1491 W Beaver Creek Rd, Gallatin Gateway, MT, 59730
About This Home
Top-of-the-world views, unmatched privacy, and direct access to Montana wilderness define this extraordinary 20-acre Big Sky retreat. Perched high above the valley and bordering U.S. Forest Service land, 1491 West Beaver Creek Road captures breathtaking panoramic views of Lone Mountain, the Spanish Peaks, Pioneer Mountain, and countless sunsets that stretch across the horizon. Spanning more than 4,500 square feet, the property features five bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms between the main residence and a detached guest house completed in 2021. Designed for both gathering and retreat, the main home offers vaulted ceilings, a striking fireplace, multiple living areas, and walls of windows that bring the surrounding landscape into every room. The guest house includes two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a full kitchen, providing exceptional flexibility for guests and extended family. Built by Blue Ribbon Builders, a trusted name in Big Sky for more than 50 years, the home reflects quality craftsmanship and timeless mountain design. Outdoor spaces are equally impressive, featuring expansive Ipe decking, a large patio, and front-row seats to some of the most spectacular scenery in Southwest Montana. Located at the end of the road, this property offers a rare sense of seclusion while remaining just 25 minutes from Big Sky Resort and Town Center. With over 20 acres, abundant wildlife, direct access to public lands, a three-car garage, and views that simply must be experienced in person, this is Big Sky living at its finest.
