Nestled within the ruggedly beautiful landscape of western Montana is a private club anchored by one of the world’s most revered golf courses that is now offering new membership to one lucky homebuyer.
Entry into that elite circle comes in the form of a newly listed cabin that is located within Rock Creek Cattle Company, a prestigious 30,000-acre private members’ club and “golfing ranch” anchored by a course designed by famed golf course architect Tom Doak.
The four-bedroom property, which is on the market for the first time since it was built in 2014, offers not only a picturesque hillside retreat overlooking the expansive course, but also a rare opportunity to play on it, with membership to the “adventure club” included in the purchase of the home.
Blending rustic charm with outdoor living and access to high-end amenities, the cabin at 7001 Willow Creek Road, which is listed with Ron Snow of Glacier Sotheby’s International Realty, brings to life the true essence of mountain living.
Despite boasting an array of amenities beyond its front door, the home’s true allure is found in its surroundings, which are ripe with outdoor activities designed to suit every kind of adventurer.
“This homes brings you into the middle of Rock Creek Cattle Company’s golf, fly fishing, shooting sports, equestrian adventures, and more,” the listing crows.
Inside the home itself, residents will have the run of approximately 2,580 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space that strikes an ideal balance between cozy and refined.
An open-concept great room serves as the home’s gathering place, anchored by a stone fireplace that brings warmth and character to the interior. En-suite bedrooms provide privacy for family and guests, while quality finishes throughout elevate the cabin far beyond a typical mountain getaway.
Outdoor decks and patios extend the living space into the fresh mountain air, offering views of Deer Lodge Mountain, Mount Powell, Pike’s Peak West, and the Flint Creek Range—creating an ideal setting for morning coffee or evening cocktails.
What truly sets this property apart is its blend of seclusion and community. Future owners will enjoy the peace of a private cabin set within one of the state’s most coveted lifestyle destinations.
Rock Creek Cattle Company spans more than 28,000 acres of working ranchland transformed into a private club offering golf, fly fishing, equestrian activities, shooting sports, and ample hiking opportunities.
The community also provides exclusive access to wellness facilities, dining, and a full calendar of family-friendly events and activities.
For those seeking a slice of luxury that is entrenched in Montana’s rich history, Rock Creek Cattle Company promises exactly that—and so much more—with its website noting that, while the property now operates as a club, its lineage is rooted in ranching.
“The land that now makes up Rock Creek Cattle Company was once a part of the historic Grant-Kohrs Ranch, a sprawling empire that spanned nearly 10 million acres of southwestern Montana,” the website states.
The community was founded in 2004 by Bill Foley, who purchased a 30,000-acre parcel of the Grant-Kohrs ranch and set about bringing his “vision” of a true Western community to life.
“Raised on ranches his whole life, Bill has a deep connection to the beauty and tradition of the land,” the website goes on.
“Rock Creek Cattle Company is comprised of the 28,000-acre Home Ranch and secluded Rock Creek Lake. This land, known as ‘Spotted Dog,’ is one of the best elk winter ranges in Montana and a wildlife mecca with elk, bears, wolves, deer, and antelope.”
The community and club aim to provide residents with a true taste of the “Western lifestyle,” albeit coupled with many more modern amenities. Multiple different properties can be found across Rock Creek, including enormous private homesteads that span up to 110 acres.
“It’s the Western lifestyle lived to its fullest, with diverse homestead offerings ranging from one acre to 110 acres, along with luxury cabins and cottages built along Rock Creek that embrace the grandeur of their setting,” the website continues.
“Out here most introductions still start with a slight tip of the hat and a firm handshake. This casual formality will be your first of many meetings. You’ll soon discover that the Ranch will keep introducing herself to you day after day, year after year. Familiarity will come from knowing her history and tradition. A true connection is born from riding the land. Welcome to the Ranch.”
