IMPROVEMENTS
MAIN HOUSE
The centerpiece of the property is the rustic, yet
elegant and timeless home that was designed by
renowned local architect Larry Pearson and built
by the highly regarded building company Onsite
Management in 2002 and recently remodeled by
another premier local builder Yellowstone Traditions.
The home was designed to incorporate and repurpose
three historic Montana barns that were reclaimed
and used as distinct design elements within the three
wings of the home. The 3,456 square-foot house was
impeccably and carefully designed for single-level
living with easy traffic flow that transitions indoors
and outdoors between the wings of the home that
surround an incredibly welcoming, protected, and
accessible interior courtyard. Utilizing the historic
barns provides an immediate sense of history and
when combined with extensive use of reclaimed
wood and natural stone elements, weaves an amazing
tapestry that blends naturally and timelessly with
the active river bottom environment.
A natural flagstone path guides you to the custom
front door of the house and sets the stage for the
architectural experience inside. As you enter the
foyer, your eye is immediately drawn through the
home into the courtyard with artistic functional
furniture and the surrounding river-bottom aspen
stand. The wide-plank fir flooring, moss rock, and
plaster walls that extend throughout the home offer
a grounding sense of continuity and connectivity.
The open kitchen, dining, and great room feature
vaulted ceilings with recycled timber frame and
— 3 —
square-cut log accents that form the welcoming
and active center of the home. This open-concept
floor plan provides an inviting location for everyone
to gather while preparing meals and enjoying a
beverage and companionship. The living space
opens to a screened porch on one side and the
courtyard on the other allowing the gardens and
river meadows to pour into the living area through
the expansive banks of windows and French doors.
The living room is complete with a massive moss
rock fireplace with a hearth that provides the perfect
place to warm by the wood-burning fire. Tucked in
behind the fireplace is a cozy office space that was
created with the historic bones of the ‘Springhill
Granary’ building.
The spacious gourmet kitchen features beautiful
dark walnut custom cabinets, that nicely balance
the prevalent ambient light and grey soapstone
countertops. There are three Waterworks sinks
and fixtures, with generous wrap-around counters
and a huge center island space providing multiple
workstations and comfortable opportunities for many
helping hands. The commercial-grade appliances
will satisfy any level of culinary event and include a
Sub-Zero refrigerator, two Sub-Zero freezer drawers,
under counter beverage chiller, double dishwashers,
ice maker, Thermador double ovens, and Thermador
range with six burners, a griddle, water pot filler, and
custom vent hood. Truly a kitchen built to meet the
needs of the most discerning gourmet chef or host
a large family gathering.
