Welcome to Bridger Creek Retreat. These 42 acres represent an uncommon opportunity to create your Montana vision from the ground up. Only 5 minutes from downtown Bozeman, sitting at the doorstep of all Bridger Canyon’s recreational opportunities, the property feels remote, with multiple attributes of a rural experience. Bridger Creek, a year round trout stream, forms the property’s southern boundary for ½ mile. The mature riparian area supports an abundant wildlife population of moose, elk, deer and black bear. Stepping away from cottonwoods and willows, the open meadows with quaking aspen groves and lush grasses allow for unobstructed views to the south and north east. The meadows are bordered to the north by the bench portion which acts as a screen, filtering road influence and creating privacy. The change in elevation and character suggests multiple likely build sites. Currently a 3 bed, 2 bath home suitable for rental or manager’s quarters is tucked into the hillside entrance, along with several shops and garage. The Bridger Creek Retreat’s 42 acres lie in 3 parcels within the Bridger Creek Special Zoning District and Agriculture Exclusive sub district. Residential use is allowed and conditional uses may include guest ranches, B & Bs and accessory dwellings. There are flood irrigation rights for the meadows which historically have produced excellent grass hay. Recreation begins right outside your door. The iconic “M” Trail and Drinking Horse Mountain Trailhead are two minutes away. Bridger Bowl is 15 minutes up the road along with the entire canyon’s beloved hikes, biking trails and camping locations. The Bridger Creek Retreat reflects the best of what living in the Gallatin Valley offers; mountain views, open space, endless recreational opportunities, only 5 minutes from the best downtown in Montana. Bozeman offers world class dining, shopping and cultural experiences when you need your espresso fix and yet gives that quick escape back to your private space. Are you looking for the perfect place to bring your Montana retreat, equestrian estate, multi generational compound or simple luxury private home vision to life? This is it.
