Property Description

MADISON RIVER FRONTAGE! Set along the banks of the Madison River, 279 N Beartrap Canyon Road offers a rare opportunity to own 16.235 acres with approximately 500 feet of river frontage in one of Southwest Montana’s most iconic recreational settings. Surrounded by BLM land, the property combines privacy with direct access to the river, open meadow, rugged hillside terrain, striking rock formations and expansive Montana views. The Madison River is quite literally at your doorstep, creating endless opportunities for fly fishing, floating, rafting and simply enjoying quiet days along the water. Whether casting a line from the riverbank, gathering around the riverside fire pit, or taking in the surrounding landscape, this is a setting that captures the Montana lifestyle in an authentic and memorable way. Existing improvements allow for immediate enjoyment of the property and include two modern tiny homes. The primary tiny home is 520 sf and features one bedroom plus a loft sleeping area, an open kitchen, living and dining space, a full bath with soaking tub and rooftop deck access. A second guest cabin is 384 sf and provides two additional bedrooms, each with their own ensuite bath. The property is serviced by a private well, septic system and solar power with backup generator, offering a comfortable off-grid living experience. With acreage, river frontage and recreation all in one setting, the property lends itself beautifully to use as a private Montana retreat, recreational getaway, a gathering place for family and friends -- or perhaps a flyfishing cabin village business. Approximately 2.5 acres along the river are fenced and include space for group camping, along with a riverside picnic shelter. Located within 25 minutes of Bozeman and only 45 minutes from Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, this distinctive property offers an increasingly difficult-to-find combination of accessibility, privacy, recreation and direct Madison River frontage. From the river corridor to the elevated terrain above, 279 N Beartrap Canyon Road is a uniquely Montana property with the freedom and setting to make it your own.
