Rustic elegance re-defined in a Big Sky mountain retreat

Rustic Mountain Retreat-Pearson Design Group-01-1 Kindesign

Designed as a gathering place for both family and friends, this serene mountain retreat was the imagination of Pearson Design Group, nestled on a six-acre property in the Yellow Stone Club, Big Sky, Montana. The spacious 9,500 square foot home offers its inhabitants year round activities, making it an ideal place to have a vacation property. There is a lot to offer in this home, including breathtaking vistas of nearby Cedar and Pioneer Mountains. Window nooks throughout gives the inhabitants a cozy space to curl up and read a book or capitalize on the surrounding rugged terrain. The guesthouse features a tower with 360 degree views, a perk to being an overnight guest! The structure was designed to emulate a forest service tower, where this space is also used as both a meditative and yoga area, or to enjoy listening to the tranquil sounds of the nearby waterfall-fed pond. There is also a waterfall-fed pond on the property, suitable for swimming in and enjoying boating activities. Adjacent to the pond, a patio encompasses outdoor living and eating spaces with a built-in hearth and barbecue, allowing those enjoying this area to interact with nature.

What We Love: Although the home was designed to cater to the lifestyle of a family that enjoys gatherings and entertainment, the structure impressively reflects its natural setting, melding into the surrounding wilderness. What do you think of this home, do you find it comfortable and inviting or large and overbearing? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!

The architects designed the structure with a standard stick frame, clad with standing dead lodge pole pines stacked, which helps to prevent shifting, a problem that typically occurs with a larger sized home. The interior of the home is clad with reclaimed hemlock on both walls and ceilings and plenty of weathered wood for structural posts and trusses.

The kitchen features high-end appliances all the while in keeping with a rustic cabin feel. Custom designed light fixtures in the form of lanterns gives one the sense of feeling outdoors, all the while enjoying the comforts of being inside. The kitchen is open to the dining area, which flows on into the living room, creating an easy flow from one space to the next and encouraging conversation.
