Big Sky Town Center is located in the ski and summer resort of Big Sky, high in the Rocky Mountains of southwest Montana. Within the community of Big Sky, the Town Center is centrally located 7 miles below Lone Mountain and at the corner of Ousel Falls Road and Lone Mountain Trail.
The 165-acre walking village is surrounded by spectacular 11,000 foot snow-capped peaks. Although the slopes look close enough to touch, they’re a few thousand feet above the shops and homes, providing a milder living climate with mountain access, just minutes away.

History
The resort of Big Sky is a young community built on world-class recreational interests and a respect for nature. Like a village piazza, the Big Sky Town Center is the natural gathering place of the area, where everyone comes together.
In the early 1970’s after Chet Huntley announced that his plans for Big Sky included a Meadow Village and a Mountain Village, Bob Simkins and Jim Taylor bought the Sappington Ranch, which contains a part of the Town Center project.
Master Developer Simkins Holdings, LLC has been actively working on securing the development rights for the project since the late 1990’s, and the first infrastructure projects were completed in 2001.
Since then, many businesses and residential units have been completed, creating the hub of downtown Big Sky.
