About this House
LOCATED ON THE EAST BANK OF THE MAJESTIC YELLOWSTONE RIVER less than 30 miles South of Livingston, MT and 25+/- miles to the North Entrance of Yellowstone National Park at Gardiner, MT rests this beautifully designed custom one level 4 bedroom, 3 bath home with an oversized attached 3 car garage and wrap around deck. The open floor plan is anchored with an attractive gas fireplace, hardwood floors and large windows throughout that make the river and the surrounding mountain views the main focus. The 20+ acres are divided by East River Road providing a nice spot for a guest house or support buildings on the East side. On the West side, the home is gently tucked beneath a hill shielding it from the road. The 600+/- feet of river frontage is an angler’s delight providing unfettered access to fishing on the last undammed river in the lower 48 states. Two long riffle runs adjoin the property’s river bank and provide unlimited opportunities to tempt wily Yellowstone River trout. The current owners named their river front home the “Caddis Shack” after one of the Yellowstone’s legendary insect hatches. The river also encourages a robust wildlife habitat for viewing. This area of Montana provides endless opportunities for recreation, fine dining and entertainment.
