About 1993, 1995 Bear Canyon Road
Cross a bridge over Bear Creek and follow the winding drive to discover an extraordinary 8.6± acre rural retreat bordering a vast expanse of State & Forest Service lands stretching toward Yellowstone National Park. With live water, evergreen forests, open meadows and majestic Bridger Mountain views, this rare property offers exceptional privacy and direct access to miles of hiking & horseback riding just minutes from downtown Bozeman's amenities.
The main residence is a meticulously restored 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath log home that blends timeless Montana character with elevated modern finishes. Massive, beautifully maintained logs, circle-sawn wood floors, slate tile, and vaulted spaces create warmth and authenticity throughout. At the heart of the home, the expansive great room offers multiple gathering areas framed by picture windows and anchored by a dramatic two-story stone, wood-burning fireplace.
The remodeled kitchen pairs refined style with rustic charm, featuring sleek cabinetry, black granite countertops, premium stainless appliances, beverage cooler, wine storage and a butler's pantry. The main-level primary suite is a peaceful retreat with an ensuite bath and direct access to the outdoors, where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings end with the wind moving gently through the trees. An office, laundry area, and a newly rebuilt wraparound deck with wrought-iron railing complete the main level. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms—including one ensuite—feature vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and views of the surrounding landscape.
Thoughtfully positioned to capture panoramic mountain views and dramatic sunsets, the 2,850+ sf Second Home constructed in 2019, is a 2 bed / 2.5 bath hideaway. Clean architectural lines, expansive windows, durable modern finishes, and a screened porch create effortless indoor-outdoor living. The upper level features a light-filled primary suite, kitchen, cozy living area with fireplace, and a laundry room complete with a dog wash station, while the lower level includes a guest suite, office, second living room w/ fireplace and plumbing for a future kitchenette/bar. A detached, heated two-car garage adds flexibility and convenience.
The detached 32x42 shop provides ample space for a drift boat, Sprinter van, tractor, or other gear & equipment. Bring your horses and embrace a lifestyle defined by privacy, craftsmanship and endless recreation. This is a rare opportunity to own a true Montana legacy property.
