About This Property
865 Claim Creek Rd is a partially furnished home nestled in the woods, offering a tranquil and picturesque living experience. The house is a charming two-bed two, two-bath, 2,000 sf, 4-story house with a full basement, a big upstairs, and an enclosed loft that could also be used as a bedroom. The house boasts a hot tub, a sauna, and a grid-tied solar electric system for massively reduced monthly electricity costs. The property has super high-speed internet, so working from home is feasible. It's on 10+ private acres in a gated community on Claim Creek and is not part of the HOA. There is a large deck off the front and back of the house with amazing views. The house is insulated with straw bales and provides a comfortable setting even during the coldest and warmer summer days. It has in-floor radiant LP heating and a wood stove. The house is fed from a freshwater spring with incredible-tasting water. There is also a complete UV water filtration system with a booster pump, so water pressure throughout the dwellings is powerful.
The views from the deck looking out at Frog Rock are amazing. The way the property is situated, neighbors are rarely seen or heard. It is very private, and when one is there, they are alone, but really only 15 short minutes from Bozeman and 20 minutes from Livingston. Trail Creek Road's "left" leads directly to Chico Hot Springs and the Yellowstone River. The house is built and surrounded by old-growth Aspens, some 40+ years old.
The property includes a newer barn with a shop and a fully furnished studio apartment. The main floor of the shop is 1,010 sf. It has a large garage door and is heated with electricity and a wood option. It has a utility sink and plenty of shelves for storage. Two cars can fit in the door. There is also a small utility shed for tools. A qualified tenant could look to sublet the above-grade studio apartment to a long-term tenant. The apartment has been rented in the past for $1500+/month. There is a nice lofted deck off the apartment with a separate entrance.
This spectacular property has awesome old-growth Aspens, fur, and pine. There are a few springs on the property, and moose, elk, deer, owls, and foxes are a constant presence. When fall comes around, the entire property turns alpenglow, and the inside and outside of the house turns orange, pink, and purple. The underbrush resembles a Northeast October maple tree forest.
When the snow covers the area, one can easily snowmobile to Goose Creek, ski down the property, or slay ride the driveway. In the warmer months, the property offers cut-out trails to view wildflowers, ride mountain bikes, build tree forts, have campouts, sit by a fire ring, and enjoy nature. There is a zipline on the property as well.
Claim Creek Rd is plowed and maintained by the HOA and is not the responsibility of the renter. The driveway is about 1/4 mile long and can either be maintained by the renter or subbed out to the company that plows the main road. A skid steer with chains will be left on the property for a qualified tenant could use if needed.
Bridger Bowl can be accessed through Jack Creek Rd, thus not needing to go through town to hit the ski hill. It takes about 20 minutes to the parking lot and is way less stressful than leaving town. Chestnut Ridge bike trail is right there, and Newman Creek is down the road providing creek fishing.
865 Claim Creek Rd is a house located in Gallatin County and the 59715 ZIP Code. This area is served by the Lamotte Elementary School District attendance zone.
