There are riverfront homes, and then there is 49622 Gallatin Road. Situated on over five acres with more than 900 feet of Blue Ribbon fishing frontage, this isn’t just a mountain house—it’s a front-row seat to the best of the Gallatin River. Whether you’re watching otters play from the deck, spotting elk across the water, or casting into one of the most productive fishing holes in the canyon, this property manages to feel both deeply peaceful and incredibly convenient.
The home opens into a welcoming gallery entry flanked by storage. From here, the layout flows naturally into spaces designed for both privacy and connection. To the left, the primary suite offers a true escape. The en-suite bathroom features a freestanding soaking tub positioned to take in river views. Above the primary bedroom, a whimsical loft adds character—perfect for a kids’ hideaway or extra storage. Nearby, a versatile bonus room currently serves as a bedroom but is ready to become your gym, craft room, or gear hub. A dedicated home office sits off the main hall, offering a backdrop of the Gallatin that makes checking emails a pleasure.
The heart of the home is defined by vaulted ceilings and a modern gas fireplace. A wall of glass curtain doors erases the boundary between the interior and the expansive deck, sitting just 20 feet from the water’s edge. Smartly appointed for the chef, the kitchen features Miele appliances and a striking leathered Taj Mahal Quartz waterfall island. A designer wood-clad pantry includes a built-in water bottle filler—a small but essential detail for Montana life.
Down the hall, a second en-suite bedroom features custom tile work and a walk-in closet. Upstairs, a guest loft offers two built-in queen beds, a full bath, and a private deck for morning coffee over the river. The property includes a fully remodeled ADU above the two-car garage. With modern finishes and elevated views, it’s an ideal setup for guests or a STR rental. The garage also features additional laundry hookups.
Adding a layer of Montana history, an original electrified cabin sits on the acreage. It’s the ultimate “fishing shack” or “she-shed,” serving as a perfect focal point for entertaining, . While the property feels like a resort, it’s well-positioned for daily life: 15 minutes to Big Sky, 5 minutes to schools, and 45 minutes to the Bozeman Airport. Standing on the deck, overlooking the river, this is a property that truly moves the soul.
