100 Horsetail Lane - Unrivaled Bozeman, Montana Estate

Property Description

This stunning estate sets a new standard for luxury living in Gallatin Valley. The fenced and gated 20 acres is a playground for all ages. A lake and upper pond, connected with a waterfall, both stocked with rainbow trout, is the property’s centerpiece. Two docks and a lake pavilion designed for entertaining add to potential fun and games. Backyard patios, sweeping lawns, a meandering creek, forested berms, and well-planned flower beds invite you to be outdoors enjoying the 360 degree views and absolute privacy.

The home, designed by Van Bryan and built by BJS construction, is a masterpiece in which no luxury or detail has been spared. The entry driveway circles to the front door, located under a Porte cache. You step into a grand foyer with a floating spiral staircase, marble floors, Venetian plaster walls, and soaring ceilings. Extensive stonework, in warm earthy tones, graces both the interior and exterior of the home. The stone wall in the foyer wraps into the palatial living room with 22 foot high timbered ceilings, two fireplaces, an alcove for a grand piano, travertine columns, wide-planked walnut floors, an open second-floor balcony, and a dry bar.

A see-through fireplace joins the living room to the lush-wood library, complete with a traditional rolling ladder. Cozy and intimate, this is the perfect place to curl up on a sofa with a book or watch the flat-screen TV over the fire mantle. An office with Bridger Mountain views and built-in custom cabinetry is directly off the library, as is the master suite. His and her walk-in closets, his and her bathrooms with vanities, beautifully tiled shower and bath, and glorious views make this special. The master overlooks the lake and walks out to the patios.

The dining room opens to both the living room and kitchen, and has a bank of windows and a door to the lake and patios. The kitchen evokes Old World charm while being state-of-the-art. Accented in Provincial blue, with custom cabinetry, a Turbo chef wall oven, a French Cornue range, 2 Sub Zero refrigerators, a Sub Zero freezer and Wine Cooler, ice machine, 2 dishwashers, a butlery with a dumb waiter, and a breakfast area / sitting room with fireplace, this is the hub of the home. Double French doors open to the stone and timbered, rustic-yet-elegant, outdoor kitchen, which includes a fireplace, a commercial grade, wood fired Italian pizza oven, remote controlled screen doors, and a large grilling station with commercial exhaust system. Behind the kitchen area is a custom, in-ground hot tub.

A second bedroom suite is located on the main floor. It is handicap accessible, with a private walled terrace and entry direct from a parking bay. This room could serve as a second master suite as it is spacious and dramatic with reclaimed timbered ceiling.

The main floor also includes one of the two laundry rooms in the home, a “Flower Room” that has a commercial refrigerator, sink, and area set up for arranging flowers, a well-designed mud room, a full bath by the sauna, and a powder room.

There are two staircases leading to the upper floor. At the top of the spiral staircase, above the Porte cache, is an office that is reminiscent of a tree house due to its bank of windows with tremendous views. It could be made into an additional bedroom as it has a full bath and closet space.

Above the living room, in the upper hallway, is a small library niche and viewing balcony. There are three bedrooms upstairs, each with private baths, ample closets, views, and distinct personalities. Two of them are suites, with one having a private balcony overlooking the lake. A laundry room services this floor.

A rec room and home theater are tucked at the back of the second floor, over the garage. The area includes a bar/kitchen, cork flooring, a half bath, and space generous enough for both a ping pong and pool table. This indoor play area is situated so that noise will never interfere with the rest of the house.

The finished basement area has 9 foot ceilings, stained concrete floors, solid wood doors that match the rest of the home, and rooms to store everything. There is an exercise/ home gym with rubber floors for working out, a climate-controlled wine cellar, a vault with a bank-safe door, a gift wrapping room, cedar closet, dish storage room with sink and the dumb waiter that connects to the butlery and to the second floor, a tool room, and walls of shelving.

The home is state-of-the-art with radiant floor heating, air conditioning, security and sound systems. There are 4 wells, sprinklers, out door lighting, and electronic gates. Every person involved in creating this estate considers it to be the culmination of their career. It is a Montana masterpiece that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.
