Set on 20 private acres within the gated enclave of Cottonwood Creek Ranch, this one-of-kind mountain retreat is the result of a collaboration between acclaimed architect Jonathan Foote and OSM, one of the West's premier builders of handcrafted homes. Surrounded by towering pines, aspens, wildflower meadows, and views of Mount Blackmore, the 3,784± square-foot residence offers five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and an architectural authenticity that is increasingly difficult to find.
From the moment you arrive, the home feels inseparable from its setting. Steeply pitched rooflines, a dramatic stone chimney, deep covered porches, and natural wood siding allow it to settle effortlessly into the forested hillside. Inside, the entry immediately reveals the craftsmanship found throughout, with hand-hewn log walls, traditional wide chinking, peeled-log railings, reclaimed wood details, and wrought-iron accents.
Wide-plank hardwood floors, exposed timber framing, and substantial wood surrounds give the interior a warm, distinctly hand-built character. In the vaulted great room, an expansive wall of glass frames the surrounding forest and mountains, while a monumental stone fireplace creates a dramatic yet inviting focal point. The recently updated kitchen pairs alder cabinetry and new honed soapstone countertops with new stainless-steel appliances, offering a refined contrast to the home's more rugged materials. Covered porches, stone terraces, and a private hot tub patio extend the living spaces outdoors, while five bedrooms (two primary suites) provide flexibility for family and guests.
The location is equally exceptional. The South Cottonwood Trailhead is just moments away, providing access to thousands of acres of National Forest for hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and backcountry exploration. Hyalite Canyon, blue-ribbon trout streams, Big Sky Resort, and Yellowstone National Park are also within easy reach.
More than a mountain home, this is a true legacy property, defined by enduring architecture, irreplaceable craftsmanship, timeless land, and a setting that feels entirely its own.
