Tucked within a gated enclave of only a few residences, this property offers a rare opportunity to own one of Bozeman’s most artfully designed & nature-immersed retreats. Set on 20 pristine acres with unobstructed views of Mount Blackmore, this one-of-a-kind property is a haven of old-growth Douglas fir, natural springs, year-round wetlands, and nearly two miles of on-property private trails. Wildlife is abundant—moose, elk, deer, and fox are regular visitors. HOA easement access to National Forest trails lies just 500 feet from the home, putting boundless outdoor adventure within easy reach. Between 2019 and 2024, the residence underwent a substantial renovation that harmoniously blends elevated design with thoughtful sustainability. Reclaimed wood beams, Monarch “Domaine Braize” wide-plank oak floors, and expansive picture windows create an atmosphere of timeless elegance & warmth, perfectly framing the surrounding forest & the commanding view of Mount Blackmore. A Ci2700 Regency wood-burning stove anchors the living space with radiant comfort, supported by seasoned on-site firewood & excellent insulation. The chef’s kitchen is both refined & functional, appointed with a paneled SubZero fridge/freezer, induction cooktop, custom lighting, and seamless flow to the living & dining areas. Indoor-outdoor living is effortless with TimberTech fire-rated decking, a 7-person sunken Prism hot tub, built-in SONOS sound system, and views stretching across the Gallatin Valley. Energy use is remarkably low thanks to a 10,000 kW solar system with Harvest Solar panels, premium insulation, and metal roofing. A heated two-car garage features a Flying Pig dog wash, while an automated pet door and invisible fencing encompass the full 20 acres for four-legged freedom. Additional amenities include a large home gym (easily converted to a fourth bedroom), double-enclosed deck storage, and integrated fire mitigation systems. Every detail has been curated with intention—from Veraluz lighting & a Vermont-made Hubbardton Forge chandelier, to Nama Rococo wallpaper, marble bath finishes, and a reclaimed Virginia reclaimed fireplace mantle—each element adding depth, character, and story. More than a home, this is a private mountain retreat where exceptional design, pristine wilderness, and sustainable living converge—just minutes from downtown Bozeman, yet a world apart.

What our clients are saying:

Jody is FANTASTIC!! We were first time home buyers and she was with us ever step of the way! She never made us feel silly for being new to the process. She definitely knows the area, always kept us up to date on new listings and was just a delight to work with. I would have absolutely zero hesitation recommending her to anyone. Thanks for all the hard-work Jody! We love our house!

K.G.

Jody was awesome to work with. We were new to the area and she was helpful and knowledgeable about not only the housing market, but schools, and lenders. She worked with my work schedule for showings. Jody also stayed late to write an offer to meet our schedule. I would recommend Jody to anyone needing a realtor.

M.L.

Jody Savage is knowledgeable, trustworthy and tireless. I purchased a property this spring (2017) near Bozeman; Jody represented me as well as the seller in the transaction. Jody led me through the entire process because this was the first property I had ever purchased. HOA complications and other details made the purchase more difficult. Jody undertook a boat-load of legwork to make the transaction go smoothly. I hope to work with Jody again.

J.D.

My wife and I used Jody Savage for the sale of our home in Gallatin Gateway, MT. Jody was exceptional in all phases of our sale. We had multiple offers over asking price and sold our home in two days! Jody uses up to date modern marketing, was extremely professional and knowledgeable regarding our market and addressing our needs. She was great to work with and very responsive to any questions we had. Jody is the best in the business and we highly recommend her services!

G.B.

Jody is amazing. She knows the market and was able to advise us on all our many concerns. We so appreciated how responsive she was; within minutes of submitting an online request for realtor contact on a house, she had called us. All our communications with her were like that; we never had to wait long to hear back from her. She was patient and always willing to sit down and meet with us. When we found the house we wanted, she worked tirelessly to secure it for us, and she was extremely patient with us. She was easy to communicate with, understand, and a pleasure to work with – I highly recommend Jody!
