Former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted has found his escape at the breathtaking Rockin’ JN Ranch, a sprawling 540-acre estate nestled near Sula, Montana. Valued at $5 million, the ranch offers the perfect blend of luxury and tranquility, with a custom-built timber-frame house that serves as the heart of the property.

The main residence, a 5,812-square-foot masterpiece, features three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a furnished basement with a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The open floor plan boasts a chef’s kitchen with premium stainless steel appliances and a grand living room centered around a stunning Rumsford-style stone fireplace.

Expansive windows flood the home with natural light and offer sweeping views of Montana’s picturesque rolling hills and snow-capped peaks. The lower level serves as a multifunctional space, doubling as an art studio or recreation room, complete with another fireplace. Above the master suite, a lofted bonus room adds even more versatility.

Outside, a spacious porch and two-car garage complement the home, while the surrounding 540 acres of grasslands, pine forests, ponds, and mountain vistas provide ample habitat for wildlife, including elk, deer, and bighorn sheep. The ranch offers endless outdoor activities like hiking, horseback riding, and wildlife observation. With State and National Forest land bordering three sides of the property, privacy is guaranteed.

The ranch’s additional accommodations include a separate three-bedroom manager’s home, a two-bedroom apartment, two workshops, and a greenhouse. Plus, a shovel-ready building site is available, complete with installed power, well, and septic systems, offering room for future expansion.

The Rockin’ JN Ranch is conveniently located near the Bitterroot River and Lost Trail Ski Area, making it a perfect retreat for outdoor enthusiasts seeking both luxury and solitude. With 124 more acres available for expansion, this ranch is an idyllic getaway that reflects Newsted’s refined taste and appreciation for nature.
