Positioned in the quiet hills of Trail Creek between Bozeman and Livingston, this beautifully renovated log home offers a rare opportunity to experience authentic Montana living across 27 private acres. Surrounded by sweeping mountain vistas, mature timber, and open meadows, the property offers an exceptional sense of privacy while remaining conveniently accessible year-round. Thoughtfully renovated by the current owners, the residence balances the warmth of traditional Montana craftsmanship with refined modern improvements. Custom windows by Montana Sash and Door fill the home with natural light while framing expansive views. The open-concept living spaces flow seamlessly between the kitchen, dining, and living areas, centered around a dramatic stone fireplace with a handcrafted fireback by Montana Ironworks. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private retreat with its own fireplace, en suite bath, and sweeping valley views. Two additional guest bedrooms and a full bath provide comfortable accommodations for family and friends. The walkout lower level expands the home's versatility with a spacious family and game room, home office, full bath, and beautifully updated mudroom designed for Montana's outdoor lifestyle. Whether gathering after a day on the trail or working from home, the lower level adds valuable flexibility. Recent improvements include comprehensive exterior restoration with fresh stain and chinking, custom copper log end caps, refinished decking, new exterior doors, a backup generator, secondary private well with pump, and 1,000 gallons of in-ground propane capacity. The 27-acre parcel offers open meadow, mature timber, and room to embrace a more pastoral Montana lifestyle, with potential for horses and light agricultural use. A detached two-car garage and LaMotte School District add to the property's practicality, while its location between Bozeman and Livingston provides easy access to recreation, both communities, and the greater Yellowstone region. Private, panoramic, and distinctly Montana, this property offers the rare combination of authentic character, thoughtful renovation, meaningful acreage, and modern infrastructure. Equally suited to full-time living, a seasonal retreat, or a legacy Montana escape, it offers an opportunity to own not simply a home, but a way of life.
