Sleeping Buffalo Resort in Montana
Montana’s Turnkey Geothermal Gem
Own a rare and fully operational hot springs resort in the heart of Montana’s Hi-Line. Sleeping Buffalo is a historic, income-generating destination, offered as a turnkey business for immediate ownership.
Premier Hot Springs Facilities
The resort features a fully refurbished hot springs complex, fed by a 3,200-foot artesian well providing consistent 106–108°F mineral water. Facilities include:
- Large indoor and outdoor pools, hot tubs, cold plunge, and sauna.
- All pools use non-chlorinated, flow-through mineral water systems for fresh, clean soaks.
The natural artesian water is renowned for its healing properties, rich in silica, sulfates, calcium, and magnesium.
Diverse Accommodations & Amenities
Sleeping Buffalo offers a variety of lodging:
- Five fully refurbished luxury cabins (1 and 2-bedroom).
- Three modern hotel-style rooms.
- 31 full-service RV sites and tent camping areas.
All major buildings are efficiently heated by hot water from the artesian well, providing significant energy savings. The entire property is generator-equipped for resilience.
Gourmet dining awaits at 54 Prime Steakhouse (built 2023), featuring a commercial kitchen, radiant heating, and an outdoor patio. The adjoining Buffalo Saloon offers a relaxed atmosphere. The resort promotes self-sustainability with an on-site greenhouse and fresh eggs. Transferable licenses for liquor, gambling, catering, and tobacco are included.
Prime Location & Growth Potential
The property includes a spacious owner’s residence (5,388 sq ft) and a manager’s home. Strategically located across from Nelson Reservoir (4,100 acres), it’s a hub for fishing, boating, and premier hunting (big game, upland birds, waterfowl).
With nearly a century of history, Sleeping Buffalo Hot Springs is a regionally renowned, revitalized destination. This unique turnkey offering provides a seamless transition into a flourishing operation with deep community roots and substantial potential for future growth.
Now Nearly 100 Acres — Development Land Included
The offering has recently expanded. In addition to the resort and its original acreage, the sellers have added the adjoining 64-acre parcel formerly operated as the Horizon Hills Golf Course, bringing the total offering to just under 100 acres. The golf course is no longer in operation, but its infrastructure, established roadway access, and multiple water sources are already in place. A preliminary concept prepared by the owners illustrates the potential for 50 or more residential lots — room for a residential neighborhood, vacation community, or wellness village alongside the established resort operation.
Price: $9,700,000 (as of October 2026)
