In the fall, visitors and residents enjoy a wide range of hunting opportunities in Big Sky and beyond, whether it’s big game they’re after, such as deer, antelope, elk, or moose, or small game, such as birds. But how about having your own private Big Sky Country hunting property, something many passionate hunters have probably dreamt about since they started tracking animals. Imagine your own private hunting cabin tucked back into the land you own and love? Imagine walking right out of that back door and directly into the woods.
Here we present some of the finest hunting properties on the market in Montana.
Grizzly Meadows, Emigrant, Montana
Located in the beautiful Paradise Valley, near the North Entrance to Yellowstone National Park, wildlife abounds on this 626-acre retreat that sits between Emigrant and Gardiner, Montana. Bordering National Forest lands for almost 2 miles, hunters can set out right from the 11,000+ square-foot, 6-bedroom main home owned by Nascar racing team owner Richard Childress. The retreat-style property is perfect for trophy hunting, world-class fishing, hiking, horseback riding, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, four-wheeling, and snowmobiling. The views from all angles include Tom Miner Basin, Yankee Jim Canyon, the Yellowstone River, and the Absaroka Mountain Range. A true outdoorsman’s luxury retreat.
Wolf Creek Homestead, Wolf Creek, Montana
Located Between Helena and Great Falls, Montana, this grand mountain log home on 320 private acres is nestled into the timbered hillside, surrounded by wild lands. This outdoorsman’s dream home has plenty of storage for toys in the well-insulated 3-car garage and shop, along with hunting access and year-round springs and creeks running through. The 3-bedroom main house features stellar mountain views, hardwood floors, and detailed finishes throughout. Located right next to the creek is a log guest cabin with propane heat and no running water—the perfect accommodations for the hard-core hunters out there.
Gallatin Canyon North 5CN
Looking for your dream home in Big Sky? This fabulous 2,124 Sq. Ft., 3 BR, 2 BA home in the Gallatin Canyon. Located five miles from the entrance to Big Sky, near the Gallatin National Forest, no covenants or zoning! Enjoy pristine views of the surrounding mountains while sitting on your wrap around deck and the might Gallatin River. This home also has vaulted ceilings, jacuzzi tubs, attached garage and a guest apartment. Back door access to hiking, hunting, and skiing.
Big Sky, Montana is many things to many people. It’s home, retreat, outdoor oasis, ski Mecca, summer paradise, neighbor to Yellowstone National Park, and the list goes on. Although somewhat small in population, it’s large in community feel and even bigger when it comes to things to do, especially in the great outdoors.
It’s fall in Montana, which means that the mornings are typically chilly and the afternoons often feature that Indian summer sun. Sometimes the days are so enjoyable that it’s hard to remember that severe weather is right around the corner.
