Sky Band Ranch captures the essence of Southwestern Montana living with 262 acres positioned at the southern base of the Bangtail Mountains between Bozeman and Livingston. Tucked into a private hillside setting surrounded by timbered hillsides, lush meadows, creek bottom, and abundant wildlife habitat, the property offers an exceptional combination of refined craftsmanship, recreation, and usable land. Area Creek, also known as O'Rea Creek, runs through the ranch for approximately one-third of a mile, while mountain and ranch land views create a striking backdrop throughout the property. Built in 2008, the 9,000 SF western-style residence was thoughtfully designed to complement the surrounding landscape while delivering exceptional quality and comfort. Massive timber beams and trusses, hewn Douglas fir walls, custom cabinetry, solid wood doors, and recently refinished wide plank fir flooring define the home's warm mountain aesthetic. The open concept living, kitchen, and dining area is anchored by an impressive two-sided stone fireplace and expansive Pella windows framing the surrounding scenery. The chef's kitchen features premium Wolf, Viking, Sub-Zero, and Asko appliances with generous prep and entertaining space. The home offers 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, with each bedroom featuring a private ensuite bath. One of the secondary suites is enhanced by its own fireplace, creating a comfortable retreat for guests or family. Additional spaces include a dedicated office or library, spacious laundry room, oversized attached two-car garage, and a large stone patio complete with a fireplace and hot tub hookup. The 3,570 SF partially finished basement presents substantial future opportunity for recreation, wellness, guest accommodations, or additional living areas. Existing plans are available for review. Sky Band Ranch supports horses or livestock and offers direct access to year-round recreation, including horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, hunting, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing right from the property. Wildlife such as elk, deer, moose, bear, grouse, and Hungarian partridge are regularly seen throughout the ranch, completing a truly exceptional Montana retreat within convenient reach of Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, dining, shopping, and Yellowstone access.
