There are properties that claim access to the outdoors, and then there are properties that actually deliver it.
1903 Mount Ellis Lane falls firmly in the second category.
Set on 119± acres in Bozeman’s highly sought-after southeast corridor, this land directly borders state land that then sits right next to Gallatin National Forest. In real terms, that means stepping out your door and heading straight into the mountains. No trailhead parking. No loading the car. No commute to recreational activity.
In the winter months, this property shines. Snow blankets the open ground, the air is quiet, and the landscape becomes your personal playground. Cross country skiing. Snowshoeing. Winter hikes with uninterrupted views of the valley floor and surrounding mountain ranges. The kind of daily access that most people only experience on vacation is simply part of life here.
Despite the seclusion and scale, you are still just minutes from Bozeman. That balance is what makes this corridor so tightly held and so rarely available.

Land That’s Ready and Unrestricted
The property is zoned Agricultural and Rural Residential and is free of covenants and conservation easements. The groundwork is already in place for future plans, including perimeter fencing, an installed driveway, electric pulled to the build site, and an excavated pond.
An older farmhouse currently houses a long-term renter, offering interim income and flexibility while you plan what comes next. This is land you can hold, improve, and grow into over time rather than being forced into immediate decisions.
A Proven Vision for a Legacy Build
For those who want to move from possibility to execution, thoughtfully designed plans by Locati Architects are available and negotiable with the sale. The plans include a main residence and shop and reflect the level of architecture typically reserved for high-value legacy estates in Montana.
The renderings provide clarity without forcing a commitment. Build now. Build later. Or hold the land as an appreciating asset with a clear architectural roadmap already in place.
A Rare Combination in Southeast Bozeman
Properties of this size, with this level of privacy, direct public land adjacency, no restrictive encumbrances, and immediate proximity to town are increasingly difficult to find. Add winter recreation from your own boundary and a refined architectural vision, and the opportunity becomes even more compelling.
1903 Mount Ellis Lane is not just land. It is access, flexibility, and a long term foothold in one of Bozeman’s most desirable settings.
