The Homestead | Whitefish

The Homestead The Homestead is a rare 1700-acre sanctuary just north of Whitefish, Montana, protected on three sides by State Forest land. 20-acre ranches offer your family and future generations space for your spirit to soar.

Here, a community of families will celebrate life with a balance between nature and nurture — a village of like-minded individuals who will bring their own original personality to this magical place.

As you cross the threshold of The Homestead gate, the transformation begins as the road curves toward The Mercantile. Grab fresh milk and a bear claw, the day’s paper, and move along with a friendly welcome from the shopkeeper before the road continues past waterfall park to your own original claim. You check your watch. Plenty of time for a stroll on the miles of trails that wind from your ranch. The wind bends the grasses in the meadow as you revel in this new adventure with life.

Life is short. What’s your legacy?

The Land There are places in the world that can change a person.

Parcels of land that will wrap you in its arms, a blanket of sun on a cool autumn day as golden larch needles scatter to the forest floor.

Rock shelves rise above verdant valley floors where elk gather on misty mornings. Trails wander to vistas where the sky circles around you. Montana’s gifts are overwhelming at times. The power of the land can literally change a person. The place becomes you.

Here at the Homestead, we’ve gently carved out a private sanctuary, carefully placing ranches between prominent landforms that have been created over millennia. Our passion for this space — a place for families to spread out and be playful — is the legacy and spirit we hope to share with generations. It’s a place where time slows down.

Time is our most valuable asset. How do you want to spend the rest of your days?

You have to see it for yourself.

Put your boots on the earth and take a long walk with us. The size of our ranches is surprising, even to seasoned property owners, because the variations of the land create pockets for each family to build their own dream.

The Ranches Each 20-acre ranch in our initial offering is unique, unfolding with modulations of topography and geology, suited to your individual family taste. Like the rolling Montana country, each ranch walks big.

A symphony of bird song will carry you from the top of a rock shelf with long views to the Whitefish Range, then down into a nestled hollow where wildflowers bloom.

The original settlers of the West found land and filed their claims in the Homestead Act as individual families — but many of the brave settlers also formed close-knit communities. The Homestead offers big space to breathe with your family, while still being part of a community that will be exclusive, yet comforting. Time between our own private spaces and also the spirit to share the wonders of life with others.

The kind of space and warm energy the original settlers desired.

We invite you to step on the land. Be an original. Get a new start.

Find the place where your heart starts to sing. Then stake your first claim. Generations of family will thank you.

The Clubhouse As the original homesteaders of the West increased their numbers, town centers were born that created energy and community. Where the road winds toward the sky, The Homestead Clubhouse will offer top-shelf service for a variety of athletic activities and culinary adventures.

A dedicated lap pool will be chiseled into the landscape for easy gliding through calm waters. World-class athletes will help fine-tune your muscles in our fitness center for all adventures under the sky. Golfers will enjoy putting greens, chipping zones, and a short, fun course for good-natured competition with neighbors. Delicious food sourced from valley farms just up the road—whether served more formally indoors or summer casual under the sun—will complement the array of amenities serving up your Montana memories.

Everything under the sun.

Whitefish, Montana The best of both worlds. Some seek it. Others find it. Why live in one when you can have both? The Homestead is a rare new opportunity in the West. Why? You know the three words: location, location, location.

Just north of Whitefish — one of the most authentic mountain towns in the Rockies, The Homestead offers space to spread out in a playful Montana community, nestled in a protected corner with access to everything you need.

While you’re bootjackin’ by the fireplace at your claim, you’ll rest easy knowing that Glacier Park International Airport is only 30 minutes away.

One of the top-ranked ski resorts in the nation? Whitefish Mountain Resort is just 20 miles from your door. Steaks and sushi are also just 13 miles up the road. Whitefish Lake? Glacier National Park? You don’t need to travel much farther. And perhaps that’s the point.

Time is fleeting, so why spend time rushing from one place to the next when everything you want is right in front of your eyes. You don’t need to settle for less. Make your claim this summer.
