Stunning Cree Lake frontage and Swan Range views on this 1.08-acre parcel in private Many Lakes. Community park borders two sides for added privacy and space.

Set along Gallatin Road minutes from Big Sky, this parcel of just over two and a half acres is defined by a spring creek winding through natural mountain terrain. Though the road is never far, the water and the cover of the trees give the land a quiet of its own. Across the 2.64 acres, the value is in the land itself: a home placed above the floodplain, oriented toward the water, with the trees and terrain left largely as they are. Existing structures could be a project for the right buyer, though the setting makes a strong case for new construction. A well and a septic holding tank permitted for seasonal use provide a starting point, while permanent residential use or new construction would likely call for improvements, giving a buyer the chance to plan the site from the ground up. Residential zoning allows for anything from a seasonal retreat to a year-round residence with the appropriate permitting, subject to Gallatin County regulations and review. The skiing of Big Sky Resort, the trails of the Gallatin National Forest, and the blue-ribbon trout water of the Gallatin River are all within easy reach. Farther afield, Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport is about an hour north and Yellowstone National Park about an hour south. The setting is already established, and the home is left for the next owner to imagine.
