Let me show you this listing!

Water defines this property, with a spring-fed creek flowing year round, its current never silent, drawing elk, deer, birds, and trout to the banks and turning the grounds into a small working ecosystem. Just a short walk beyond, runs the Gallatin River and its blue-ribbon trout water, with the Gallatin National Forest bordering the property.

This private river camp encompasses roughly 1.6 wooded acres across three parcels, and while all seasons are stunning, summer is the showstopper, when the water runs full and the grounds turn green. The landscaping is mature with stone paths, shaded sitting corners, and a series of landscaped water features whose pools and quiet falls were built to mirror the creek itself. Snow softens it in winter, spring runs the creek loud, and the evergreens hold their color through every month between.

A custom log home anchors the property with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, refined kitchen, and cozyliving room. A separate guest cabin holds 2 bedrooms and 1 bath alongside the living room with a fireplace and full kitchen, room for family and friends without crowding the main house. A hand-hewn cabin dating to the 1800s lives on as a private den or artist studio, a single sitting room with an oversized chair and a built-in library and desk. When the weather turns, the independent screened family room carries the evening, with a game table, space to lounge, and a cocktail bar, all open to the sound of moving water. The detached two-car garage feels like a carriage house and is immaculate and worthy of any vehicle, finished with an epoxy floor, an enviable tool wall, and bonus space above accessed via a private stairway.

Minutes away are the shops, galleries and restaurants of Meadow Village and Town Center, with Big Sky Resort just a few minutes up the road. Few properties sit this close to town while bordering both forest and water, providing easy access to the great outdoors and fishing directly out your back door.

A century of stewardship shaped this ground. The collection of structures, the water, the trees, all of it carries the marks of careful hands. The next chapter of 48500 Gallatin Road is unwritten. It waits for whoever arrives ready to write their own Big Sky story.
