positioned in the quiet hills of trail creek between bozeman and livingston, this beautifully renovated log home offers an exceptional opportunity to experience elevated montana living across 27 private acres. framed by sweeping mountain vistas, mature timber, and open meadows, the setting strikes a rare balance between tranquility, natural beauty, and year-round accessibility.
blending authentic montana craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates, the residence has been extensively improved by the current owners with careful attention to both aesthetics and functionality. custom windows by montana sash and door invite abundant natural light into the home while perfectly capturing the surrounding landscape from nearly every room. the open-concept main living area was designed to gather and entertain, featuring smooth flow between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces, all centered around a dramatic stone fireplace accented by a handcrafted fireback from montana ironworks.
the upper-level primary suite provides a true retreat, complete with a private fireplace, en suite bath, and expansive views overlooking the valley and surrounding mountain ranges. two additional guest bedrooms and a full bath offer comfortable accommodations with warmth and character throughout. on the lower level, the walkout basement expands the home′s livability with a family/game room, guest quarters, full bath, and a thoughtfully updated mudroom tailored for montana′s outdoor lifestyle.
recent seller improvements significantly enhance the property′s quality and long-term value, including a comprehensive exterior restoration with fresh stain and chinking, custom copper log end caps, refinished wraparound decking, and new exterior doors. additional infrastructure upgrades—including a backup generator, secondary well with pump, and a 1,000-gallon in-ground propane tank—provide added comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind.
with room for light agricultural use, a detached two-car garage, and location within the lamotte school district, this property presents a compelling blend of rustic elegance and modern convenience. offering privacy, panoramic views, and timeless montana appeal, this is a truly special mountain retreat equally suited for full-time living or a legacy recreational escape.
