Set on 20 acres within the gated Cottonwood Creek Ranch, this exceptional mountain retreat is a collaboration between renowned architect Jonathan Foote and OSM Construction. Surrounded by towering pines, aspens, wildflower meadows, and views of Mount Blackmore, the 3,784± square-foot residence offers five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a level of custom craftsmanship difficult to replicate. Designed to feel inseparable from the landscape, the home blends naturally into the hillside beneath pitched rooflines, a dramatic stone chimney, and natural wood siding. Inside, the craftsmanship is evident from the moment you enter, where hand-hewn log walls, traditional wide chinking, peeled-log railings, reclaimed wood details, and wrought-iron accents establish the home’s distinctly hand-built character. Wide-plank hardwood floors, exposed timber framing, and substantial wood surrounds continue throughout the interior. At the heart of the home, the vaulted great room features an expansive wall of glass that frames the views, while a monumental stone fireplace creates a dramatic focal point. The kitchen provides a refined contrast to the home’s more rustic materials, pairing alder cabinetry with honed soapstone countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Five bedrooms, including two primary suites, offer ample space for family and guests, while deep covered porches, stone terraces, and a private hot tub patio extend the living spaces into the landscape. Current ownership has invested extensively in preserving the home’s character while thoughtfully enhancing the property. The handcrafted logs and exterior woodwork have been meticulously restored and maintained, and significant improvements include a new standing-seam steel roof, a detached two-car garage, recently updated kitchen, and numerous additional upgrades. A comprehensive list of recent improvements available upon request. Although remarkably private, the property is 20± minutes from Bozeman’s restaurants, shops, galleries, and cultural amenities. The nearby South Cottonwood Trailhead provides access to thousands of acres of National Forest for hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and backcountry exploration, while Hyalite Canyon, blue-ribbon trout streams, Big Sky Resort, and Yellowstone National Park are all within easy reach. More than a mountain home, this is a legacy property defined by enduring architecture, excellent craftsmanship, and a setting that feels entirely its own.
