About This Home
Welcome to the Special K Lodge! This spectacular 5BR/6BA, 5,451 sq ft luxury log home on a rare double-sized 40 acre lot in Big Sky's Elk Ridge Ranch is just 10 minutes from Big Sky Town Center and only 5 minutes to the iconic Gallatin River. The exceptional property offers unobstructed views of both Lone Mountain and the Spanish Peaks, creating a breathtaking backdrop year-round. Crafted with high-end finishes throughout, the home features a gourmet chef’s kitchen outfitted with top-tier appliances, a massive floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace in the vaulted-ceiling great room, and five spacious bedrooms. The master bedroom is on the main level and boasts its own rock fireplace. Upstairs you'll find 2 additional en-suite bedrooms and a family room, and the lower level has an additional bedroom/bath, as well as a bunkroom with built-in bunks reminiscent of an old train car. Step outside onto the enormous 360° wraparound deck perfect for entertaining or quietly soaking in the scenery and wildlife, and unwind in the private hot tub under Montana’s big sky. Or enjoy your morning cup of coffee while sitting in the large screened-in porch off of the kitchen. This is true Montana living: private, peaceful, and simply unmatched.
