BORDERS FOREST SERVICE - Set above Ferrell Lake in the quiet Grizzly Meadows area, this log home offers the best of Montana self-sufficiency, and connection to nature. Built in 1999 and resting on 20+/- acres, the property offers unique value in self-sustainability as it is 100% powered by wind and solar energy. The 1,612-square-foot layout (not including loft) includes one bedroom and one full bathroom, with both front and back porches framing sweeping panoramic views of the Gallatin Mountains. A year-round creek meanders through the lower portion of the acreage, forming a natural wildlife corridor frequented by moose, bear, elk, deer and all other seasonal wildlife migrating from Yellowstone National Park whose grand entrance through the Roosevelt Arch is just 30 minutes away. With approximately 2,000 feet bordering Forest Service land, the property offers immediate access to public Forest Service, ideal for hiking, hunting, and opportunities to get in touch with nature. An 800-square-foot metal- sided pole barn, constructed in 2009, adds practical utility for vehicle storage or equipment needs. When you are in need of shopping or a night out, Emigrant lies just 40 minutes away where you will find Chico Hot Springs, fine dining at Sage Lodge, and lively summer concerts at the historic Old Saloon. Gardiner offers additional shopping, dining and opportunities for adventure at Yellowstone Raft Company, Montana Whitewater, and Flying Pig Adventures. Livingston with its cultural appeal is approximately an hour away while the trip to Bozeman will take 90 minutes. For those drawn to the quiet calm environment of solitude and self-sufficiency, this property offers rare opportunity for energy independence, unfiltered beauty, and proximity to one of the most iconic landscapes in the American West.
