Set along both banks of the West Gallatin River,A River’s Ranchoffers a rare opportunity to own more than 55 acres in one of southwest Montana’s most sought-after locations. Listed for $15.4 million, the property combines private river frontage, equestrian facilities and expansive mountain views, all within easy reach of Bozeman, Big Sky and Yellowstone National Park. Designed for entertaining and year-round recreation, the ranch balances the seclusion of Montana living with convenient access to some of the region’s most popular destinations.
The centerpiece of the property is a custom-built log home with six bedrooms, five bathrooms and 6,612 square feet of living space. Natural materials - including hand-hewn logs, river rock and granite - complement the surrounding landscape, while oversized windows frame views across the property’s pastures and toward the surrounding mountain ranges.
Inside, a soaring great room centers around a floor-to-ceiling river rock fireplace and connects seamlessly to the open kitchen and dining area. The layout encourages gathering, with generous living spaces that flow easily from one room to the next while maintaining the warmth expected from a traditional Montana lodge.
Designed with entertaining in mind, the property also includes a separate entertainment space complete with a bar, kitchenette, pool table, multiple television areas and a large dining table for hosting guests. A one-bedroom guest house offers additional privacy, giving visitors a comfortable place to stay while remaining connected to the main residence.
Outdoor living plays just as important a role as the interiors. An outdoor kitchen with a built-in smoker is accompanied by multiple dining areas and two large fire pits, creating spaces that can accommodate everything from intimate evenings outdoors to larger gatherings overlooking the ranch.
The property is equally equipped for equestrian living. A River’s Ranch features 21 horse bays, three fenced pastures with water access, three round pens, a dry lot and a level riding area suitable for training, recreational polo or rodeo events. A spacious garage provides room for vehicles, trailers and outdoor equipment.
One of the ranch’s defining features is its private stretch of the West Gallatin River, offering direct access to one of Montana’s premier blue-ribbon trout fisheries. Residents can fish from their own property while also enjoying hiking, horseback riding and year-round recreation throughout the surrounding region.
Although the ranch offers exceptional privacy, Bozeman and Big Sky are both within easy driving distance, providing access to restaurants, shopping, skiing and everyday conveniences. Big Sky Resort is less than an hour away, while Bridger Bowl offers another popular skiing destination approximately 45 minutes from the property.
A River’s Ranch offers a combination of acreage, private river frontage and equestrian amenities that is increasingly difficult to find in southwest Montana. Blending comfortable living spaces with opportunities for recreation throughout every season, the property offers a distinctive take on modern ranch living.
