RECREATION WILDLIFE Elk, grouse, bears, moose, and a variety of other wildlife are known to wander through the property. Nearby public lands offer hunting and wildlifewatching opportunities.

Moose; not taken on property

Head south from the property on Highway 191 to the west entrance of Yellowstone National Park, with access to many more fishing opportunities and even more public land. Elk, bighorn sheep, mule and white-tailed deer, coyotes, wolves, pronghorn antelope, bald and golden eagles, moose, mountain goats, black and grizzly bears, and an array of less obvious but no less remarkable animals find suitable range and habitat in the Park. The variety and populations of rare and endangered wildlife speak to this area’s wildness and unspoiled nature.

FISHING The Gallatin River provides excellent fishing opportunities less than 10 minutes from the property. It holds healthy brown and rainbow trout populations, with some fish reaching up to 10 pounds while the average fish measures around 12-14 inches. Swift riffles and runs broken up by long pools characterize this stretch. Throughout the year, various hatches and terrestrials provide excellent “top water” action on this stretch of the Gallatin. The Gallatin sees many insects hatching throughout the summer, with excellent dry fly fishing from May through July. For the most part, the Gallatin River is relatively small. As a result, float fishing on the Gallatin River from Yellowstone National Park downstream to the confluence with the East Gallatin River is not allowed, a distance of more than 75 miles. Since much of the Gallatin River is closed to float fishing (but not recreational floating), the Gallatin is a dream come true for wade anglers.

The Madison and Yellowstone Rivers are less than 1.5 hours from the property. They are arguably the most famous flyfishing rivers in the world, along with the Gallatin, due to their scenic beauty and incredible numbers and size of wild trout. The Madison, Yellowstone, and Gallatin Rivers are known for their dry fly fishing. Fish in these rivers can exceed 24”. Other rivers within a 2-hour drive from the property are the Jefferson, Ruby, Big Hole, Missouri, and Beaverhead Rivers. Several internationally famed “fee” spring creek fisheries are also nearby. About 1.5 hours to the east in the Paradise Valley along the Yellowstone River, Depuy, Armstrong, and Nelson Spring Creeks attract avid anglers from around the globe. These spring creeks are natural wonders emerging from the ground, with a large volume of nutrientrich water providing for an enormous amount of aquatic life, including an abundance of wild trout. Fishing conditions on these creeks are consistently excellent, even through winter.

A little over 1.5 hours of travel time will put you into the Henry’s Fork watershed in Idaho or the center of Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone National Park is the birthplace of many of the finest trout rivers in the West. Headwater streams, such as the Gibbon, Firehole, and Lamar, create rivers such as the Madison and Gallatin within its boundaries.

The park hosts many fishing opportunities, with over a hundred lakes and a thousand miles of streams. Nowhere in the world are so many public rivers and streams found within such a small area.

WINTER RECREATION Big Sky Resort offers 5,850 skiable acres and 4,350 vertical feet, with a brand-new tram to Lone Peak.

Bridger Bowl Ski Area, an hour and 20± minutes from the property, is a tremendous asset to the Bozeman community. Considered “Bozeman’s resort,” Bridger Bowl offers an intimate atmosphere where tickets are affordable, lift lines are short, and the skiing is fantastic.

Eight lifts service 2,000 skiable acres with a 2,600-foot vertical drop.

LOCATION Just 15± minutes from the property, Big Sky Town Center sits high in the Rocky Mountains of southwest Montana.

Within the resort community of Big Sky (population 2,900±), the Town Center is centrally located about 7 miles below Lone Mountain and at the corner of Ousel Falls Road and Lone Mountain Trail. Spectacular 11,000± foot snow-capped peaks surround the 600± acre walking village. Although the slopes look close enough to touch, they are a few thousand feet above the shops and homes, providing a milder climate with mountain access just minutes away. Amenities in the Town Center include hotels, restaurants, bars, a movie theater, an ice-skating rink, a medical clinic, and more. Music in the Mountains hosts free outdoor concerts in the Town Center Park in the summer.

Wapati Point is about 50 minutes from Bozeman (population 58,000±), home to Montana State University and the Museum of the Rockies. Bozeman has received national accolades for its scenic location, limitless outdoor activities, and historic downtown. Bozeman has become a favorite place for those who love outdoor recreation—whether fishing, hunting, skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, or hiking.

GETTING THERE Less than an hour from the property and just outside of the town of Bozeman is Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, served by Alaska, Allegiant, American, Avelo, Delta, Jetblue, Southwest, Sun Country, and United Airlines, with direct flights to and from many cities (www.bozemanairport.com).

