Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Manhattan, Montana
500 Prickly Pear Rd, Manhattan, MT 59741
Tucked away at the very end of the road, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom mountain modern retreat offers the rare kind of privacy that lets you truly unplug. Spanning 3,456 square feet and anchored by a 3-car garage, the home features recent updates that bring clean, contemporary design together with effortless comfort. Set high above the valley with very little road traffic, the property stays remarkably clean and dust free, a rarity among area ranch homes, and the elevated, end of road setting means total quiet and privacy. This is a newish build that's truly move in ready: new appliances throughout and nothing left to update or repair. It's also incredibly low maintenance, a true lock up and go property, and exceptionally well insulated, staying warm through Montana winters and cool in the summer heat. Outside, life centers around the Montana elements: sip morning coffee as the sun rises, unwind in the hot tub or sauna, tend to the raised garden beds, and gather around the fire pit for world class stargazing. Hike the ridge right behind the house for sweeping views across the valley, with the Tobacco Roots and Bridger Mountains on full display. Unlike many nearby listings tucked into low ground, this home's elevated position means real, unobstructed views. Beyond your private boundary, adventure is right at your doorstep. The property borders state land, offering excellent hunting and hiking access, along with private neighborhood access to the Gallatin River for endless fishing and floating, plus trail access for hiking, biking, and riding. Winter brings quick access to major ski hills, while the everyday conveniences, dining, and culture of Manhattan and Bozeman, plus the international airport, are just a short drive away.
