Quality and thoughtful design are the hallmarks of this small but perfectly formed custom lake house in Woods Bay, perched on a private 5-acre lot overlooking Flathead Lake, Montana. Designed by Rowen Architecture with interiors by Daunt Designs, the vaulted great room, outdoor living space, and primary bedroom take in stunning views from every angle.
This 2,302 square-foot home features three fireplaces for entertaining and indoor/outdoor living, with a custom concrete hearth and mantel gracing the great room fireplace. The home’s design mixes rustic elements with a luxury resort feel, using organic materials such as wood, stone, and concrete. A weathered kitchen island sets off lighter maple perimeter cabinets, with additional convenience items such as a wine refrigerator and pot filler.
The primary bathroom is a light-filled, spa-like space with rift white oak cabinets, a porcelain slab, a maple-look wood slat tiled shower, and a statement concrete tub with gold accents. The primary bedroom has a moody feel with a chocolate brown and black color palette, so it is better to set off the view framed by large windows.

What We Love: This luxurious lake house balances refined design with the beauty of nature, where large windows frame breathtaking views of the lake. We love how the interiors are elevated yet welcoming, perfect for a lake house. The owner’s bedroom is also a dream, with its private deck that overlooks the lake. We can imagine waking up and enjoying your favorite morning beverage out here before starting the day and watching amazing sunsets over the lake!
