Nestled within thousands of acres of state and Forest Service land, this fully renovated historic homestead cabin offers an unparalleled retreat just 8 miles from downtown Bozeman, MT. Situated on 1.39 acres with live water and an additional .94 acre state Land Use License (2.33 combined total) the cabin spans a spacious 3,200 sq. ft. including three bedrooms, two and a half baths, two full kitchens, two laundry rooms, two great rooms, three incredible wood burning fire places and A/C . No covenants or HOA! The property's unique layout accommodates versatility, functioning as either two separate standalone units or one single-family home as it is currently used. This makes the property an ideal choice for short-term rental investment or for anyone seeking a secluded mountain retreat. Both units boast fully updated mechanicals and a new roof, along with a complete exterior log restoration by BTi Log Home Care in 2022. Additionally, a detached dry cabin sits at the back of the property offering multifunctional space ideal for an artist's studio, office, or guest quarters. Located just 23 minutes from Yellowstone International Airport, 30 minutes from Bridger Bowl, and 1 hour and 20 minutes from Yellowstone National Park, this historic homestead property offers a perfect blend of seclusion and convenience, with easy access outdoor recreation just minutes from town. The Bear Canyon Ski Hill and two trailheads are right outside your door! It is also important to note that Bear Canyon Road, currently gravel, is scheduled to be paved starting June/July of 2024. This improvement will not only enhance the drive in and out of the canyon but also assist in the already well-maintained snow removal efforts by Gallatin County, ensuring improved access and smooth travel in all four seasons.
