Unique property minutes from the skiing, restaurants and services of Big Sky with fly-fishing and hiking the Gallatin National Forest outside the door. Owners received special

permission from Forest Service to replace dilapidated hunting shack from 1940s. The replacement home was designed by Clark Llewelyn (then the dean of the MSU School of

Architecture) and was built in 2002 by Big Sky Build (highly reputable local builder).

Situated on a bend in Porcupine Trail with gurgling Porcupine Creek on two sides. Trail is popular with hikers and horses but cabin privacy provided by back deck and screened

porch overlooking creek and is surrounded by prairie grasses and wildflowers. Road from 191 and Porcupine Trail maintained by Forest Service and county. Locked gate between trailhead and trail is only accessible to owner and FS personnel. Parking space available outside cabin fence for cabin owner and guests may be used for loading purposes, but overnight and/or long-term parking is located nearby at the trailhead. Designed for low

maintenance with Cor-Ten Steel roof and features rustic style and modern conveniences including high-speed DSL service. Fully enclosed septic system with four connected

1000-gallon tanks to protect water quality of creek (pumping needed about once a year depending on usage). A private well was dug in 2002 and they installed a water treatment system to ensure delicious taste and quality. There is propane forced-air in addition to a woodstove and eletric baseboards. There is a full security system including connection to septic to mitigate concerns about owning from afar. Alpine Property Management’s
