Nick Rowley bought a 60-acre estate in 2017 for his family to live in while they remodeled their original home. Now, he’s putting the estate back up for sale for $23.5 million.

Located in a gated community called the Big EZ Estates, the estate at 7000 Beaver Creek Road includes the primary residence, a guest house, a toy barn, and an outdoor spa building, per the listing .

The Big Sky, Montana, property offers expansive views into Yellowstone National Park, listing agent Martha Johnson with Big Sky Real Estate told Insider.

This is the first time the house has been listed for sale since 2017, listing records show.

“We bought this house to live in while we remodeled and added an addition to our original ranch, which is a mile down the road. We’re selling it now because that house is ready for us to move back in,” Rowley, a trial lawyer, told Insider.

There are 59 single-family homes for sale in Big Sky, Montana, per real-estate platform Realtor.com . Properties in the neighborhood range between $1.09 million and $23.75 million. With its $23.5 million price tag, 7000 Beaver Creek Road is the second-most expensive listing in the area. A grand stone fireplace forms the centerpiece of the living area in the main home. Made from river rock, the floor-to-ceiling fireplace takes up an entire wall.

Numerous other walls, pillars, and fireplaces in the house are crafted from the same river rock, Johnson said.

“The stonemason, a true artisan, was able to repeat a bear paw design throughout the property, with larger rounder rocks used for the pad of the foot and narrower rocks used for the claws,” she added.

Rowley said this room is one of the family’s favorite parts of the house: “We love spending time reading or playing board games in the great room with a fire burning.” The dining room comes with a table fit for a party of 14 — perfect for Rowley, his wife, and their 11 kids.

Rowley and his family currently live in the house full-time. “My wife and I are trial lawyers and authors. We have a national trial firm, and we built a hangar in Bozeman where we keep our jet that gets us to trial,” Rowley said. The city of Bozeman is an hour’s drive from their house. “This property is perfect for a family who likes to entertain friends, family, and business associates,” Johnson said. The kitchen, which was recently remodeled, is fully equipped with appliances and has an island counter, Johnson said. The master suite is fitted with a canopy bed, two sofas, and a fireplace.
