Property Description

Set on 140± acres of open rangeland northwest of Belgrade, Hidden Spring Hills offers a rare chance to own a vast and unspoiled piece of the Gallatin Valley—an increasingly scarce opportunity in a region undergoing rapid development. This land is the main event: wide horizons, unobstructed mountain views, and a quiet that speaks to what Montana once was. Minimal covenants. No HOA. No commercial encroachment. Just space, sky, and possibility. Beautiful rolling acreage with water rights (a 350 gpm irrigation well stands ready for a future owner to put water to work) and southern exposures offers pasture land for horses and livestock as well as space for all of your recreational needs– horseback riding through sunlit meadows, hiking hidden trails, sledding down snow-covered hills, cross-country skiing, or quietly observing the rhythm of wildlife in every season. Develop your own trails or follow the game trails that take you past distinctive rock outcrops, a small hidden natural spring, ravines and meadows sheltering wildlife, birds, flowers, and native grasses. At the heart of the parcel stands the historic Quaw Mansion– a Queen Anne landmark built in 1892 and relocated here decades ago as part of a preservation effort. The structure has been stripped to the studs and has roughed in plumbing and electrical. Its architectural bones and period details remain, waiting for a future owner to restore its legacy or reimagine its footprint. A fully finished walk-out basement provides comfortable living quarters while plans for the upper levels take shape. A detached 40'×40' shop adds valuable space for equipment, toys, or staging a renovation. Indulge in blue-ribbon fishing on the East Gallatin River, just three minutes away, or plan an adventure into the nearby Gallatin National Forest, offering big game hunting and camping. From the homesite, take in spectacular views overlooking the East Gallatin and the rural farms and ranches that sweep outward to meet the majesty of five surrounding mountain ranges. With its scale, privacy, water, wildlife, and storied past, this property is ideal for someone seeking solitude, long views, and a tangible connection to the valley’s heritage—before the subdivisions, before the traffic, before the sprawl. Whether preserved, rebuilt, or redefined, the land speaks for itself.
