Cinnabar Mountain Ranch

Located a short half-hour drive from Yellowstone National Park, escape to the untamed beauty of this recently finished custom log home resting upon 135± pristine deeded acres in the foothills of Electric Peak, the highest point in northern Yellowstone National Park. About a third of a mile of Hoppe Creek runs through the east side of Cinnabar Mountain Ranch. The 3,542± square foot primary residence features three bedrooms, four bathrooms, and an office that could serve as a fourth bedroom. This gorgeous home offers massive views of Montana’s landscapes from floor-to-ceiling windows. Watch moose, elk, bear, deer, and an abundance of other wildlife stroll through the property on the way to or from Yellowstone National Park. Nearby, yet hidden from the main residence, stands a quaint one-bedroom dry cabin. This cabin was constructed in 1964 by Don Stemitz, a descendant of one of the pioneering ranching families that settled the region in the 1800s. A true Montana mountain escape, this property offers the perfect mix of modern amenities and proximity to Gardiner, Montana, the original entrance to Yellowstone National Park, while feeling very private and secluded. While hunting is prohibited inside Yellowstone National Park, it is permitted on the surrounding public/private lands and Gallatin National Forest. The area and this property boast diverse habitats, including lush meadows, dense forests, and rugged mountains. This variety provides ideal conditions for elk, offering them ample food sources, water, and cover throughout the year. This area boasts some of the best elk hunting in Montana, and some say it’s some of the finest elk hunting in the country. Ideal elk country with spectacular scenery in a gorgeous mountain wilderness setting, this area is home to a significant portion of the northern Yellowstone elk herd and migratory herds. Various other big game is available in Yellowstone Country, including moose, black bear, bison, bighorn sheep, mule deer, white-tailed deer, and antelope. Enjoy bird watching for bald and golden eagles, sandhill cranes, and other native and migratory species.
