Fronting on the exclusive East Gallatin River, one of the finest small water fisheries in the region, the East Gallatin River Preserve home was completed in 2023 by Yellowstone Traditions and offers more than 5,500 square feet of living space. The exterior features a combination of stone, wood, mortar, steel, and glass in a modern mountain style. High-end finishes give it a clean, refined look. Outdoor features include covered patios and a built-in BBQ area with clear expansive views of the Bridger Mountains. Inside, the main level begins with a foyer that opens into a large great room with a stone fireplace as the focal point. The great room, dining area, and kitchen share a bright, open layout with vaulted ceilings and large windows looking directly at the Bridger Mountain Range. The kitchen includes a dining island, Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, two farmhouse sinks, and a separate butler’s pantry for additional prep space and storage.
The master suite faces the river and includes dual walk-in closets, double vanities and water closets both indoor and outdoor showers, and a private connection to an exercise room and a second office (convertible to additional bedrooms) overlooking a neighboring pond. Two en-suite guest bedrooms are also located on the main level, along with a beautiful powder room, two full bathrooms, and a half bath. The home includes a spacious four-car attached garage. Above the garage, there’s a vaulted bonus room that can be used as a game room, office, or extra bedroom. This space also includes a half bath and commanding views of the Bridgers.
River Keep offers direct, private access right out the back door to 0.4 miles of the most productive stretches of the East Gallatin River. More than just river frontage, the river here shapes the entire character of the property. Mature cottonwoods and native grasses frame the overall landscape, while the steady sound of moving water adds to the property’s quiet, secluded feel. Wildlife is abundant, with whitetail deer, pheasants, ducks, and even an occasional moose frequenting the area. The East Gallatin River is one of southwest Montana’s best-kept secrets for fly fishing. Much of the East Gallatin River flows through private land, meaning public access is limited. This restricted access keeps angler pressure low and fishing quality high. Despite its peaceful atmosphere, River Keep is just minutes from Bozeman, offering rare river access while not sacrificing everyday convenience.
