Perched on a hillside in the upper Rattlesnake Valley of Missoula, Montana, this stunning home features inspired architecture, light-filled rooms, and private retreats. Constructed in 2021 by the current owner, the home is a collection of the best in design ideas and materials gathered through years of client projects and keen observation. The home is meticulously positioned into the sloped lot so that the massive south-facing windows gather maximum daylight on both levels throughout the year. On the back of the home, expansive sliding doors provide access from the living area to the private patio where luscious landscaping frames the charming, lined irrigation ditch that traverses the property, and the inviting hot tub makes the area a year-around gathering place. For a more intimate outdoor living space, there is a small, secret deck accessed only via the primary bedroom, and shaded for privacy and comfort by some of the large trees on the property. Exterior materials include low-maintenance, fire-resistant Hardy Plank siding, a standing seam metal roof over foam insulation, and high-quality, energy efficient windows. The home is even wired for the addition of solar panels in the future. Inside the home, visitors are greeted by a welcoming entry where the custom walnut and epoxy bench and coat hooks are a foreshadowing of the artistic finishes to come. The rich, reddish hue of the tiger wood floors is absolutely stunning, and perfectly contrasts with the cool tones of the custom fireplace surround and painted kitchen cabinetry. Local artists were enlisted to create the walnut counter with epoxy accent in the kitchen, as well as the intricately curved metal stair railing. Butcher block on either side of the six-burner, dual oven range is also walnut. The walk-in pantry has a second sink and provides space for the microwave, wine refrigerator, coffee area and food storage. The primary bedroom is located immediately beyond the living area and includes an en suite bath defined by two gorgeous tile mosaics, a double shower, and inviting soaking tub. Beyond the kitchen there is a second bedroom on this level, as well as a bathroom with tiled shower. The main level is completed by the cozy reading nook. As autumn fades in to winter in Missoula, there is nothing better than lowering the insulated shades, switching on the gas fire, and curling up on the day bed for a good read and perhaps a nap. Stand-out design continues on the lower level of the home where the Rais gas stove keeps the open, informal living space warm, regardless of the temperature outside. Two additional bedrooms, one large enough to serve the current owner as her studio, as well as a third bathroom are located on this level, and a bonus room with infrared sauna is yet another welcome surprise. Dual furnaces, hot water heaters and central air conditioning units, as well as an ERV for indoor ventilation, are all part of this extraordinary home designed to reduce duct work, increase efficiency and maximize comfort. The home also includes an attached, two-car garage accessed via the spacious mudroom and laundry area. An opportunity to acquire a generational home so near the Rattlesnake Wilderness Area and Missoula's center is indeed rare.
