Big Sky Montana Resort Living

Elk Horn Ranch offers luxury and an authentic Western experience, amidst the unparalleled beauty of Big Sky Montana.  Spread across a staggering 160 acres, the ranch provides a bounty of open space for horseback riding and expansive views of the Montana wilderness.  Set along the western edge of the Yellowstone Club, the ranch enjoys views of the Spanish Peaks, Gallatin Range, Pioneer Mountain and Lone Peak.  A hiking trail crosses the entrance to the ranch and connects to a large network of trails that wind through the Yellowstone Club.  The ranch and its four included buildings, are perfect for the outdoor-loving family, with abundant recreation options for every season; from downhill skiing,  snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the winter months, to fly fishing, kayaking, tubing, hiking, biking and equestrian activities in the summer months.

A short drive from the entry arch leads to the well-appointed residence.  With its six bedrooms (plus loft) and a detached garage with an apartment, the residence has ample rooms for family and guests. A radiant walkway leads to the main entry, where guests are welcomed into the spacious living room, with its vaulted ceilings and grandiose views of Lone Peak.  The living room opens to a large deck, ideal for enjoying calm summer evenings.  Just off the living room,  the kitchen features rich wood cabinetry, upscale appliances, and casual seating options at a bar-height counter.  The walkthrough kitchen yields to the entertaining-ready bar area, which connects to the living room.   Also on the main level, a bedroom with a full bath and fireplace, a dining room with amazing mountain views, a powder room and an outdoor hot tub.

The impressive main residence offers two additional levels of living space. Upstairs are two more bedrooms, two bathrooms and an office.  The top floor loft has a clear view of the ground floor,  giving this area an especially open feel, and offers additional space to relax and enjoy the views.  The lower level also has two bedrooms, each with a full bath, plus a large family room, a sauna and laundry room.  A detached garage provides parking for two cars, plus additional living quarters over the garage.  The large living room over the garage has an open design with a sleeping loft and full bathroom.

With its four-stall barn, Elk Horn Ranch is ready for horses.  Designed to high standards, this barn adds to the appeal of the property and will suit the most discerning equestrian.  The barn is located just a short walk from the main residence.  It also features a large recreation room above the garage, with a large t.v., small kitchen, extra bathrooms and pool table, and offers plenty of storage space.  A nearby cabin, the Wrangler cabin, offers comfortable but simple accommodations for guests.  With its covered porch, open room with western furniture and adjacent bathroom and kitchenette, this cabin harkens back to the one-room cabins that dot Montana’s landscape.

All of the buildings on the ranch are designed by Kirk Michaels of Livingston, Montana.  Every detail has been carefully constructed and meets the high design standards of the Yellowstone Club.  The rustic wood finishes of the structure fit perfectly with the wilderness setting of the ranch, and the upscale touches mean that even the most modern family will feel at home here.  Elk Horn Ranch has it all; a mountain setting, beautiful views, minutes away from golfing or skiing, nearby amenities of the Warren Miller Lodge, quiet seclusion, and room for large family gatherings.

As a resident of the Yellowstone community, enjoy exclusive access to the world class amenities of the club.  Dine at any one of the 7 restaurants, where premier chefs masterfully prepare  authentic Montana cuisine with locally sourced wild game as well as classic club fare.  When not enjoying the multitude of outdoor pursuits, stay active at the state-of-the art Health & Wellness Center.  The facilities include several spas, a collection of cardio and strength training equipment, a 75-foot heated pool, tennis and platform tennis courts, basketball courts, yoga, personal training and therapeutic massage. Yellowstone also  offers a full compliment of shopping options at Yellowstone Outfitters, including technical ski apparel, winter fashion attire, children’s clothing, accessories and gifts.

Year round, Elk Horn Ranch at Yellowstone offers an exclusive, outdoor lifestyle experience, unrivaled by none.