RELATIONSHIPS IN REAL ESTATE As required by Montana law, a broker or salesperson shall disclose the existence and nature of relevant agency or other relationships to the parties to a real estate transaction. The various relationships and description of duties are as follows: 1. SELLER AGENT A “Seller Agent” is obligated to the Seller to: Act solely in the best interests of the seller; Obey promptly and efficiently all lawful instructions of the seller; Disclose all relevant and material information that concerns the real estate transaction and that is known to the seller agent and not known or discoverable by the seller unless the information is subject to confidentiality arising from a prior or existing agency relationship on the part of the seller agent; Safeguard the seller’s confidences; Exercise reasonable care, skill, and diligence in pursuing the seller’s objectives and in complying with the terms established in the listing agreement; Fully account to the seller for any funds or property of the seller that comes into the seller agent’s possession; and Comply with all applicable federal and state laws, rules, and regulations.

Montana law permits a real estate agent, after providing written disclosure to a seller and obtaining a seller’s written consent, to represent multiple sellers of property and to list properties for sale that may compete with the seller’s property, without breaching any obligation to the seller.

A “Seller Agent” is obligated to the Buyer to: Disclose to a buyer or the buyer agent any adverse material facts that concern the property and that are known to the seller agent, except that the seller agent is not required to inspect the property or verify any statements made by the seller; Disclose to a buyer or the buyer agent when the seller agent has no personal knowledge of the veracity of information regarding adverse material facts that concern the property; Act in good faith with a buyer and a buyer agent; and Comply with all applicable federal and state laws, rules, and regulations.

3. DUAL AGENCY If a seller agent is also representing a buyer, or a buyer agent is also representing a seller with regard to a property, then a dual agency relationship may be established. In a dual agency relationship, the dual agent is equally obligated to both the seller and the buyer. These obligations may prohibit the dual agent from advocating exclusively on behalf of the seller or buyer and may limit the depth and degree of representation that you receive. A broker or a salesperson may not act as a dual agent without the signed, written consent of both the seller and the buyer.

A “Dual Agent” is obligated to a Seller in the same manner as a seller agent and is obligated to a Buyer in the same manner as a buyer agent,

except a dual agent: Has a duty to disclose to a buyer or seller any adverse material facts that are known to the dual agent regardless of any confidentiality considerations; and May not disclose the following information without the written consent of the person to whom the information is confidential; The fact that the buyer is willing to pay more than the offered purchase price; The fact that the seller is willing to accept less than the purchase price that the seller is asking for the property; Factors motivating either party to buy or sell; and Any information that a party indicates in writing to the dual agent is to be kept confidential.

4. STATUTORY BROKER A “Statutory Broker” is not the agent of the Buyer or Seller but nevertheless is obligated to them to: Disclose to: i. a buyer or buyer agent any adverse material facts that concern the property and that are known to the statutory broker, except that the statutory broker is not required to inspect the property or verify any statements made by the seller; and ii. a seller or a seller agent any adverse material facts that are known to the statutory broker and that concern the ability of the buyer to perform on any purchase offer; Exercise reasonable care, skill, and diligence in putting together a real estate transaction, and Comply with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations.

5. IN-HOUSE SELLER AGENT DESIGNATE Created when the agency holds both the listing on a property from the seller and a buyer broker agreement with the buyer, an in-house seller agent designate is a broker or salesperson employed by or associated as an independent contractor with a broker and designated by the broker as the exclusive agent for a seller for a designated transaction and who may not be considered to be acting for other than the seller with respect to the designated transaction.

6. IN-HOUSE BUYER AGENT DESIGNATE Created when the agency holds both the listing on a property from the seller and a buyer broker agreement with the buyer, an in-house buyer agent designate is a broker or salesperson employed by or associated as an independent contractor with a broker and designated by the broker as the exclusive agent for a buyer for a designated transaction and who may not be considered to be acting for other than the buyer with respect to the designated transaction.

BUYER AGENT A “Buyer Agent” is obligated to the Buyer to: Act solely in the best interests of the buyer; Obey promptly and efficiently all lawful instructions of the buyer; Disclose all relevant and material information that concerns the real estate transaction and that is known to the buyer agent and not known or discoverable by the buyer, unless the information is subject to confidentiality arising from a prior or existing agency relationship on the part of the buyer agent; Safeguard the buyer’s confidences; Exercise reasonable care, skill, and diligence in pursuing the buyer’s objectives and in complying with the terms established in the listing agreement; Fully account to the buyer for any funds or property of the buyer that comes into the buyer agent’s possession; and Comply with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations.

Montana law permits a real estate agent, after providing written disclosure to a buyer and obtaining a buyer’s written consent, to represent multiple buyers interested in buying the same property or similar properties to properties in which a buyer is interested and to show properties in which a buyer is interested to other prospective buyers, without breaching any obligation to the buyer.
