Bozeman Landmark with Artistic Spirit and Timeless Appeal

Nestled in the heart of Bozeman’s historic southside district, this sophisticated Mediterranean-style villa blends architectural pedigree with modern enhancements, creating a refined yet approachable retreat. Originally designed in the 1920s by renowned architect Fred Wilson, the home has been thoughtfully restored and expanded, offering a rare blend of heritage, comfort, and creativity. The property exudes character through its arched doorways, grand circular staircase, and original detailing, while curated additions like the “Shed-ma-hal” art studio, outdoor shower, and hot tub sanctuary lend it a playful, inviting spirit.

Surrounded by spruce trees, rock walls, and carefully designed outdoor spaces, the home offers both elegance and ease. The villa’s main house features a chef’s kitchen, formal and casual dining areas, two cozy fireplaces, and a welcoming living space anchored by a baby grand piano. A well-appointed gym and two laundry centers ensure convenience, while the backyard unfolds into a “Zen Zone” filled with hammocks, soft lighting, and serenity.

From the front door, Bozeman’s best offerings are just steps away. Montana State University lies three blocks up the street, and the lively downtown corridor—lined with boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, and the iconic Ellen Theatre—is within easy walking distance. Outdoor enthusiasts can hop on the Galligator Trail or stroll to Peet’s Hill for sweeping views and sunsets, while Southside Park offers tennis, pickleball, and winter ice skating just two blocks away. In every season, the home’s location offers the perfect blend of nature, culture, and community.

For those drawn to Montana’s wild beauty, the Villa is ideally positioned. Bridger Bowl Ski Resort is just 15 miles away, with Big Sky’s world-class slopes under an hour’s drive. In warmer months, the Yellowstone River beckons for floating adventures, fly fishing, and scenic drives through Paradise Valley leading to the northern entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Along the way there are fun local gems like "Follow Yer Nose" BBQ, Chico & Yellowstone Hot Springs.

With its architectural charm, creative soul, and access to Bozeman’s rich array of experiences, this one-of-a-kind residence offers an elevated take on Montana living. Whether enjoying the glow of a fire, the hush of a snowy morning, or the hum of summer downtown, this villa is a place to gather, rest, and truly feel at home.
