Altius Design Group designed this rustic mountain homestead with a modern elegance that is located in Whitefish, a resort town in the Rocky Mountains of northwest Montana. Some features of this dwelling include reclaimed wood siding, built-in storage, innovative seating and sleeping arrangements, a barn door, bookshelves, and a large kitchen island.

The facade boasts an attractive combination of lichen-covered shingles, Montana fieldstone, and reclaimed timbers, giving a weathered and rugged aesthetic to the exterior. Aside from the windows and doors, the only new materials on the exterior are the asphalt/fiberglass roof shingles, selected for their economical and fire-resistant features.

What We Love: This Montana homestead is a beautiful example of modern mountain living that seamlessly integrates the rugged outdoors into luxurious living spaces. The design is a reflection of the owner’s desire to select repurposed elements to make the home appear as though it has always been on the property. The views on this property are breathtaking, which can be enjoyed from the spacious outdoor decks and charming screened-in porch.

The interior of this 5,000-square-foot dwelling is a delight to the senses, reflecting an east coast take on traditional western design elements. The hand-hewn beams and wood slab siding offer an inviting warmth and create a sense of home. The painted millwork and smooth white walls give the interior a clean, modern look. Together, these elements create a balanced and stylish atmosphere that is both inviting and current.
