Property Description
Welcome to The Nest, an extraordinary mountain-modern sanctuary perched above the Bitterroot River on five pristine, wooded acres. Surrounded by protected forest and immersed in complete privacy, this remarkable residence offers a rare opportunity to experience architecture and nature in perfect harmony. A true birdwatcher's paradise, the property feels worlds away while remaining conveniently accessible.
Completed in 2019, this one-of-a-kind custom home was thoughtfully inspired by the principles of Frank Lloyd Wright. Designed with simplicity, restraint, and respect for the surrounding landscape, the residence quietly settles into its environment rather than competing with it. As you approach, there is little indication of the extraordinary home beyond, a deliberate architectural choice that preserves the serenity and natural beauty of the setting.
Hand-drawn architectural plans brought this vision to life, resulting in a residence that is both timeless and deeply connected to its surroundings. The exterior showcases a sophisticated blend of cedar, Sto concrete, Corten steel, and wood-grain siding, creating a rich palette of natural materials that will age beautifully over time. Crowning the home is a premium Epic Steel 1½-inch mechanical standing seam Corten metal roof, engineered with an impressive 100-year lifespan.
The welcoming entry introduces a spacious guest suite featuring a hotel-inspired en-suite bathroom, generous closet space, and the flexibility to be reconfigured into two bedrooms for future expansion. Nearby, a dedicated laundry room and a custom reading den provide thoughtful functionality and unique character. Descending to the main living level, reclaimed beams salvaged from Missoula's historic Mercantile Building, circa 1889, create a dramatic staircase that serves as both a conversation piece and a tribute to Montana's heritage. The staircase opens into a breathtaking great room where soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings and expansive walls of glass blur the distinction between indoor and outdoor living. Accordion doors invite the surrounding forest into the home, creating an immersive connection to nature throughout every season.
The heart of the home is anchored by a stunning 14-foot custom bookcase complete with a rolling library ladder, adding warmth and sophistication to the grand living space. Raw concrete floors flow throughout, complemented by rich cedar finishes and reclaimed wood accents that lend both texture and authenticity. A striking Sto concrete fireplace serves as a sculptural focal point, while oversized picture windows frame ever-changing views of the forest canopy beyond.
Designed for both beauty and performance, the chef's kitchen features custom Stevens Wood cabinetry with premium Legrabox drawer systems and innovative touch-to-open functionality, allowing cabinets to open with the simple touch of a knee. Every detail has been carefully considered to create a seamless and intuitive culinary experience.
Outdoor living is equally impressive. A sprawling Trex deck extends the home's entertaining space into the trees, supported by laminated cedar posts and sleek aluminum railings. From morning coffee among the songbirds to evening gatherings under the Montana sky, the outdoor spaces offer a constant connection to the property's remarkable setting.
Throughout the residence, top-of-the-line Milgard Ultra Series fiberglass windows maximize energy efficiency while capturing natural light and breathtaking views. Additional guest accommodations and beautifully appointed bathrooms ensure comfort for family and visitors alike.
The Nest is entirely electric and thoughtfully engineered for year-round comfort. Radiant heated concrete floors are powered by a boiler system, while high-efficiency heat pump PTAC units provide heating and cooling to the living room, upper bathroom, and bonus spaces. In the primary suite, a luxurious steam shower creates a spa-like retreat, offering the perfect place to relax and unwind after a day spent enjoying the natural beauty that surrounds this exceptional property.
Elegant yet understated, modern yet timeless, The Nest is far more than a home—it's an architectural masterpiece designed to celebrate privacy, craftsmanship, and the extraordinary landscape of the Missoula Valley.
