Description
With direct East Gallatin River frontage, private trout ponds teeming with rainbow trout, sweeping vistas across the Gallatin Range, and a location just 5 minutes from downtown Bozeman, this extraordinary 20-acre estate within the exclusive Old River Farm community represents one of Southwest Montana's most compelling offerings.
Designed by renowned Locati Architects and expertly constructed by Schlauch Bottcher Construction, the residence showcases timeless mountain architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and meticulous attention to detail. Rich walnut finishes define the home throughout, from the flooring and custom millwork to the doors and trim, creating a warm and sophisticated aesthetic that complements the surrounding landscape. Custom alder cabinetry is featured throughout the residence, adding both character and craftsmanship. A dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the great room, while curated lighting and carefully selected finishes elevate every space.
The chef's kitchen features premium appliances, stunning Taj Mahal Quartzite countertops, an oversized gathering island, and a fully appointed butler's pantry designed for effortless entertaining. The primary suite serves as a private retreat overlooking the ponds, complete with a fireplace, direct outdoor access, and a spa-inspired bathroom. A private executive office, media room, and a dedicated guest wing with three en-suite guest suites provide ample room for family and visitors alike.
Equally impressive are the grounds, where extensive landscaping has been thoughtfully designed to enhance both beauty and habitat. Mature trees, native plantings, water features, and open meadows create a sanctuary for Montana wildlife, with frequent visits from deer, waterfowl, songbirds, and other native species. Approximately one-half mile of private trails wind throughout the property, connecting the ponds, river frontage, and surrounding landscape. The two stocked ponds, home to rainbow trout and supported by sophisticated recirculation and aeration systems, further enhance the property's unique recreational appeal.
Properties of this caliber are exceptionally rare. Combining East Gallatin River frontage, world-class architecture, extraordinary craftsmanship, remarkable wildlife habitat, and immediate access to downtown Bozeman, this is a truly rare opportunity to experience Montana living at its finest.
