About This Home

78 Lake Drive

Welcome to the Cozy Alpine Chalet, a passionately handcrafted log home and legacy retreat, thoughtfully positioned on nearly 7 pristine private acres of alpine forest. Just 11 miles from both Bozeman and Livingston, and only 25 miles from Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, the property offers effortless access to Montana's finest dining, shopping, and outdoor adventure—yet feels like your own secluded mountain top forest escape, worlds away from it all. The main home has been extensively renovated between 2022 and 2025 with over $1 million in thoughtful upgrades including a full rebuild of mechanical systems, a smart home setup, professional interior styling, and high-end finishes throughout. Artisan log construction, natural wood and stone interiors, and over 30 Andersen windows bring in forest and mountain views from nearly every room, while six fireplaces create cozy gathering spaces indoors and out. This mountain retreat includes a chef's kitchen with a full KitchenAid stainless steel suite, two laundry areas, and rich character in every detail. Tucked further into the trees, the Honeymoon Treehouse Villa is a newly built architectural jewel, elevated 15 feet above the forest floor. Built to Passive House / High-Performance standards, it features quadruple-pane glazing, premium insulation, and a future cantilevered hot tub deck, all framed by a soaring roofline designed for both elegance and energy efficiency. With all utilities installed and the interior ready for your finishing touch, this secondary structure offers limitless potential: a luxury rental, a serene guesthouse, or your personal creative retreat. This is a truly turn-key offering, with all furnishings, curated décor, bedding, chef's cookware, and antiques included. Smart home features like Yale Wi-Fi locks, remote lighting and climate control, iPad/voice automation, and Starlink satellite internet ensure convenience and connectivity, even in this private setting. Whether you dream of taking over a luxury short term rental business (currently commanding up to $1300/night in the high season), creating a soulful family compound, or stewarding a rare legacy property for future generations…The Cozy Alpine Chalet awaits. With unmatched craftsmanship, immersive natural beauty, and an incredible location at the gateway to America's first national park, this is truly Montana living at its finest.
