Spacious Great Room In the home’s main wing, the great room is open, airy, and welcoming, the perfect gathering place for family and guests for cocktails, conversations or just relaxing. The focal point of the room is its unique indoor fire pit, built into a star shaped stone surround. The fire pit is ringed by cozy, oversized seating and is capped by a copper hood suspended from the room’s high ceiling. The room’s design features include a tongue-and-groove wood paneled ceiling, and massive, floor-to-ceiling columns of lodge pole pine, lending the room a rustic charm. The great room features several sitting areas, rustic wire brushed hardwood pine flooring, and artisan light fixtures to create a warm glow. Bring the outdoors in by opening the foldaway doors onto the back patio and enjoy a cool summer evening while cozying up to the fire and enjoying the breathtaking views. Step through glass doors onto a wide patio with unbelievable mountain views. The great room opens to the main kitchen, convenient for serving at a dinner party or for family meals after a day on the ski slopes.
Gourmet Kitchen Adjacent to the great room in this home’s flowing open floor plan, the main kitchen blends the look of a rustic Montana ranch with modern convenience to suit even the most demanding gourmet chef. Heartland appliances are designed to resemble those in turn-of-the-century frontier kitchens, but with stateof-the-art efficiency and materials. The kitchen features hardwood flooring, and a central island with casual seating for four. Lighting includes a triple-bowl chandelier with an antique look and recessed lighting. There is a dual basin farm-style sink, Fischer Paykel dish drawers, and extensive built-in shelving. A disappearing, flat-screen television is discreetly tucked inside a cabinet on a motorized mount so your family or guests can watch a movie from either the great room or the kitchen. A stone niche houses one of the two ovens and a stove cooktop. After a day of hiking on a warm summer afternoon, gather your family into this inviting kitchen to make fresh pizzas in the wood-fired brick oven. A double window offers views of the mountain ranges beyond, and a convenient door allows you to step out onto the porch for breaths of fresh air while your roast is simmering in the oven.
Dining Room Step from the kitchen into the home’s inviting, airy dining room. A round table seats eight comfortably beneath a dramatic, tiered chandelier in an antique design. Rich wood tones and soft lighting make the dining room a perfect place for gathering with family or close friends. Hold an intimate dinner party in this casual setting with beautiful views of the outdoors. In this home’s open floor plan, only knotty wood columns create a border with the great room. Flow easily from the dinner table to the living area to relax by the fire.
Library The home’s main wing also features a cozy library. This quiet space is perfect for curling up with a favorite book, with its rich, dark leather wing chairs.

Whitefish, Montana Downtown Whitefish is a short 10 minute drive from the community, with plenty of dining, shopping, and amenities. This relaxed, friendly community near the Canadian border was created when the Great Northern Railway was built through the area in 1904. The town was named for nearby Whitefish Lake. The extension of the nation’s railway system in the wilds of the Big Sky Country opened Montana to development and attracted nature-loving visitors. By the 1940s, the area’s first ski resort opened, drawing sports enthusiasts. Whitefish retains the charm of a frontier small town, but now features sophisticated cultural attractions and city services. Annual events in the charming town include the Huckleberry Days Arts Festival, the Taste of Whitefish dining festival, and the World Indoor Golf Championships. Whitefish is conveniently accessible to both the major Canadian city of Calgary, Alberta, and nearby Glacier International Airport. Amtrak also serves the town; its train depot is on the National Register of Historic Places and is a popular stop on the Empire Builder Line. Skiers, photographers, fly fisherman, and nature lovers all enjoy the natural splendor and inviting charm of this mountain community.
