House, Guest House with Huge 49'x50' Garage on the Gallatin River just North of Big Sky in Gallatin Gateway, Montana!!!! FANTASTIC INCOME POTENTIAL. Welcome Home to BOZEMAN'S ULTIMATE GALLATIN RIVER RETREAT boasting 330+ feet of Gallatin River frontage, nestled on ~1.6+ acres surrounded by nature, wildlife, fly fishing & unlimited outdoor recreation. Ideally seated halfway between Bozeman and Big Sky, only 15 minutes from Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, this property tells a story originating in the early 70’s as a small & humble riverfront cabin with a primitive old barn. With the vision of the current contractor/owner who’s had a passion for the location, the property has been transformed into a modern retreat while still holding homage to its unassuming origin. An expansive addition allows the property to now boast a 4 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath main home, including a 49’x50’ garage/barn space (with polymer floor) that provides an additional 20’x50’ bonus & rec space with elevated river front decking & offering the private 4th bedroom, artist studio, private office or fly-tying retreat. Adding to all of this is a 1 bed, 1 bath guest home constructed within the charm of the “old barn” that was painstakingly dismantled board by board on the exterior only to be restored & renovated to an guest apartment with it's own private deck that directly overlooks the river as well. The main residence is equipped with an indoor/outdoor Sonos system, Starlink to keep you connected & an absolutely tricked out bonus area including poker table, movie area, cozy wood fireplace & live edge bar w/ beverage center, ice maker & state of the art dishwasher. This property speaks to the soul & is a place that allows you to soak in quiet moments on the sprawling front porch watching the western sun set, & sip coffee or a cocktail on the back upper or lower deck while listening to the river & its water trickle and travel by. Better yet, this property brings you evenings around the fire pit roasting marshmallows & simply enjoying a different pace. Located in one of the valley's most sought-after areas with historic Gallatin Gateway & its restaurants that hail a cult-like following only moments away, adding to the charm & convenience. With no zoning restrictions, incredibly light covenants, & no HOA you have the freedom to embrace the Montana lifestyle on your terms. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a slice of paradise that truly captures the essence of Montana living.
