Porcupine Creek Homestead is made up of 116+/- acres located in the coveted Shields River Valley east of the small town of Wilsall and an hour from Bozeman. The property is a blend of cottonwood and aspen grove riparian areas bifurcated by small flowing springs, two ponds, and valley views that encompass the Crazy Mountains to the east and the Bridger Range to the west. Once owned by a prominent Livingston banker, he built the historic Victorian-style home, which became the centerpiece of the property. In 2005, a restoration project began, and the house was effectively recreated to its exact dimensions and vernacular. This small two-bedroom one-and-a-half bath was masterfully re-created and appointed in a charming way. A six-stall horse barn was added near the residence with a large two-bedroom apartment that lofts overhead and sits next to a spacious two-car garage. Several years ago, a large trout pond was created for aesthetic and recreational purposes with a secondary primary building site in mind. The property is well-kept, and the hayfield is managed appropriately to produce forage crops and attract the multitude of wildlife that exists there, including whitetail deer and moose. Porcupine Creek Homestead is an easy-to-own property with nicely appointed improvements in proximity to Bozeman, Livingston, skiing, and the lively aspects of these desirable mountain communities, yet far enough away to find solitude in a highly sought-after river valley.
