Property Overview
The East Gallatin Riverbend is an exceptional sporting property that blends recreational richness, thoughtful land stewardship, and architectural potential. Located within the exclusive Oxbö Preserve, which encompasses 220± deeded acres, and includes more than 1.5 miles (both sides) of the East Gallatin River, an outstanding wild trout fishery in Southwest Montana. Sweeping views of the Bridger Mountains, a 1.3± acre pond, extensive landscaping, and robust wildlife populations provide a visual feast for a future owner throughout the seasons.
Well-considered wildlife enhancement and stream restoration efforts have transformed the property into a genuine conservation success story, improving habitat quality and the health of the river corridor. These ongoing projects reflect a thoughtful approach to land management that prioritizes both recreational enjoyment and the long-term preservation of the property’s natural resources. The project was originally envisioned by renowned local architect and accomplished sportsman, Jerry Locati, and could easily be considered the pièce de résistance of his remarkable body of work.
Private roads and trails wind throughout the Oxbö Preserve, providing convenient access to all corners of the property, while the majority of the land is farmed and maintained specifically to promote healthy wildlife populations. The lush riparian corridors throughout the property support a remarkably diverse ecosystem of plants and animals, making Oxbö a sanctuary for pheasants, deer, waterfowl, and more.
Beyond its recreational appeal, the East Gallatin Riverbend represents a perfect blank canvas for its future owner. A designated five-acre building envelope sits adjacent to a pond, providing an ideal setting for a primary residence, guest home, and associated outbuildings, subject to applicable guidelines and approvals. The location adds further appeal: situated just 10 minutes from downtown Bozeman and the Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, life on this special slice of Oxbö offers a combination of genuine seclusion and effortless access that has become all but impossible to find in the Gallatin Valley.
This offering is for the sale of a one-third ownership interest in the LLC/community.
