Mount Ellis Meadows Subdivision

Mount Ellis Meadows is a 28-lot subdivision in southeast Bozeman, just off Bozeman Trail Road near the Main Street I-90 exit — about five minutes from downtown. The lots are approximately one acre each, and the neighborhood sits adjacent to Forest Service land with direct trailhead access. There are over 11 acres of reserved open recreation space within the subdivision itself, a 2.5-acre park with a playground and basketball court, and roughly three miles of walking and biking paths. The Bridger Mountain views are unobstructed from most of the neighborhood. Only two homes sold here in the past year — this is a neighborhood where people tend to stay, and when something does come available, it tends to move quickly.

Mount Ellis Meadows has over 11 acres of reserved open recreation space, a 2.5-acre park with a playground and basketball court, and approximately three miles of walking and biking paths. Forest Service trailheads are accessible on foot from within the neighborhood -- including routes toward Lower Mount Ellis and the broader Gallatin National Forest trail network. The Bridger Mountain views are unobstructed, and the feel of the neighborhood is more open land than typical subdivision, with horses present on some properties.

Mount Ellis Meadows tends to attract buyers who want genuine acreage and trail access without sacrificing proximity to town -- five minutes to downtown Bozeman on an acre-plus lot is a combination that's increasingly hard to find. The Forest Service adjacency and walkable trailheads make it especially appealing for buyers who want outdoor access as part of daily life, not just a weekend drive. It also suits buyers who prefer a quieter, more established neighborhood over areas with active construction.

- With only 28 lots and low annual turnover, inventory here is genuinely limited. Setting up a listing alert is worth doing if Mount Ellis Meadows is on your radar -- homes don't stay available long when they do appear.

- Some properties in the neighborhood have horses on site. If equestrian use is something you want (or want to avoid), factor that in when comparing specific listings.

- The neighborhood sits adjacent to Forest Service land, which means direct trailhead access -- but also means understanding what that boundary means for neighboring land use. It's a feature for most buyers, but worth knowing.

- HOA status is worth verifying for any specific listing. [verify directly]
