Big Sky Ranch Properties: Expansive Acreage and Legacy Living

When people dream of Montana, they often picture wide-open spaces, rolling ridgelines, mountain views, and room to roam. That vision is exactly what you’ll find with Big Sky ranch properties—large acreage parcels starting at 100+ acres that combine privacy, natural beauty, and the opportunity to create a true legacy estate.

Big Sky Acreage: From 20 Acres to 100+

Throughout the greater Big Sky area, there are many opportunities to purchase 20–40 acre parcels. These properties provide excellent privacy, stunning views, and space for horses or guest homes, making them attractive to buyers who want room to spread out without managing a full ranch.

But for those who want truly expansive ranch properties—the kind that define the Big Sky dream—you’ll need to look to Big Sky’s premier large-acreage neighborhoods. These rare opportunities begin at 100+ acres, offering unmatched elbow room and the ability to build a family estate that lasts generations.

Gallatin Preserve: Ranch Living with SPMC Membership

The Gallatin Preserve is one of Big Sky’s most exclusive large-acreage, gated enclaves. Here, 100+ acre parcels provide unmatched seclusion amid rolling meadows, timbered ridgelines, and mountain vistas. Yet, unlike a remote ranch hours from town, Gallatin Preserve keeps you just minutes from Big Sky’s Town Center and Spanish Peaks Mountain Club conveniences.

Ownership also comes with Spanish Peaks Mountain Club membership, giving you private ski access to Big Sky Resort, the Tom Weiskopf–designed golf courses, and a full suite of dining, social, and recreational amenities. This blend of raw Montana landscape with luxury club access makes Gallatin Preserve uniquely valuable—an investment in both lifestyle and legacy.

Moonlight Territories: Privacy with Moonlight Basin Membership

On the north side of Big Sky, the Moonlight Territories offer ranch-scale properties with direct access to some of the area’s most iconic terrain. Located off of a gated road, these parcels stretch across sweeping alpine meadows and forested slopes with unbroken views of Lone Peak, Cedar Mountain, and the wild Madison Range.

These properties include Moonlight Basin membership, which opens the door to the golf courses, clubhouses, the expansive lift network of Big Sky Resort, endless trails for hiking, biking, and cross country skiing as well as curated year-round programming. It’s a rare opportunity to own hundreds of acres of private land while still enjoying the advantages of a world-class ski and golf community.

Why Buy Big Sky Ranch Properties?

• Elbow Room: With 100+ acres, there’s space to live the Montana lifestyle—horses, trails, ponds, views, or simply wide-open privacy.

• Legacy Value: Large parcels are ideal for legacy estates meant to last generations.

• Limited Supply: While 20–40 acre properties are scattered throughout Big Sky, true ranch-scale parcels are few and far between.

• Membership Benefits: Both Gallatin Preserve and Moonlight Territories combine expansive land ownership with private club privileges, making them uniquely valuable in the market.

• Finite Opportunity: They’re not making any more land. As development continues and demand grows, these ranch-scale parcels become more rare—and more desirable.

A Rare Opportunity in Big Sky

As Big Sky continues to evolve, large-acreage parcels remain some of the most exclusive and sought-after pieces of real estate. With limited supply, lasting legacy value, and membership opportunities that connect owners to world-class skiing and golf, these ranch properties stand apart from anything else available. This is truly a unique opportunity.
