AREA RECREATION
With well over a mile of the Gallatin River running through
the property in two braids, the fishing on the property
is exceptional. Trout fishing in the area is legendary and
anglers come from all over the world to experience the fly
fishing available in southwestern Montana and Yellowstone
National Park. The list of famous rivers within an easy day trip from the
property read like a destination-fishing guidebook with the Yellowstone,
Gallatin, Madison, and the spring creeks of Paradise Valley all within less
than an hour. Expanding the scope just a little includes additional notable
rivers such as the Jefferson, Big Hole, Ruby, Beaverhead, Missouri, and the
amazing waters of Yellowstone National Park. The property would be an
outstanding home base for the devoted angler providing miles of rivers
and streams to relish for a lifetime on a comfortable day-trip basis.
An indication of this area’s world-renowned trout fishing reputation is the
headquartering of the internationally acclaimed Simms Fishing Products
in Bozeman and Winston Fly Rods nearby in Twin Bridges.
For the equestrian enthusiast, the property offers many comfortable
horseback rides and includes a 300' x 160' outdoor riding arena that is
surrounded by trees right on the banks of the Gallatin River. There may
be outdoor arenas with more shine and polish, but you’d be hard-pressed
to find one with a more beautiful riverfront setting. In addition to all the
riding on the property, there are boundless opportunities for riding in
the nearby national forests. There are also many options in Bozeman and
throughout the state of Montana for competing in all facets of the sport
– western or English.
Exceptional skiing is available at two spectacular ski areas that are less
than an hour’s drive from the property. Bridger Bowl features its famous
‘Cold Smoke’ snow on over 2,000 skiable acres and a 2,700-foot vertical
rise with a wide variety of terrain including long slopes, glades, chutes, and
gullies. For the Nordic ski enthusiast, Crosscut Mountain Sports Center
offers over 35 kilometers of groomed Nordic skiing trails that are well
suited to all ability levels. The famed Big Sky Resort, with adjoining luxury
resorts – Yellowstone Club, Spanish Peak, and Moonlight Basin, offers a
world-class resort experience only an hour away. Lone Mountain Ranch
offers internationally renowned Nordic skiing in the Meadow Village of
Big Sky. Bozeman offers a comfortable, small-town feeling with big-city
amenities that is ranked as one of the top 10 ski towns by Skiing Magazine.
Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Cottonwood Creek Golf
Course, which is located only three miles from the property. The Gallatin
Valley is also home to a number of other public and private golf courses,
including Black Bull, Valley View, Riverside Country Club, and Bridger
Creek, which offer premier golf facilities in Montana and a variety of other
activities such as racquet sports, swimming, and dining.
The city of Bozeman offers a very diverse and active local calendar that
includes music, symphony, theatre, and a full slate of NCAA Division I
Intercollegiate athletic events that are available at Montana State University.
There are many avid fans who actively follow the MSU Bobcats, creating
lively and welcoming sporting events throughout the fall, winter, and spring
months. The next owner of the property will be able to live in a number of
different worlds with fishing, hunting, skiing, golf, tennis, and the cultural
conveniences of Bozeman so easily accessible.
