Situated on 20 pristine acres within the highly sought-after Norman Ranches community, this exceptional custom residence offers a rare blend of natural beauty, thoughtful design, and extraordinary future potential. Evan Reese Creek flows year-round through the property, creating a stunning backdrop of mature trees, lush riparian habitat, and abundant wildlife. Sweeping, unobstructed views span the entire valley, with mountain ranges rising in every direction, delivering a setting that is both inspiring and unforgettable. Designed by Black Mountain Architects to fully embrace its remarkable surroundings, the home is positioned to capture dramatic vistas from nearly every room. Expansive windows frame the landscape like artwork, while the open-concept kitchen, dining, and living areas seamlessly connect to a spacious deck overlooking the creek, rolling acreage, and panoramic valley views beyond. Inside, refined finishes and modern conveniences create an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and inviting. Quartz countertops, a professional six-burner gas range, stainless steel appliances, radiant in-floor heat, automated shades, smart home technology, and carefully curated design elements combine comfort, functionality, and timeless style. What truly distinguishes this property is the opportunity it presents for the future. The septic system was thoughtfully designed to accommodate up to eight bedrooms, supporting both an expansion of the main residence and the addition of a guest home. Existing plans are available for a two-bedroom addition, while the site has already been envisioned for a future shop, barndominium, or separate three-bedroom guest residence. A secondary driveway loop is in place, creating a seamless foundation for future improvements. The outdoor spaces are equally impressive. One acre of fenced lawn and garden area features new sod, trees, and landscaping, complemented by ten raised garden beds, an insulated shed, multiple creek access points, and ample room for recreation, entertaining, and enjoying the property's exceptional natural setting. Neighboring 40 and 160-acre tracts, gated access, and proximity to more than 70,000 acres of National Forest land and extensive trail systems, the property offers a remarkable sense of space and connection to the surrounding landscape while remaining conveniently located less than 25 minutes from Bozeman, Belgrade, and Manhattan, and just 20 minutes from the airport.
