Welcome to Big Sky
Exclusive ski resorts, private golf clubs, beautiful natural scenery, and mountain living at its finest
Between Bozeman and Yellowstone, Big Sky has unparalleled views of the great outdoors and arguably the best skiing in the country. There are three ski resort towns: Big Sky, Moonlight Basin, and the ultra-exclusive Yellowstone Club, a 13,000-acre private residential community home to Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake and considered one of the top 10 lifestyle estates in the world. In the summer, it offers endless activities, including biking, horseback riding, golfing, kayaking, fishing, and trekking.
Big Sky is subdivided into distinct regions. You’ll find the highest concentration of luxury Swiss chalet-style condominiums and elegant slopeside townhouses in the Big Sky Mountain Village. Big Sky Meadow Village is the historic heart of Big Sky, and here you’ll find large cottage estates nestled in the forests and close to the golf course and town center. Gallatin Canyon offers single-family homes with large acreages. This area is known for blue-ribbon trout fishing; some residents own horses and have direct access to national forests.
