442 Balsam Drive | Bozeman, MT

Set on over an acre in Hyalite Ranch, this newly completed custom home by Old Mill Homes was designed for buyers who want clean architecture, meaningful function, and the kind of quality that holds up long after the first showing. With 4,564 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and a 3-car garage, the floor plan delivers what so many luxury homes miss: a large and livable main level, intentional separation between private and shared spaces, and the infrastructure to support real life at a high level. The main living area opens beneath vaulted ceilings and a dramatic wall of glass, connecting the great room, dining area, and kitchen in a way that feels open without losing warmth. A gas fireplace grounds the room, while mountain views and southern exposure do the rest. Just beyond, a massive covered patio with its own fireplace creates a true extension of the living space, making it easy to enjoy outdoor dining, entertaining, and Montana evenings well beyond summer. The kitchen is equal parts showpiece and workspace, finished with Thermador appliances, custom cabinetry, generous island space, and subtle details that elevate the experience, including LED under-cabinet lighting and luxury fixtures sourced from Arhaus, Lumens, and Restoration Hardware. The main-level primary suite is where the house really separates itself. Spacious, private, and beautifully finished, it includes an oversized bath with heated floors, strong scale, and a custom closet that feels intentional rather than an afterthought. Upstairs, additional bedrooms, bathrooms, and flexible bonus space allow for guests, work-from-home needs, recreation, or multigenerational living. Behind the scenes, the home is exceptionally well equipped with multi-zoned forced air heating and air conditioning, a humidification system, heat recovery ventilation, heated makeup air for balanced ventilation, radon mitigation, upgraded insulation, a whole-house water softener, 400-amp electrical service, wiring for EV charging and a hot tub, and selected windows pre-wired for electric blinds. Even the heated 3-car garage goes beyond storage, with a dedicated boot wash station built for Montana living. This is a home that delivers the visuals buyers expect, but also the systems, comfort, and long-term quality they rarely find all in one place.
