PAINTED HILLS

Learn More About
Painted Hills Subdivision

Painted Hills is one of south Bozeman’s most established and private high-end subdivisions — spacious lots of 1.1 acres or more, classic architecture, and panoramic views of the Bridger Mountains. It sits just outside city limits near Kagy Boulevard, close to MSU, the Museum of the Rockies, and several south Bozeman schools, yet with a country feel that’s hard to find this close to town. Only 3 homes have sold here in the past year — this is a neighborhood where people stay for decades, and when properties do come available, buyers take notice.

Painted Hills is characterized by its Bridger Mountain views, large private lots, and classic architectural character throughout. The proximity to Kagy Boulevard gives fast access to MSU and downtown, while the neighborhood itself feels distinctly removed. Ridge Hill, a proposed mixed development, is planned adjacent to Painted Hills on Painted Hills Road — worth monitoring as it develops.

Painted Hills tends to attract buyers who want the combination of a large lot (1+ acre), established classic architecture, prominent Bridger Mountain views, and close proximity to MSU and Kagy Boulevard — in a neighborhood with very low turnover and a consistent, high-quality character throughout.

- Ridge Hill, a proposed new development, is planned on Painted Hills Road adjacent to this subdivision. It includes duplexes, rowhouses, and multi-family apartments — a meaningfully different character from Painted Hills. Worth monitoring the progress of that development and understanding which Painted Hills listings sit closest to the proposed site.

- Lot sizes are consistently 1.1+ acres throughout — one of the most uniform lot standards in any Bozeman subdivision at this price point. What you see is what you get in terms of space.

- Located just outside Bozeman city limits — understand what this means for city services, permits, and assessments before purchasing.

- No current active listings — set up a listing alert if this neighborhood is on your radar.
