (gas range, double ovens, refrigerator, dishwasher), quartz surfaces with a quartz backsplash, and a large island designed for gathering. A walk-in pantry adds serious capacity, including space for a secondary fridge/freezer setup and storage that actually keeps counters clear.

Finishes throughout are elevated and intentional, including designer lighting selections sourced from brands such as Arhaus, bringing a polished, curated feel that sets this home apart from the usual “builder-basic” look.

A standout flex feature is the main-level office with a closet, making it a true bedroom option when needed. The owner’s suite is a genuine retreat with a custom closet system and a spa bath featuring in-floor heat, because stepping onto cold tile in Montana is a cruel joke no one asked for.

Utility spaces are elevated here: the mudroom is a high-end gear gallery with an exceptional amount of built-in storage for coats, boots, bags, and all the “where do we put this” items. The laundry room is oversized with abundant linen storage and ample folding and staging space, the kind that makes daily life smoother instead of chaotic.

And then there’s the garage situation, which is frankly ridiculous in the best way: a 2-car garage (800 SF, 32' x 25') plus an RV garage bay (682.5 SF, 39' x 17'6"), giving you space for vehicles, toys, tools, and the lifestyle that comes with them. HOME COMES FULLY LANDSCAPED AND SHALL BE INSTALLED WHEN WEATHER PERMITS.
