Find your home under the grandeur of the ‘big sky’ in Bozeman, Montana; named one of Time Magazine’s “World’s Greatest Places 2023 (https://time.com/6261643/bozeman-mont/) ”. The “new west” lifestyle craved by those pursing outdoor recreation, crisp mountain air, four distinct seasons and short commutes, is certainly reflected in Bozeman’s total population reaching an all-time high of 57,500. Gallatin County’s population has also risen to 127,800.
The outdoor paradise sits in a valley at the foot of six mountain ranges and is just 90 minutes from Yellowstone National Park. In the summer, residents and tourists alike enjoy biking, hiking, rafting, golfing and fly fishing.

The vibrant college/ tech town is considered the epicenter for arts and culture in Montana; with a live music scene, summer festivals in the historic streets of downtown, museums, symphonies and opera.
