Secluded and beautifully situated new log home tucked among the pines on its own mountainous 26 acres 25 miles outside of Bozeman, Montana and 30 miles away from Livingston.A cozy yet commodious ski chalet, hiking base, summer writing and reflecting retreat, or fly fishing cabin. Mule deer, white tail, elk, raccoon, and moose are routinely sighted on the property. Bracket Creek, a shallow trout stream with browns and cutthroat and rainbow, meanders through the property. A private one mile driveway leads up from the creek road to the house, nestled in a protected draw of the heart of Bridger Canyon, with views of the Crazies and the Bridgers all around. Four-wheel drive is a must in the winter!Just 15 minutes away is Bridger Bowl, a small, family-style ski area that also guards the secret of one of the most challenging expert powder ridges in the west. 90 minutes away is the more well-known Big Sky Ski Resort. Equidistant is Yellowstone National Park, one of the nation's greatest summer attractions but one which is open, as beautiful and far less crowded in the winter season as well. And the summer in the Bozeman area offers arts, music, and dance festivals as well as wide open main streets of some of the most charming and genuinely friendly small Western towns you'd find anywhere. This Non-Smoking,

Log Home features three living levels, all with spectacular mountain and nature views. A light and very comfortable interior including three bedrooms, two baths, plus a pull-out sofabed upstairs in the loft. The cabin is heated with a wood-burning stove on the main floor and baseboard heat on the ground floor. There is a fully-equipped kitchen with a working antique gas stove, plus all modern built-in appliances such as microwave and dishwasher. The main floor bath has an oversize antique clawfoot tub, and there is a full upright grand piano in the parlor. Large sliding glass doors welcome you out onto the 1500 square foot of exterior redwood deck and up the landscaped walkway to your private six-person hot tub, where you can enjoy the countless stars of the Milky Way on a cool spring or autumn night, or the gentle snowfall of a crisp night of winter after a full day of skiing. So come to Bozeman, Montana... Heart of the Last Best Place!
