Bridger Foothills: Accelerating Construction Timelines for a New Owner

By Ryan Bramlette | (406) 580-9569 | rbramlette@fayranches.com

We’re fortunate to boast world-class construction and design talent right here in the Gallatin Valley. From renowned architects to sophisticated general contractors and tasteful interior designers, buyers from around the globe have access to exceptional expertise. However, this luxury often comes with a lengthy timeline—from purchasing land to initiating infrastructure, engaging architects, and beginning construction. It’s not uncommon for this process to span 36 to 48 months.

Recognizing the challenges new buyers face and the overwhelming nature of embarking on a new project—especially for absentee buyers—the owner of the Bridger Foothills property has shown remarkable foresight. They’ve proactively addressed these challenges by constructing roads, establishing power connections, and collaborating with architects to provide renderings, tapping into the designer’s vision for the property’s potential.

While such preparations might be expected for a one-acre lot in a subdivision, they’re not typical for a 342± acre parcel of vacant land along the Bridger Mountains. The existing road and power infrastructure, along with the architect’s involvement, offer significant advantages that streamline the buying process and amplify the property’s appeal. Here are a few compelling reasons why this approach is advantageous:

• Immediate Accessibility and Convenience: Properties with existing road access and power supply are instantly accessible, making them more convenient for various purposes. Whether for residential or recreational use, having these amenities readily available eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming infrastructure development, allowing buyers to proceed with their plans promptly.
• Reduced Development Costs and Timelines: Developing roads and installing power infrastructure can be costly and time-intensive. By purchasing a property with these components already in place, buyers can save both time and money on development expenses. This accelerates the project’s timeline, enabling buyers to realize the benefits of their investment sooner.
• Architectural Expertise and Vision: Having an architect ready to go allows buyers to swiftly dive into conceptualizing and mapping out their development schemes, optimizing the property’s potential from the outset. In the Gallatin Valley, starting a project from scratch often entails a frustratingly long timeline before collaborating with an architect and commencing construction. Thus, having an architect on standby is a tremendous asset.

In summary, purchasing a property with existing roads and power infrastructure, coupled with an available architect’s expertise, offers numerous benefits for buyers. From cost savings and expedited timelines to enhanced property value and streamlined due diligence, this approach provides a strategic advantage for those looking to invest in vacant land and turn their dream into reality in a less stressful and more efficient fashion.
