Welcome to Crazy Bear Ranch!
This iconic, Sapphire Home is your dream vacation come true. With 120 acres of green pastures, two ponds, and a short drive to national forest, to explore you can have your Montana adventure without having to leave. The wrap around porch is the ultimate spot to sit and enjoy the breathtaking scenery. This home is right in the middle of the Gallatin Valley with Bozeman 20 miles in one direction and Big Sky 30 miles in the other, you can experience everything you want in one vacation.
Inside this home you are greeted with a large, open space concept living area providing plenty of space for everyone to be together. Whether you are cooking in the kitchen or lounging in the dining room, you won't be left out. The fully equipped kitchen has stainless steel appliances and a large island making prepping big meals simple. The dining room table offers seating for 10 people directly in front of large bay windows looking out to a picturesque view of the mountains. Don't miss the bear walking by as you are getting breakfast ready, or a mountain lion in the trees as you sip on your coffee, this is home to several kinds of wildlife making it possible to see it all right here. The fireplace adds a warm, rustic character to the space, though it is decorative and not operational.
The primary bedroom is in its own wing of the home. Just walk down the hallway with floor-to-ceiling windows leading you directly to your own private oasis. Here you will find a king bed with a seating area and a stone accent wall spreading across the entire room. The fireplace adds a charming architectural touch, though it is decorative and not operational. The en-suite bathroom includes a walk-in shower with two shower heads and a soaking tub elevated to preserve your view of the surrounding nature. This space creates a perfect area to wind down at the end of the day and recharge for more adventures.
There are two sets of staircases in this home. One leads upstairs to two more bedrooms each with their own ensuite bathrooms, and queen beds. The first bedroom gives a cabin feel with rustic decor, and a plush leather couch. The bathroom offers a single vanity with a walk-in shower finished with river stones up the walls. The second bedroom you'll find has a more modern feel with blue and gray accents, a glass desk accompanied by a chair, and views you will never forget. The ensuite bathroom has its own private soaking tub surrounded by windows, a walk-in shower, and a dual vanity with one large sink spanning the countertop. Each room creates the ultimate private retreat in its own way.
Head back downstairs to find the second staircase leading up to the movie theatre. When it's movie time a screen ascends from below at the press of a button. Three built-in full beds line the walls, framed in reclaimed wood, so the whole crew can pile in for movie night without anyone claiming the best seat. Sink into the leather sofas, curl up in a blanket, and let the room do the rest. A private bathroom with a tub/shower combo and single vanity means the whole gang can settle in for the night without ever having to leave the fun.
Whether it's a late-night film with the kids or a lazy afternoon, this space is a big-screen cinema by night, or an open gathering room with sweeping Montana views by day.
This home is part of our Sapphire Collection!
Some vacations are good. This one is unforgettable.
This home was hand-picked for one reason: it is exceptional. The design, the location, the finishes, the amenities, every single detail has been held to the highest standard. Nothing was left to chance, and nothing will disappoint.
When you arrive, you will find two plush Stay Montana robes waiting for you, homemade Ella Cookies on the counter, and a selection of locally made Montana candies ready to enjoy. Because the best Montana vacations do not start when you find something to do. They start the moment you walk through the door.
This is a home that takes care of you.
Montana is known as The Treasure State, home to some of the rarest sapphires in the world. The Yogo sapphire, found only here, is coveted for one simple reason: there is nothing else like it. Neither is this home.
Rare. Refined. Entirely worth it.
Book it before someone else does.
Summer in Bozeman
Summer in Bozeman has a rhythm to it. The Sweet Pea Festival, local rodeos, and the energy that comes with a college town in full swing give the season a personality you don't find everywhere. The location is hard to beat for getting outside. Yellowstone National Park, world-class fly fishing, whitewater rafting, hiking, tubing, and golf are all within easy reach, and Bozeman makes a great basecamp for day trips in just about any direction. When you're back in town, the food scene is genuinely good, the breweries are worth your time, and the streets stay lively well into the evening.
Winter in Bozeman
Bozeman is one of those towns where you can finish breakfast and be on the mountain in 20 minutes. Bridger Bowl is right outside town, with 2,000 skiable acres, 8 lifts, and an average of 350 inches of snowfall that keeps the conditions consistently good. If you want more terrain, Big Sky Resort is an easy drive and one of the biggest ski mountains in the country. For a completely different kind of winter day, Lone Mountain Ranch offers 85+ kilometers of groomed Nordic trails and holds the title of #1 Nordic Ski Resort in North America. Hyalite Canyon is worth knowing about too, especially if ice climbing is on your list. It's one of the best destinations for it in the entire country. After a day outside, Bozeman Hot Springs is a perfect reset, and downtown has plenty of restaurants, breweries, and shops to keep the evening going.
