Moonlight Club Membership Fact Sheet

Our Mission: To nurture a multi-generational, sustainable, and authentic community,
centered around outdoor experiences of continual discovery and adventure within the
Montana wilderness.
THE SETTING
Moonlight Basin is located on 8000 acres of Montana wilderness
in beautiful Big Sky, Montana, just one hour north of Yellowstone
National Park and one hour south of Bozeman, MT. The original 39
square miles of property was purchased by a group of local ranchers
and landowners in 1993, who immediately launched efforts to
protect, preserve, and enhance this slice of the Lee Metcalf wilderness.
Over half of the property was placed in conservation easements, and
substantial time and resources were invested into restoring the land
to its natural, healthy state. All past and future development has been
planned with conservation in mind, strategically creating a property
that provides both outstanding recreation for guests, owners and
members, and protects the natural resources and wildlife that call
this stretch of Montana wilderness home.
OWNERSHIP & DEVELOPMENT
Moonlight Basin is being developed by Lone Mountain Land Company, a real estate development firm in Big Sky, that was
formed to manage the planning, entitlement, building, marketing and sale of premier real estate in the community, and to
oversee operations of the Moonlight Club and Spanish Peaks Mountain Club. Lone Mountain Land Company believes in
the importance of supporting the thoughtful growth of the area, and understands the best possible development is done
responsibly and in a sustainable manner, both in terms of protection of the environment and the long-term economic
prosperity of the Big Sky community. Boyne Resorts manages the public ski operations and skier support services at Moonlight
Basin. Boyne Resorts is the second largest owner and operator of ski and golf resorts in the United States and has the longest
running management team at nearly 60 years.

WILDLIFE
Moonlight Basin is home to nearly every native species of
animal that calls Montana home. Our conservation efforts
have maintained a wildlife corridor between the two parcels
of the Lee Metcalf Wilderness. Elk, moose, wolves, bears
and deer roam freely in these conservation easements and
in our remaining 8000 acres as we’ve purposely preserved
the corridors that connect low wintering grounds to highelevation summer habitat.
