At the C.W. Rank House, mornings begin a little differently. Built in 1898, this remarkable Virginia City property is a rare home with a presence all its own. Morning light settles over mature trees, gardens and lawn, creating a peaceful setting for reading, gardening, gathering with friends, or simply enjoying the luxury of having nowhere to be. The mountains frame the distance, while historic Virginia City is just a short walk away. Built by Charles W. Rank, a prominent businessman who served as a city councilman and mayor, and his wife, Elizabeth, the home has witnessed more than a century of Montana history. Its original spirit remains, complemented by updated plumbing and electrical for modern comfort. Victorian character remains throughout, from historic doors and captivating wallpaper to storied rooms and period details. In the living room, a finely carved oak mantel and decorative glazed tile surround a gas fireplace, creating a warm gathering place steeped in history. By afternoon, wander Virginia City's wooden boardwalks, explore preserved architecture and museums, browse local shops, or take in live theater and summer traditions. Here, history isn't something you simply visit, it surrounds you. The property offers flexibility with a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath main residence and a separate guest cabin with its own kitchen, living room, bedroom, loft space(s) and 1.75 bath. Ideal for family and friends, a private retreat, or income-producing use, the two spaces offer possibilities and preserve the property's distinctive character. While life here feels removed from the modern pace, it remains connected to the places you need. Ennis and the Madison Valley are approximately 15 miles away, placing restaurants, shopping and the broader Valley within easy reach. Bozeman is approximately 80 miles away, with Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN) approximately 75 miles away, close enough for convenient access. As evening arrives, the streets grow quiet, the stars emerge, and Virginia City settles back into the peaceful mountain town its residents know and love. Gather around the fireplace, sit on the porch as the last light fades, or simply enjoy being exactly where you want to be. This is not a home meant to feel new, and that is precisely its beauty. The C.W. Rank House is more than an opportunity to own a piece of Montana history. It is an invitation to live more quietly, more beautifully and more intentionally, in a place with a story.

At Cedar Creek #53, the last run of the day on Big Sky Resort's world-class terrain ends a short walk from the front door. Set on the top floor at the edge of Big Sky's Mountain Village, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condominium keeps the lifts, the trails, and the village close in every season. Inside, an open living area gathers everyone after a day well spent on the mountain, and a deck carries the living space into the open air. Winter mornings start with a short walk to the resort shuttle, which runs to the Mountain Village base and three of the resort's lifts: Ramcharger 8, Swift Current 6, and the Explorer Gondola, with its direct connection to the Lone Peak Tram. The tram climbs to the 11,166-foot summit of Lone Mountain, above more than 5,800 skiable acres. The return is a ski-back through the Powder Ridge Cabins or a shuttle ride that stops just across from the Cedar Creek neighborhood. Summer brings lift-served mountain biking and alpine hiking, and the long evenings fill with free concerts in Town Center Park, the weekly farmers market, and the Big Sky PBR each July. Beyond the resort, the restaurants and shops of Big Sky Town Center, the Nordic trails of Lone Mountain Ranch, and the Gallatin River, with its fly fishing and whitewater rafting, are ten to fifteen minutes away. Historic Main Street in Bozeman, Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, and Yellowstone National Park are each just over an hour's drive. The Cedar Creek association handles snow removal, grounds, and exterior upkeep, so the condo can be closed up between visits with little to manage. Offered furnished, #53 serves as a weekend retreat or a full-time home, and for investors, a long-term lease is in place and available to convey to the new owner. All that's left is the first snow of the season.
