Welcome to Big Sky

Big Sky is one of the Rocky Mountain North and Montana's foremost winter travel destinations for Alpine and Nordic skiing, and a summer destination for Blue Ribbon trout fishing, mountain biking, hiking, rafting, canoeing, golf, trail riding and other mountain based outdoor recreation.

Surrounded by the Gallatin National Forest, and nestled between over 250,000 acres of Wilderness on both the Northern and Southern borders, Big Sky is located midway between Bozeman and West Yellowstone, Montana, just a short drive to Yellowstone National Park and the wonders of the greater Yellowstone ecosystem. Elevations range from 6000 feet above sea level in the Canyon, to 6500 feet above sea level in the Meadow Area all the way to the Peak of Lone Mountain at 11,166 ft.

Summer recreation offerings in Big Sky are many and varied. In the Mountain Village area, the Resort offers 40 miles of mountain bike accessible trails during the summer as well as hiking, zip-line tours and water sports on Lake Levinski. In the Meadow area, golf is available, as well as mountain bike and hiking trails, white water rafting, fly fishing, horseback trail riding, climbing, and a host of summertime actives for the family.

Summertime in Big Sky provides the perfect backdrop for family time, alone time or anytime in between. With comfortable temperatures, low humidity, long, sunny days, cool nights, unobstructed views of the night sky, what’s not to like?

Home base to two outstanding world-class ski resorts, the Big Sky Ski and Summer Resort and Lone Mountain Ranch. The Big Sky Ski and Summer Resort offers 5,850 aces of skiable Alpine terrain offering 317 runs accessed by 36 lifts, including the Lone Peak Tram to the 11,166 ft. top of Lone Peak, from where you can look down on Jackson Hole’s Rendezvous Peak at 10,927 ft.

Lone Mountain Ranch maintains 45 miles of groomed Nordic ski trails, hiking and horseback trail, an Orvis Fly fishing Shop, guest cabins, saloon and restaurant.

The Big Sky area is also ideally located for easy access to both the Gallatin and Madison Rivers, where Blue Ribbon trout fishing awaits anglers and novices alike. Or enjoy the thrill of a scenic or Class II-IV white water rafting voyage on the Gallatin River, right here in your back yard.

Numerous restaurants and bars, summer concerts, weekly farmers market, the wonderful new BASE Community Center with indoor basketball/pickle ball/climbing wall/exercise and meeting rooms are available own the Meadow area.

The main attraction, and the reason that adventurers and travelers have been flocking to Big Sky for over 45 years, remains unchanged: the exceptional, expansive, unmatched natural beauty and world class access to all of the wonders that are available in this area.

The Big Sky real estate market includes Ski in Ski out properties in Cascade, Moonlight and Spanish Peaks Mountain Clubs, as well as the Yellowstone Club. Neighborhoods in the Meadow area include the original Meadow Village, as well as Southfork, Town Center, Westfork, and Aspen Groves.

The Big Sky real estate market offers something for everyone, from majestic estate properties to well-maintained condominiums, single family homes, vacant land and golf course adjacent properties. We know them all, and can help you narrow down the field to properties that fit your needs and circumstances, and our decades of experience will guide you through the process.

We’ve lived in Big Sky full time since 1993, raised three wonderful kids, and have participated in its growth, hiked the trails, skied the XC and Alpine runs, enjoyed the restaurants and activities and serve on many boards and community initiatives.

While some folks might say there is a “Best time of year to visit”, we’ve lived here for three decades and can attest to the fact that anytime is the best time to be in Big Sky!
