Here, luxury is not loud. It is found in privacy, access, water, and land. Offered for the first time in more than 25 years, the In-Motion Homestead presents a rare opportunity to own approximately 600 feet (+/-) of private Boulder River frontage near Big Timber, Montana. This desirable stretch of river supports five species of trout and mountain whitefish and includes two islands, adding natural character and habitat. Public river access is located miles away, providing exceptional privacy and limited pressure. Surrounded by expansive working ranches and abundant wildlife, the setting offers a compelling balance of seclusion and openness with unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape. The land provides an ideal canvas for long-term ownership and stewardship along Montana's river corridor. Two existing cabins provide flexibility-use as-is, reimagine, or remove entirely to create a bespoke river estate. The true value lies in the land, water, and setting.
