Montage Big Sky, Big Sky, Mont.

World-class rivers for fly-fishing and Yellowstone National Park are a stone’s throw away, as are trails for hiking, mountain biking, Nordic skiing and snowshoeing. There’s also Spa Montage, a game room and a bowling alley for those rare days spent inside. $5.76-$18 million
Arbor Eighteen, Brooklyn, N.Y.

Seven Lakes Ranch, Meeker, Colo.
Greg Norman’s Seven Lakes Ranch is truly the creme de la creme of sportsman’s paradises. Bordering the White River National Forest, 11,600 acres of varied terrain are home to some of North America’s best elk and white-tail deer hunting. Among the features of this sprawling ranch: fully equipped horse facilities, a 150-yard-long rifle range, a fitness center, and miles of riding and hiking trails. Outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate the fly-fishing, skeet shooting, boating and paddleboarding opportunities. Deluxe accommodations include a nine-bedroom Western-inspired lodge and private guest cabins. Located in the Meeker valley, Seven Lakes is a convenient jaunt to major Colorado ski areas, but you’ll probably just want to cozy up by one of its mammoth fireplaces. $50 million, Steven Shane, Compass, 970.948.6005
