Nestled in the heart of Bridger Canyon, 20 minutes to downtown Bozeman, this Montana mountain log home offers a blend of privacy, craftsmanship, and natural beauty. This 4, 498 square foot residence sits on 20.21 acres of Montana wilderness. Over 1000 feet of Bridger Creek meanders over the property - fish for trout outside your front door! Sunlight floods the great room - the heart of the home - is complete with floor-to-ceiling windows, a vaulted ceiling, and a striking fieldstone wood-burning fireplace. The main suite has a wood-burning fireplace, an en-suite bath, walk-in closet, and access to a quiet deck area. The lofted second floor has two bedrooms, a Jack and Jill bath, and an office leading to a pretty Juliet balcony. The walk-out daylight basement has 2 bedrooms, a full bath, family room, and office. Thoughtful updates preserve the authentic character of a mountain log home, adding handcrafted details like the custom-milled red and white oak floors—harvested from the owner’s family farm in South Carolina—and New Zealand wool carpeting. The kitchen has been upgraded with Viking and Wolf appliances, leathered granite counters, and a farmhouse sink. Three baths were remodeled adding walk-in glass showers, heated floors, towel warmers, and custom cabinetry. Cedar shingles were replaced with a metal roof, the original deck was rebuilt with new decking, stairs, and railing. Windows, including the large picture wall in the great room, have been replaced to enhance energy efficiency and capitalize on the views. Installing modern infrastructure like 2 new septic systems, solar panels, Generac generator, heat pump, central air, and a new furnace add peace of mind. A bridge crosses the creek to a private trail system for hiking, skiing, or peaceful exploration. A 48' x 36', 2-Story Barndominium, adds value with a main-level shop featuring closed-loop glycol in-floor heat. The unfinished upper level boasts vaulted ceilings, wall of windows, and a 1, 300 square foot wraparound deck with breathtaking views. A new separate septic system is in place for future customization of this bonus space. Observe as elk, bear, moose, and other wildlife stop by the creek for a drink. Sipping coffee on the sunny, south-facing deck or setting off on a fly-fishing, skiing, or hiking adventure, this property invites you to slow down and reconnect with nature. Offering rare seclusion with proximity to world-class recreation, this is Montana living at its finest.
