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 EverythingHomesteadunderthesun.
The Homestead is a rare 1700-acre sanctuary just north of Whitefish, Montana, protected on three sides by State Forest land. Expansive individual 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. The wind bends the grasses in the meadow as you revel in this new adventure with life. Life is short. What’s your legacy?
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?
The Land
The place becomes you.
Generations of family will thank you.
Each ranch 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 Ranches
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.

Whitefish, Montana
The best of both worlds. 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. 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 down 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.
Summer Adventure Basecamp for endless activities. The Homestead property itself is full of activities, but it also makes the perfect launching pad for all that Northwest Montana has to offer. Around here we like to say there are at least 60 activities within a 60 minute drive.
WinterBeyondAdventuretheresort.
Yes, one of the nation’s top Ski resorts is a handful of miles away, but the Montana winter has so much more to offer. Cross country skiing, snowshoeing, ice-fishing, snowmobiling, and even local traditions like Winter Carnival will keep you active in the heart of Winter.
PropertyAdventureAmenitieseverywhere.
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 activities. A dedicated lap pool will be chiseled into the landscape for easy gliding through calm waters. Golfers will enjoy putting greens, chipping zones, and a short, fun course for good-natured competition with neighbors. Play pickleball late into the Summer evenings. Let the kids run wild in the arcade room. The array of amenities are ready to help make your Montana memories.
